my daughter is 13 and is 5 foot 1. she is 80 pounds what is the healthy weight for a girl her age and height?

Answer 1

she is a little short which makes her way less. shes fine shes just thin.

Answer 2

5'1 and 80 pounds is perfect!!!! she can lose weight or gain weight up to 10 pounds she will still be fine i reccomend she stays the same. But I am also 13 and I am 5'6 and 100 pounds, maybe she can do excersise and get a little taller like jumping up and reaching.

Answer 3

80 lbs might be a good weight for her or she might be a little underweight. it depends on her bone structure, etc. but don't fool yourself. just because she's skinny, doesn't mean she's healthy or fit. you didn't mention her eating or exercise habits. if she's a junk food junkie, eats sporadically or spends alot of time on the couch, she's already falling into bad habits. make sure she's at least eating 3 square meals a day and involved in some kind of regular physical activity (gym class twice a week doesn't count!).

Answer 4

That sounds fine, if not a few pounds underweight..

height has more to do with it than age, people grow at different speeds.

Answer 5

for a GIRL that age...she needs to gain atleast 30 pounds

Answer 6

100-110. 100 pounds at 5'0, and add 5 pounds for each inch. but it depends on her bone size/body frame/muscle index...

Answer 7

my daughter is 12 and weights in at 100lbs, she is 5'3", she is very sport minded and in good physical health, she also likes to eat well. i'm in awe of my daughter. she is a great little girl, your daughter sounds like she is in good shape.

Answer 8

im 13 and some of the girls in my grade weigh less than that. She is fine, better that she isnt overweight.

Answer 9

thats okay if she is that skinny i am 13 to and 88 pounds so if she is well proportioned i wouldnt be worried.

Answer 10

She's considered underweight.
83 - 122 lbs. is average.
