Answer 1

That totally depends on your height. I weight about 105, but since I'm five foot two that's about normal. A good way to tell what your weight should be is the body mass index, which equals:

703 times weight (in pounds) divided by height times height (in inches)

The answer is your body mass index.

Below a BMI of 18.5 you're underweight, while over 25 is overweight. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

It depends on how tall you are. I think my nephew was 100 pounds at age 11, but he was fairly tall. If you're 4'10" or taller, you should be about right.

Answer 4

it depends on how tall you are... i'm only 59 inches tall and 89 pounds and 15 years of age so don't freak out... it could be muscles, larger legs, etcetera... if you're that worried about it, go talk to your doctor

Answer 8

depends on your height. honestly? i think you're fine. just dont gain for a couple years, coz that is probably a lot of baby fat that you have yet to lose, and you're going to grow and gain muscle mass.

Answer 9

You should talk to a school counselor for advise. Doesn't matter how large you are, what matters if you are eating healthy.

Answer 10

Yes.
