i have an 8 year old girl and she weighs 57 pounds so i think an 8 year old girl should weigh about 50-75 LBS.

They all should weigh exactly the same amount.
Duh, how tall is the child?
BTW for all that said under 100 pounds - that better be a TALL 8 y/o to weigh 100 pounds. I didn't weigh 100 pounds until I was over 5 ft. tall.

Thank you for your question about the weight of an 8 year old girl.
I think before making any numerical statements - it is VERY important to know that children come in many different body sizes and shapes. And aside from any absolute weight - the pattern of weight gain, the child's bone structure, and the family's growth history all need to be noted. If a child is truly "heavy" for his/her age - or if there is a suspicion of that - I would spend time with a nutritionist looking at food choices to build longterm healthy habits. They say that our eating patterns begin with the grocery cart - i.e., what we bring home is what our children will eat. Also - role modeling good habits sets a wonderful example for all children.
Also, remember it's not only what we eat that determines our weight - but also how much energy we use through our daily living and exercise.
So - if you are concerned about a child's weight - I would suggest beginning by trying to establish healthy eating habits - with the help of a nutritionist - and by making sure that regular exercise (minimum 3 times a week) becomes the norm. For children needing exercise I usually suggest that their parents join them in the chosen activity - make it fun - even consider a small reward.
Now for numbers - for an average 8 year old female - the 50th % for height is 49.75 inches, weight 54.75 pounds. Likewise - the 95th percentile would be 53.5 inches for height, 76.5 pounds for weight. But I must advise you - do be careful about how you use these numbers. In the end - the child's doctor should be the best resource for assessing weight.

My daughter is 8 years old and weighs 76 lbs. She is also in the 99th percentile in height and is perfectly healthy. It just depends on many different factors. There is no one size fits all for any 8 year old
