Answer 1

Hi there, My son is also 10 1/2 and weighs 77 pounds, to me he looks too skinny(of course I wouldn't tell him that) Your daughter sounds fine. Take into account that she may have a growth spurt soon, her bone structure, family history and so on...If her doctor isn't concerned, then I am sure she is perfect. As long as she is happy, healthy, active and eats healthy...then I would not be concerned...After all, she is still pretty young. I am sorry about some of those nasty responses you got to a valid question!

Its fine 4ft 5" 95lbs is fine and by that age a girl in 5th grade might be like she is fat when she is not i dont know what its called i forgot but she is fine

Answer 4

Please don't express this consern to your daughter, it'll just make her self concious. That sounds like a fine weight. If you are worried look up a height weight chart or talk to your doctor. If she's exercising and eating healthy then it sounds like she's doing great. Eating disorders are running rampant so just encourage her healthy lifestyle but don't push it to where she may develop an eating disorder.

yeah it is a bit, in Australia she would be 43 kilo's, im 18 and 156 centermeters tall and i weigh 50 kilo's im not under weight that badly, Maybe get her into more physical activities, like softball or dancing or something, goodluck

Answer 6

My son is 5" tall and he weighs 100 lbs. He is almost 11 y/o. I don't think she is overweight. If she is active she will work it off. Don't worry too much about it.

Answer 7

I have a friend who is 5'0 and 75 pounds may I add shes 30!!!!

I think its more proportion than anything. Is your child proportioned? is there a belly? does the child have poor eating habits? Does he child get exausted easily??? I would take all that in consideration before labeling the child fat or to thin

Answer 8

nope! shes not fat and not to heavy, even if she has a little belly it doesn't matter. (wheni was younger i had a friend, she was 12 n about 4"10' n she wieghed 144 pounds.... that's fat!no offence to her or anything.....)

Answer 9

no there is nothing wrong with her. My daughter is this exact same age and the exact same measurements. My daughter is beautiful happy and healthy.

Answer 10

It doesn't sound excessive. Does she look fat, can she excercise without getting out of breath too easily?
