Is 84 pounds at 5"3 and 12 years old a healthy weight for a girl???

Question

I wan't to know if I should gain or lose weight. What should I do? Please give me good accurate advice if you can!

Answer 1

Please see the source attached sweetie.
It seems that you could have 3 things going on.

1. You are petite and very slim for your age...
2. You are underweight and for some reason feel the need to be even more thin.
3. You may have a problem with Anorexia or Bulemia.......

You picked the right person to answer your question. The link I posted has charts of what your weight should be and you are underweight. EAT A TWINKIE SWEETIE!!!!!!

In all seriousness sweetie, please talk to someone if you think you may have a problem. My fiance's Mother just passed away of Anorexia/ Bulemia....... She was a beautiful woman but because of this disease, and her chosing not to tell anyone, she ended up dying. It was so sad to see her frail tiny body on dialisis and all of the pain she suffered. If you think being thin and gorgeous is all that matters, try to think ahead to getting married someday and having babies with the man of your dreams. Or maybe even owning your own design company or something.

All of this skinny stuff that matters SO SO SO much in school right now, will mean NOTHING the day you graduate school. No one will care about that stuff. Focus on eating healthy and staying fit, but don't get into weighing yourself all the time. You are barely into puberty right now and you have got a ton of fun ahead of you little one. TRUST ME...... Now is NOT the time to worry about your waistline. AND if you feel that it is, then find someone you trust to talk to. They will help you.

Shoot, I will help you find someone if need be...

No. I am 5'4" and weigh 114lbs. and my doctor still thinks I have weight to gain yet. She tells me that I have the body of a gymnist. Not really a compliment. At your height you should be at least 110. But you know, I had the same problem when i was your age....and have yet to gain any real weight. I drink ensure and boost shakes and it still doesn't help. I do eat healthy and am constantly on the move being a nurse, but eventually it will all slow down and you will start to gain weight. The best thing is to talk to your doctor about healthy weights and what you can do to reach that goal. 84lbs at 5'3" is tiny....

Answer 3

You're at a healthy weight. At 12 years old, your body is still maturing and growing, so you shouldn't even think about worrying yet. Keep eating healthy foods, exercising, and all that good stuff.

Answer 4

My son who's 3 weights 40-one pounds and is 40 3 inches tall. i think of your daughter's weight and top are fantastic. as long as she remains energetic i'm specific you will don't have something to stress approximately.

Answer 5

You sound perfectly normal to me. I think you should be happy and enjoy your life. Concentrate on school and your friends. Think more about what you want to be when you finish growing up. Maybe it will be helping others in some profound way. Eat in moderation and you will always be great. Moderation in most things in life is a good measuring tool.
Be happy and not a worrier.

Answer 6

take you height in meters minus 110 and you will get how many kilograms you ideal weight is. for guys you minus 100.
for example i am 1 meter 55 minus so 155 -110= 45kilograms is my ideal weightand i weigh 43 so i have to gain wieght to be ideal. i am not sure how to convert pounds into kilograms so you will have to ask someone who does. and if your not your ideal weight just reach but make it healthy you dont want to get sick.

Answer 7

You haven't finished growing yet so don't worry about it now. Eat a healthy diet, easy on the junk & fast food and you'll do fine.

Answer 8

84 pounds at 5'3" is unhealthy at any age. Please drink some weight gain shakes. You'll feel a lot better.

Answer 9
