What should a 14 year old girl, 5 1" weighs?

Question

I currently wiegh 136. I don't think that's too bad for my age, but I'm short so I should most likely be less...right?

Answer 1

Well, this will all depend on a number of things, including height, muscle mass, body fat percentage, etc. A good weight to find out if you're in the right range for height is to get your body mass index number. You can figure this out with the following mathematical formula:

take your weight in lbs divided by height in inches squared multiplied by 703

(136)/(61)^2 x 703

=25.69 rounded to nearest tenth is 25.7

according to this you are at about the 80th percentile, give or take 1-2 percent, but not at or over 85%. Therefore, you are in the normal range!

If you were over 18, and your bmi was this high it would be considered overweight, but since you're still growing, you are placed into percentile categories and yours is within range. You will want to keep up with healthy eating and moderate exercise so that you don't run risk of becoming overweight.

Weight status category Percentile range
Underweight: Less than the 5th percentile
Healthy weight: 5th percentile to less than the 85th
At risk of overweight: 85th to less than the 95th
Overweight: Equal to or greater than the 95th

Answer 2

You should weigh at like 120, but 136 is not bad.

Answer 3

5 ft = 100 lbs. then add five lbs.
for each inch over 5 ft .

You should weigh 105-110.

You need to lose 26 lbs. Fortunately you are going to grow more. Just stop gaining.

Answer 4

I'm 13, 5'1 and I weigh 127 pounds. It's not bad. Do you have a jelly belly? Cottage cheese thighs? If you have those, then all you have to do is work out, eat healthier.

Answer 5
