that is absolutely a normal weight..i dont know which bmi calculator you used, but i just calculated it for you again and your bmi is around 20..thats on the LOW end of a healthy weight. youre 9...there is no reason whatsoever for you the be worrying about your weight. plus, bmi calculators do NOT take into account the fact that youre athletic, and muscle weighs a lot more than fat...the more muscular you are, the higher your body weight will be. and thats good. weight is just a number, and cant always be trusted to demonstrate ones level of fitness nor health. please..never worry about such things. k?

nicely some people benefit maximum of their weight contained in the 2d trimester. so that you'd be one in all those people. yet do not allow embarrassment keep you from seeing the overall practitioner. If it bothers you what he has reported a lot then attempt to work out if yet another widespread practitioner will take you this previous due. you would locate one which will. Regardless he weight benefit is a handbook. a lot of people pass over it and performance completely healthful pregnancies and little ones. even though it would advise it will be a touch harder on you in the course of the being pregnant and after wards in case you benefit more beneficial than the reported weight. My sister become rather regularly occurring weight earlier she had her very last toddler so the overall practitioner wished her to achieve about 30 pounds. She ended up gaining eighty. Her toddler become basically nice. inspite of the actual shown actuality that it meant that the astounding few weeks she become very uncomfortable via quantity of weight she gained. And this is been harder to lose the burden. yet except that, all become nice. So please do not allow your weight depress you or dissatisfied you. See a widespread practitioner, any widespread practitioner. Take care

I think that that's a perfect weight. I'm 13 right now and I'm 5'2 and i weigh 105lb and I'm not saying that I'm extremely skinny or anything, but i would much rather be nice and plump (in the butt and chest area)(i know you probably dont care about that right now! but you probably will, just saying!) than be skinny with nothing at all. trust me. You will start growing into yourself sooner or later and you will be glad.
and your friends.... they are most likely NOT 65 pounds. By 5th grade i was about 72 pounds and i was the skinniest in the class. And i even sometimes said i was around 65 pounds. I dont know why.. i was just a jerk trying to make my friends feel fatter. =[ that's a really dumb thing for them and me to do...
anyways, your weight is perfect. Just keep playing soccer and dont eat junk food too much and you will be fine. :]

1st of all those sites are not always right, b/c muscle weighs more than fat, and you said you play soccor so you got muscle whether it shows or not. and im not sure if that is "normal" or not, but every1 is different and it also depends on your heredity and skeletal build, so dont freak. and if you are really concerned just try to eat good foods and work out(just to tone muscles, probably dont wanna look like arnold) but if u do decide to lose weight do both of those things and dont starve urself b/c that really doesnt help u, and dont skip meals b/c if u do the body will think it is starving and will store any food u eat as fat...causeing u to gain weight.. i hope i have helped!

VERY normal and healthy!!!! You will lose your "baby fat" once you hit puberty. You are too young to be worrying about this! Just enjoy being a kid

You are not overweight. the BMI calculator may not have worked because I just calculated your BMI and it is 20.8, almost exactly in the middle of the healthy range. (18.5-24.9)

BMI calculators are designed for ADULTS, not for children. This here is a BMI calculator for children and it says you are perfectly healthy, see for yourself.

first of all, yes that is a very normal weight for your age.
second of all, you're only 11 years old...you're not even a teenager yet--you shouldn't be worried about your weight. there are little girls out there who are on diets and it completely boggles my mind! you are too young to be concerned about your weight...enjoy your childhood :)
