Answer 1

It's not bad at all, you will want to maintain that weight for your growth spurt, so be smart and eat right!
I am 5'5 and weigh 135 I am also 28 and have had 3 kids. Also, I don't know what your eating habits are, but it certainly wouldn't hurt for me to tell you that portion is everything. Instead of eating a whole candy bar, eat half of one, hell, eat HALF of everything you eat and you will never have a weight problem.Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water a day, green tea is very good for your body as an antioxidant and help subtly speed up the metabolism. Salads (without fatty dressings and cheese) are very good for you, chicken is the king of meat in my opinion, as long as you don't fry it. Avoid fast food entirely, and walk anywhere you can as often as possible and buy a 10 minute tae bo dvd on ebay. Drink diet sodas and juices (aka - cherry coke zero, sobe lean, crystal light, etc.) avoid sugar, switch to the 100 calorie snack packs, including popcorn. Eat apples, they are very filling! Cheese is an unecessary evil as well, so is milk, if you have to have it, drink the fat free kind. 100 calorie popcorn is a great snack. Eat turkey lunchmeat instead of a whole sandwich, etc. Eating is necessary, over eating is not. I also have a meal shake in place of a meal, I find it incredibly helpful at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Answer 2

That is a good question. It is one of the most frequently asked questions by young women.

Insurance companies keep a lot of statistic about people and their health. The companies do it so they can predict when something will go wrong and how much it will cost them. Then the company knows how much to charge for insurance.

One of their favorite measurements of health is the Body Mass Index (BMI). At 5'4" and 126 pounds, you have a perfect score of 21.6 on the BMI index.

Generally, the BMI is applied to adults. I have less information about how it applies for age 12 girls, but your results are still good.

At 5’4”, you are pretty tall for age 12 girls. Ninety-five per cent of girls age 12 are a little shorter than 5’4”. Here are a few things to consider about your height:
a) Young people are growing taller with every generation. So, what is tall now, tends to become normal when you are an adult.
b) Young people often grow in spurts, and then pause for a while.
c) Many social studies have shown that taller people are more respected, get better jobs, make more money, and are thought of as more intelligent.
