I am 12 years old and weigh 147 pounds is this to much?

Question

I have alot of health problems and I am on over 12 medications could this be why I weigh so much.

I have started cardio workouts for 30 minutes to 1 hour 3 times a week.

I don't look big the scales just say I weigh 147 pounds.

My mom won't let me join my favorite sport soccer because she is afraid will passout or get really sick. I love physical activites and I try not to use my illnesses as an excuse.

I will take all opinons I just want to know so badly

Answer 1

It depends on your frame. If you are 5' and a very narrow frame, then you might be overweight. I am 5' 5", and was at 12, and my healthy weight at that point was 145 pounds. I have a very broad frame. The only person who can determine for certain if you are overweight is your doctor. Certain medications can affect your weight, but you need to talk to your doctor about your weight concerns. He can tell you if your medications are causing weight problems, and how to help that, or even if you're overweight at all. Don't take the word of anyone else who doesn't know your specific body type and situation as to whether you are overweight.

Answer 2

well, maybe a couple of your meds are keeping your weight up. you need to excersize!!!!
you are probably cutely shaped and everything...
I am 5'4'' and 140-147 pounds right now and my doctor told me that is normal!!!!
go sledding with family!!!
its great activity!!!
and in your basement get a boom box and dance around like you don't care!!!
thats how I get by.
and no way that girl that said she was 102 pounds must be like a stick!!!!
no shape at all!!!
when I was your age I thought that I had to be like 78 pounds to look good.
but that would be gross!!!
curves are a girls best friend!!!!!
you need to 6 small meals throughout the day
and try 5 servings of fruit a day!!!

have a great day!!
hope that it helped!

Answer 3

147 is way to much for a 12 year old girl. It depends on your height how much you weight. Im 13 and 102 pounds & thats normal. You should be like between 90-110 at the most.

Answer 4

how tall are you if you are under 5'9 or something like that then yes you are over weight as for the medication that could be effecting you but if think woe is me i am sick so no exercising then that will effect you as well
