Is 93 pounds normal for a 5'1'' 12-year-old girl?

Answer 1

I do not think that is overweight. I am 4'8 and weight 70 pounds and eleven years old, but my doctor even tells me I am underweight. It all depends on the figure I believe.

I think she is a very small percentage above average, but I don't think she is way over. Still, that might be because all of the other students in my school are extremely heavy, so please don't take my voiced opinion as scientifically estimated.

I believe that she is perfect for a growing girl, and she will probably grow into a beautiful teenager.

She will most likely be okay with her weight overall, and don't worry to much about it.

Hey im 96lbs. and i don't think 105lbs isn't something to worry about

Answer 2

115 pounds is really in the ballpark. I'm exactly the same age, weight and height, and my bmi is healthy. Never let anyone tell you you are too fat or too thin. Bmi is also not always accurate.

Answer 3

The target weight for a girl who is five foot two is between 99 and 121 pounds. 95 pounds is slightly underweight, but close to the healthy weight for this age and height.

A little more:

According to several sources (including the one in the related links section), a girl who is 5'2" is ideally around 105 pounds. Given this, you are just a tiny bit underweight. BUT, bear this in mind: You are still at an age when your body is changing rapidly. Even though you may not gain more in height, your organs and nervous system are still developing and moving you toward adult physiology. The very WORST thing you could do is undernourish yourself at a time when your body needs it most for proper interior growth and strength.

Eat sensibly, meaning eat nutritious things when you are hungry, and avoid snacking when you are not. Avoid foods that contain a lot of high fructose sugars as that ingredient has been proven to induce overeating. Otherwise, the usual rules of thumb for eating sensibly apply. The hardest part is keeping food and meals right at the level your body needs it, not where friends, fads, or taste try to lure you to. You are master of your body's health and well-being, so steer for a center line of good food that helps you feel good and look good. Sliding into "too skinny" or "too overweight" is not good for you, so don't let peer pressure govern how you manage something so important. After all, you will be with your body for the rest of your life. You want to make it strong, flexible, and happy so that you can get the maximum fun out of life.
