IS MY DAUGHTER OVER WEIGHt?!?

Question

I have a 11 year old daughter, she is 5"2 and weighs 111 lbs. Is she over weight for her height? Also, if this helps she has had her period, and is developed up there.

Answer 1

only your doctor can tell you for sure since he knows her best.

i am that roughly that height and weigh 108lbs and i've been told that i am underweight; but i am also 29 years old! that's why i say talk to her doctor.

you can also go to www.webmd.com. i find lots of really helpful medical info there.

Blessings!

Answer 2

idont know but if she is its not by alot

Answer 3

My sis is the same age. I doint think that is overwieght, but not underwieght, Just right. =) ENJOYZ

Answer 4

No she is not. She is still growing and is just fine.

Answer 5

Does she look chunky? I f so just get her into a summer sport or some kind of summer activity.She dosen't sound overweight though.

Answer 6

probly not. I was kind of chunky when I was that age, but when I hit puberty, I thinned out a bit. As long as she isn't eating tons of the wrong foods I would leave her be for now. Just keep an eye on her and discuss food and excersize choices with her if you notice her starting to get chubbier.

Answer 7

She does not sound anyway, shape or form overweight....

Why not concentrate on her goals and achievements.... verses her weight?

Answer 8

I cannot see how she could possibly be overweight at 5'2" and 111 pounds.

Answer 9

nah. i dnt think the age matters. if u r 5'2 and 111 l thats pretty good

Answer 10

no, just feed her healthy and not that mcdonalds c**p and she

should be ok

Answer 11

nah, not really. like, she may just be fat and not overweight. 111 is not underweight, but its not really OVERweight. i guess its closer to overweight than underweight tho, so id have her exercise a little more.

Answer 12

No...that seems like a healthy weight.

Answer 13

funny thing is i'm 5''2 and 110 pounds and i'm 16.

She's fine she's not overweight at all she just matured faster than all her friends..

happened to me and i didn't grow anymore after that

Answer 14

No. I was the same way when I was that age. I was really tall and weighed about the same when i had my period. In order for girls to start their periods they need to be at least 100 lbs. She's normal!

Answer 15

I'm 5"3 and I weigh around 123lbs. I don't look fat. So I doubt she's fat.

She probably still has some leftover "baby fat" on her. I don't know.

Answer 16

One hundred and eleven pounds is not an extreme weight for a five foot two person.

Is she otherwise healthy?

Does she have a healthy diet?

Answer 17

Nope she's not over weight at all, in fact she's perfectly healthy for her age. BTW what does her period and having b*****s have to do with her weight???

Answer 18

She's at a healthy weight.

Her BMI is 20, which is just fine.  If you want to check the BMI calculator, try this site.
