Question

My daughter is 11 and weighs 63lbs and she is 4 7 is she too skinny?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

if you are concerned about your daughter's weight and/or eating habits, perhaps visit the doctor.

i remember when my son was four years old he was very thin, but seemingly healthy. i talked with his pediatrician about it, and his response was "he will eat when he's hungry"...

my son is 32 and just fine today; but if you are concerned, then make a doc's appointment.

Answer 3

She's way to skinny. She's 20 pounds under her average age! Please give her more fatting things.

Answer 4

No, I'm the same.

Answer 5

OMG! YES! GET HER SOME CAKE ASAP!

Answer 6

no...she is just at that gangly stage of development...

don't even mention or bring it up to her....you will give her a complex that could progress into an eating disorder. Girls are very conscious of their bodies at that age, so i would be more encouraging and accepting of the way she looks, rather than point out her differences. Be positive. If she is the one complaining, tell her she headed for Olympic Volleyball or America's Next Top Model.

Answer 7

i would say maybe, i am 4'7ft. tall and i weigh 87lbs. if u have further questions just type in BMI on google and put her height and weight. then the results will come in and they will say if she is at a healthy weight or not. hope i helped. =)

Answer 8

That is kinnda skinny, but don't worry a lot, cuz when I was 11 I weighed 62 lbs and was 4 8, and I am perfectly healthy right now.

Answer 9

yes my friends sis is 11, 5'7 and weighs 65 pounds

Answer 10

that does seem way too light for a girl, but ask a doctor

Answer 11

No she is fine.  There are too many fat kids these days. Many teenage girls who weigh more than NFL linebackers weighed 30 years ago--- believe me thirty inch thighs are not that attractive

Answer 12

Yes. She should weigh at least 92 lbs.

Answer 13

not really but alittle skinny

Answer 14

YUP

Answer 15

Yes im in 6th grade and i weigh 114 pounds about to go to 7th and i asked my doctor if i was overweight and he said the average 7th grader weighs 120 pounds

Answer 16

No, she probably isn't. If she eats well, (make sure she does), than she is just lucky and has a naturally thin build. in fact, i'd say i was somewhere around there. but if she isn't eating well or she is too careful about what she eats then you should ask her doctor.

Answer 17

Answer 20

No that is fine! That's just how she is... I was like that when I was that age!  Well My weight when I was 20 was 80 so go figure...lol.. I'm fine now....and before... She is slim and just fine how she is no bigger no smaller!!!!! Take care..

Answer 21

this web site will tell you the aproximate BIM % which is more important than hight to weight ratio. but remember you can recieve a false positive or false negative depending on how much muscle mass she has. for a more accurate BIM go to a doctor and ask for a skin fold test.

Answer 22

Not at all.

I was the same at her age, as is my child.

Kids come in all shapes and sizes.  As long as she is healthy, don't worry about it.

Answer 23

wow....yea she is! try to keep her healthy~

Answer 24

yeah, dont tell her to eat faty foods or not to work out just eat more filling calories such as fruits, veggies and meats...... make sure she is getting the nutrients her body needs to stay healthy.

Answer 25

She seems kinda of light but talk to a docter. They will tell you wether she is just right,to light, or overweight(not in your case) but they would gladly help you out!

Answer 26

OMG OMG OMG

I'm 11 and I weigh 65 pounds and I'm somewhere around 4'6 4'7 and I'm a vegetarian but I yake vitamins so I get protein and stuff...wow. Me and your daughter have a lot in common. Also I am really skinny and I can like eat anything I want and I will barely gain anything like maybe a pound that I'll lose the next day if I eat a big breakfast or something...yeahh. Cool. Well, you know she's not the only one!

Answer 27

She is a bit tiny but dont worry because when i was that age i was very skinny. I only wiehged 75lbs. but I think, by looking at a chart your child should be around 90- 105 lbs. Just remember she is still growing

Talk to a doctor too.

Answer 28

I would not worry unless she is weak or often tire easy.if your really concerned have her thyroid checked.

Answer 29

She is neither overweight or underweight

Well I entered her info on a website (just put the birthday as in june but don't think it will make a differencevand she is not.

That age group has a big range

The healthy weight range for your height and age is 61 to 89 pounds (28 to 40 kilograms).

I woould say she is on the small side but she will catch up

Better underweight then overweight

Answer 30

yes I'm 11 I'm 5ft. and I way 85 pounds see what she eats see if she doesn't eat that much because she wants to be skinny this is serious she could be an anorectic.

Answer 31

she does seem a little small, the height is fine though... make sure she eats breakfast
