Answer 1

I would say that you are a little over weight but your still growing so I wouldn't worry about it!

Answer 2

I'm exactly the same, except I'm 5'4 with a size 10 shoe. I'm trying to lose weight so I can fit into more clothes. I've posted a site that might help you a bit. It shows the ideal weight for a 5'5 women- you are in the ideal range.  

Answer 3

No, you're not close to being overweight. You'll be taller than 5'5" when you've finished growing. Your doctor is the only person who is qualified to make a decision about your weight. Enjoy your life!

Answer 4

your bmi is 23.3 which is close to being over weight, but your young and your goingt o get taller so if you matain your weight you will be fine

Answer 5

eh you most likely dont have bigger bones, you are just close to being overweight because your bmi is about 23.3

Answer 6

I don't think that you should be worrying about your weight right now, you are only 12! You should be playing and enjoying your youth :) That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a healthy lifestyle, but you definately shouldn't be dieting or anything. And while your BMI is nearing being overweight, that doesn't take into consideration your muscles so it's not completely accurate. The best advice is for you to be active, eat healthy, and play...I'm sure once you are done growing up that you will like your body a whole lot more
