A 12 year old girl could be as high as 5 ft. 6 inches and weigh around 140 lbs. Median for that age is around 5 ft. and 100 lbs. You can help your friend by inviting her out for sports and making sure she drinks lots of water.

I definitely agree. I saw that bikini thing and come on...her thighs weigh 145 lbs. alone! I'm not trying to be tacky, she's lost a lot of weight and kudos to her, but she does not weigh 145 lbs!

nope you are fine! !!!! \nKeep up a healthy life style and take care of yourself now or you will regret it when you are my age.\n\nThe chart I am looking at says you can go up to 155 lbs if you are larger boned and not be cinsidered over weigght... \n\nbut I would be no more than 141 if I was you!

I thinnk going down like to about 10 to 20 pounds be all right too. I know a girl who is your height and she's 105 lb. Her doctor said she's doing fine. Not underweight at all. BTW, I kinda agree with Pun. She's right.

Yes, 114 pound is a normal weight for a 15 year old if you are normal height also.

Anywhere from 140 to 170 is probably all right, depending on your bone structure and overal fitness level.  130 actually sounds a bit underweight.  For goddess sake, don't judge yourself by the fashion magazines, those models are all bulimic or taking drugs to keep their weight so far below normal healthy levels.  Healthy and confident is beautiful!

mine is pretty close except for it is about 15 years younger, and 15 pounds skinnier.  Hmmmmmm. Maybe it only looks like I want to look.  They don't really have fat, old broad avatars. hahahahaha

I'm 25 years old, 5'6" and 135 lbs.  I wear a size 4.  So no, 5'7" and 140 lbs is not fat!  The formula for ideal weight is: at 5', you should weigh 100 lbs, for every inch you are above 5', add 5 lbs.  +/- 5 lbs.

My daughter is hot, 4'11'', 110 lbs. My sister is gorgeous, 4'11'', 115 lbs. When I was 12, I weighed 120lbs and I was 5'2'' ...... I was a bit overweight. I think the real problem with your friend's daughter is that she is female. There are very few 11 yr old females in the USA who do not think they are overweight.

no, her bmi is 18.9, the normal weight ranges from 18.5 to 24.9, so she is quite normal in her weight

I think that sounds fine. My wife is 5'4 and 120lbs...so I think "shorter" girls are cute. And 130 is not fat, not even close. I bet you are a very attractive lady.

She has a good friend. You're kind of in an awckward position to help an overweight friend. If you try to help her to get thinner, she might end up resenting you because she'll think you don't like her.\nRemember that being fat is not a body problem, it's an emotional problem. What you can help her the most is in raising her self-esteem while she remains fat. Tell her "it's Ok to be fat". Well, not in those words. Say "don't worry about what people say, people are very judgmental, and they don't understand that women have issues". Tell her "I don't think you hate your body because you're overweight, I think you have had emotions you haven't resolved yet". That sounds like psychobabble but it's pretty close to reality. You can probably find a better way to say it.\nIf you're just wishing she was thinner, and she's bringing you down emotionally, you need to think of yourself first, also. You might get to a point where you can't take it, and that is OK, you can take a break too.

I don't think she's fat at all!, my friend is skin and bones and thought she was fat, and she was trieng to loose weight, i kept telling her she's not and so did MANY other people, i also showed her the averge weight 4 a 13 year old online and she finally reliezed that she wasn't fat and stopped trieng to loose weight. Maybe you should do what i did and kept telling her she's not fat, try to get some of you guys friends support 2.

i think it has more to do with height and body build than just age.\n\ntry using this BMI calculator that i put as a link, with gender, height, and age, and you can see your weight in comparison to other 15 year olds, a healthy weight range, etc.\n\nanywhere from 100-140 seems ok, according to what you wrote, but it could be flexible depending on your bone structure and lifestyle.

When I was 12, I was 5'3" and I weighed 110lbs.  I remember being healthy, not to fat or thin.  It all depends on your body type.  Those extra few inches could afford you an extra 15-20 lbs.
