If you want to use an easy thing to guess. \n\nIf the person is 5 feet tall, they should weigh 100 pounds. \n\nFor each inch of height above 5 feet, they add 5 pounds. \n\nEg:  I am 5 foot 6 inches, so I should weigh 130 pounds. (approximately).  but don't make a big deal about it, if she stays active, she will burn the calories she intakes.  It is if she is not active, and eating poor choices, that you may need to suggest activities that will help keep her burning fuel. \n\nGood luck.  Self esteem begins at home.

No, you are not overweight.  Check out http://www.tbfinc.com/overweight.htm\nNot showing you this as a weight loss thing but for the weight chart (quickest one I could find).\nI'm 17 year old female and a sophomore in NROTC (Marine Corps Option).  We have to keep a certain weight (or they look at our body fat %).  I'm 5'5-5'6 but my weight goes between 129-135...depending on my water consumption and amount of time im working out that week.  I've got very little body fat though, lots of muscle mass.\n  http://usmilitary.about.com/od/marines/l/blweightfemale.htm\nYou are still within a good weight even by Marine Corps standards so don't listen to the few idiots on here.\nIf you feel "overweight" start working out...even lightly.  If you gain lbs after that chances are its muscle or water--not fat.

I think the same way about myself. I used one of those BMI calculators, and it said that my weight is perfect. The thing is, those BMI calculators are not really accurate, because everyone has different bone structure. The best way to know if you are overweight, and how much, is to visit your physician. :-)

no you shouldnt your only 14 wait until your 16-18 and you know your overweight 5'4" and 118 is not overweight and if your going off of a Body Mass Index chart then that is BS also because according to a BMI my ideal weight is 200 lbs at 6'2" but I am 260 lbs I work out 4 days a week and run 6 days a week so im not overweight. What you could do now though is start running nothing wrong with that but dont worry about losing weight it will just happen naturally while running.

you're asking the wrong questions... not did i gain weight, but why am i freaked out about gaining weight. i think you need to get some help with this, you are not over your eating disorder.

A better question to ask is do you really need to lose 10 pounds. If you are over weight follow the advice about decreasing your calorie intake, make sure you exercise. Since you changed your question from 20 lbs to 10 lbs. I suspect that you are probably perfect just the way you are and that you are letting an incredibility distorted body image sold by the media make you feel too heavy.

This really isn't a problem. I am 31 years old. When I graduated from H.S in 1993, I weighed 116 pounds. I am 5 foot 6 inches tall. I have 2 children. My son is 10, my daughter is now 7, and GUESS WHAT? I weigh 116 pounds!! I eat like a horse!\n\nHaving a high metabolism really isn't an issue. \n\nAs long as you aren't anorexic or bulimic, I don't see the problem.

I guess it depends on your height.  (I'm a guy)- at 12, I weighed between 85 and 105, and I was one of the shortest kids in the grade (hit my growth spurt).  If you feel you're fat, don't worry about it too much.  Dieting this early is a bit unhealthy.  Just try and exercise to prevent from gaining more weight- if you lose some, that's even better.

Nope, you're normal weight. You can be skinnier, but you don't have a problem, you're not overweight.

112 is awfully light for someone that's 5'7". It really depends on your body type I guess. Just be careful and healthy about it.

No one has an average weight no matter what your doctor says. Most doctors say that you should weigh 115 or somewhere around there but this isn't always right. Its about what you eat, how much you eat, and how often you eat it. Sometimes it doesn't matter how much and what you eat your body shape willl be what it is eat to be if you stress alot, over-eat, lack exercise, and also what your families body composition is like. My mother's side of the family is wide hips, big boobs, and big ass but that doesn't mean that I inherited all those things from my mother.  My father's side of the gene pool is slim, trim, tall and thin, which I am not but still I don't always believe that anyone has an average weight because no one is made the same. Even if they be twins, triplets or setuplets!\nBe happy with who you are and not worry about your looks all the time! Looks aren't everything.

YOu have normal BMI (Body mass index), close to being over but it is not. \n\nYour BMI is 24.8\n\nBMI Categories: \nNormal weight = 18.5-24.9 \nOverweight = 25-29.9 \nObesity = BMI of 30 or greater

jeez your just a pound or two away from obesity,you either have to grow another 3 inches, or drop 12 pounds soon before your body thinks this is normal weight, im glad you asked i just hope we are not to late to fix this monumental problem whatever you do dont let this problem turn into a lifelong character flaw.

look it is really unhealthy for some one your age and size to be so worried about you weight. if you are over weight talk with your dr. just eat healthy and exercise regularly if you are insistant on losing weight but dont go too drastic because youll cause yourself to get sick and have long term health problems.
