Is 84 pounds a healthy weight for a 12-year-old girl who is 5'1''?

Answer 1

If your over 4'9, maybe a little. But don't worry about it. I weigh 120 pounds I'm 5'4. Sometimes I think I'm overweight. but then i remember as long as i exercise and eat right. it doesn't matter. So as long as your healthy, don't sweat it:)

Answer 2

No. I am 5'0 and weigh only 85 pounds. I am 15 too. It's not because I starve myself, its because my family is naturally skinny. My mom at 20 weighed only 90 pounds and she was/is healthy as can be. I am too. As long as you eat until your full, eat 3 meals a day, and are healthy according to your doctor: It shouldn't matter what you weigh!

Answer 3

No, it isn't overweight. At least, not from a technical, BMI perspective.

Your body mass index is within a normal range, but some people think BMI are unreliable. For instance, a 300 pound muscle man/athlete is healthier than a 300 pound couch potato. However, they'd look the same BMI wise. I don't know your build, but no, you're not overweight.

Answer 4

Yes, but a little skinny. I am 5'2 and weigh 122 and everyone tells me ALL THE TIME how skinny I am. But as long as she is healthy and happy with herself:)

Answer 5

A little bit, but I'm 12 years old,5'1 and 86 pounds so I geuss it's fine:)

Answer 6

No im 5 foot 2 and i weigh that much and my doctor says im fine

Answer 7

Well... I know my sister is around 100 lbs. (she is 13)and is skinny and healthy. She is really really active, probably more so than this girl you are talking about and is per muscle.

Answer 8

It depends on her BMI and bone structure.
