Is my sister overweight she is 11 and weighs 102 pounds ,5 feet tall .?

...

stephy	for her age yes.

luvly	no but she needs to watch her weight

Lavender	no, I am the size of a 12 to 13 yr. old I am 46, weigh 108 and 5'1. Thats slim. but everyone else is saying yes so I might be wrong about that

suzaku	She is just at the top. Almost, but not quite. I think she's good for now.

Maria	Not even close. P.S.- This is a question for her doctor, not strangers online.

Adriana V	For her age.. Well, yes, she is. Any pics.?

Kevin	yes she needs to play an appropriate sport but don't make her do any regime because it's wrong to her health in this age . just tell her to hang with friends and running with them is a very good thing to her health and to get slim at the same time

katherine s	im 5'3 and 131 lbs. im overweight but my stomach is flat and hard.

Beth R	sounds like it but does she look like it? what does the doctor say? her age really shouldnt be a factor so much as her height. i have a friend who is 5 feet tall and she is in the 125 range. as your sister gets older she will develop more muscle mass too...........ask the doc!

snickybugg	Well....I think so....but a doctor should be able to tell you that for sure... I'm 5'5 and 114 lbs, naturally thin...I could be up to 130 lbs though and be 'normal weight'...

Betrayed and Insane	sounds like a little for her age

AliJDB	No! That is a perfectly healthy weight for her height. Closer to being underweight than overweight in fact, using BMI. Its not healthy for people that young to obsess about their weight though. Its always good to encourage exercise, but not to put her on a diet or anything.

= ]	not really. she is tall for her age. no biggy.

it's_love	it could just be muscle...we can't see her frame..so look at her! does she look overweight? does she have excess fat all over her body? the stomach isn't that big of a deal..it can disappear with exercise. just take her to a doctor if u are seriously concerned.

SarahB44	http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/bmicalculator.html Here's something that should help you out. And if it turns out that she is indeed a little overweight, she is only 11 so be careful. Telling someone that age that they're overweight can scar them for life.. and dieting that age is dangerous. Good luck! :)

Let_it_go	mmmm... just a little.... my sis is eleven, easily 5 ft tall, and around 85 pounds...... so just talk to her, make sure she does not go back for seconds, and get her out to excersize doing fun stuff. So she will WANT to excersize, other than that, she will get self concious about it when she gets a lil older, and that will help her too.

Elizabeth S	I wouldn't think so if she is five foot tall!

Aleesh	Once a female reaches 5 feet, she should weigh 100 pounds (I believe the range is +/- 5 pounds); then for each subsequent inch, she should weigh an additional 5 pounds (+/- 5 pounds). So, to answer your question, no your sister is not overweight.

littlemissmay	its for her doctor to decide not people on here who havent seen her or know what diet she is on

mansionghost	ther must be doctors charts to say for sure

coleman k	no she isnt not for how tall she is

outskip	no i think the healthy weight for being five ft. tall is 105lbs.so id say shes fine.

hmmm... ^.^	dont worry about it. im 12 and weigh 92 but some of my friends are in the 120's, they arent overwheight though. my opinion is that shes not overweight.

Spy Girl	No, she's not.

Professor Cuddles III	I just checked a Body Mass Indez calculator. (Actually, I checked a couple, just to be sure) and they all said that she has a healthy weight.

Cindy	These people who are saying your sister is overweight are the reasons we have ANOREXIA and BULEMIA. Your sister is no where near overweight at 5 feet and 102 pounds. You should weigh 100 lbs for the first 60 inches (or 5 feet), and 5 lbs for every inch after that...at 5 feet tall and 102 lbs, your sister is absolutely perfect. It doesn't matter that she's tall for her age...being five feet tall and 11 doesn't make you FAT... I was 5'6" at 12 years old, weighed 130 lbs....and was FAR FROM FAT.

Lindsey#82CNRBCK	no she's not overweight i weigh 115lbs, 5'2 13 years old

midnitrondavu	Average weight for 5'1" is 130---NO.

LDB449	No, just relax about the weight, she is ok the way she is.

Lala	NOO definately not... but u should be asking her doctor this..

ginger_dame	5 feet, 102 lbs --- sounds perfect. :) Her age doesn't matter. Only her frame and height does!
