Go to the site listed below, click on the link for children and teens, enter the required information and it will tell exactly where she stands:\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/inde... \n\nPlease be aware that at 11, her weight is not written in stone.  Once she gets her period, she will start to slim down some.  In the meantime, she can cut out junk food and fast food in addition to drinking water instead of soda.  Those few changes will make a lot of difference.

I would seriously doubt you are overweight.  Maybe tall for your age but that won't last for long.

At 5'7" and 120 pounds your BMI calculates to 19.1. Depending on who you talk to you are either at the very bottom of the normal scale or just below. \n\nI am hoping you are a small boned lady and this is your ideal weight. Please don't try to lose any more.\n\nIt is great that you feel better about yourself. As for healthy I am not sure. Again it depends on you and your body. How do you feel, how is your energy and stamina?\n\nEven more important, how are you going to maintain your weight and still get the nutrition your body needs?

Unless that 290 pounds is all muscle, then that person is grossly obese. Typically, an adult male at this height should weigh between 150-170 whereas a female adult should be around 130-140.

Not at all!! You are fine...definitely not overweight.  I'm 5'5 and about 118lbs...you are normal, if not a little underweight!

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!

If you weigh 74 pounds and people are complaining that you look too fat, you must be like 36 inches tall.  People who have a genetic pre-disposition to dwarfism can also have a problem where their body still tries to weigh as much as a taller person.  I'm astounded that in 23 years you've never researched your condition or consulted a doctor.\n\nOr did you mean 74 kilos?  That could be an okay weight if you are quite tall and muscular.  Once you're an adult your age has nothing to do with a healthy weight.  It's all based on your height.

Yes I think that you are, I believe a normal weight for your height is about 120-125. You should gain a little weight.

weight? It depends on your height.\nDo this: \n(Weight in pounds)/\n((height in inches)x(height in inches))\nand multiply all that by 703.\nExample: I'm 5'2" (girl) and weigh 110 lbs. So I'd do (110/(62x62))x703= 20.1, ideal.\nIf you're a male:\n        * Underweight: less than 20 (<20)\n        * Ideal: greater than or equal to 20 but less than 25 (≥20 but <25)\n        * Overweight: greater than or equal to 25 but less than 30 (≥25 but <30)\n        * Obese: greater than or equal to 30 (≥30)\nIf you're a female:\n        * Underweight: less than 16 (<16)\n        * Ideal: greater than or equal to 16 but less than 25 (≥16 but <25)\n        * Overweight: greater than or equal to 25 but less than 30 (≥25 but <30)\n        * Obese: greater than or equal to 30 (≥30)

no she's not overweight. tell her that's her correct weight, so don't stress about it in-less she wants to be anorexic. my little sister has the same weight, and she's 12.

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'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.
