How much should a 5'1 12-year-old weigh?
Hey there :)First off, to get straight to your question, monitoring his/her BMI (Body Mass Index) is the best way to tell whether he/she’s body weight is healthy or not. According to CDC ( The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) growth charts, the average 12 year old with that weight should weigh between 66 and 130 pounds.But 12 years is still very young just make sure he/she stays active and you won’t have any problems.Good LuckWillie van Zyl
What is the average weight for a 12 year old?
At 5 feet 100 lbs, for every inch after that females get 5 lbs, males get 8 lbs.Look n the mirror naked, any fat areas, old saying “can u pinch an inch”? At 14 u r still growing, eat healthy, get out & walk a mile or 2 or more every day, cycle, hike, run, swim, just do something active & fun for U. Greatly limit anything with flour or sugar n it, literally try to completely avoid these. B careful with starch like potatoes, rice, pasta; one small serving or 2 no more than once a month. Choose fruits for ur carbs, eat lots & lots of veggies especially green ones, (like 8 cups a day of low carb veggies, not corn, carrots which r okay n small portions once n awhile). I hope this helps u. I wish I'd known at 14 what I know today. It's relatively easy & fun to get & stay healthy by eating right; but, the hard part is the easy access to fast good yumminess garbage! I wish u the best. Ur at a perfect age to set ur course to b & stay healthy! It's much easier to stay healthy than it is to get unhealthy, say with getting overweight & then try to get at a healthy wt & attempt to stay that way. Set ur course with wisdom
Average weight for a 12 year old?
Hello. Hope you are fine. It is Normal! Q. What is a normal weight for a child or teenager of a certain height and age? A. Ultimately a healthy weight to height ratio depends on many factors. It is not as simple as following into the appropriate range in the chart below. What is an appropriate weight will be based on your age, height, build, and percentage of body fat. A highly physical teen boy with great muscle tone could easily look overweight based on the standard average height and weight chart. This is due largely to the fact that muscle cells weigh more than fat cells. Due to this, a more common measure of average healthy bodies is based on a formula known as the Body Mass Index or BMI. This index is a number calculated from your weight and height – weight divided by your height squared. For an easy to use BMI calculator and evaluation, Another important consideration is growth rate. This is unique to children and teens, as their BMI, average height and weight will flux as bodies are developing. One of the many reasons adult averages should never be used to evaluate teenagers. Ultimately, the best evaluation is the one performed by a pediatrician. At each physical exam, height and weight should be measured, tracking progress on an individualized chart. This general health screen is recommended every two years for teenagers, aged 11 to 24 years. Average Calculations for Boys: Age. -------- Height. --------- Weight 12-13 years --------- 58 – 62 inches --------- 85 – 100 lbs Average Calculations for Girls: Age. ----------- Height. ---------- Weight 12-13 years --------- 60 – 63 inches ---------- 95 – 105 lbs Hope this helps you! Thank you.
How much should a 5'5" 12 year old weigh?
“Shyla” makes some go points, but I do know how much I'm supposed to weigh. I looked it up. Pretty simple, really. Just do a search, or go to the CDC website.However, like you, I don’t know how much you are supposed to weigh. I'm just a bit too lazy to look it up. Sure, knowing things like this can be helpful in answering your question, but to be honest, I thought. I could just make up stuff and bluff my way through this.Let's say every 13 year old girl that 5′5″ is so different that it makes what she “should” weigh impossible to tell. Not really, but let's say that for the sake of discussion. Or, maybe to make you feel better, if you are fat.Your BMI, when compared to other girls your age, can say that you are overweight, obese, normal, or even, underweight. Sadly, it can say you are a “normal” weight, but still carrying an unhealthy amount of body fat for your build.Take, for example, a grown man, say a middle-aged bodybuilder using virtually every performance enhancing drug known to man who is so big and muscular he looks like a freak. Some of the most absurdly large bodybuilders can be closing in on the 300 pound mark, which sounds obese, but when you look at how little body fat they have, you will agree, these guys are not fat, just high.Now while this guys appear super strong, a surprisingly large number of them have died fairly young from things like heart disease. Not saying the steroids did it, but suggest you not use them.Simply saying, for whatever reason you weigh a lot, if you do, consider your doctor's advice to get down to like, something in the healthy weight range. Or up, if that he would be “healthier” then where you're at.
What is the average weight for a 12-year-old 5-ft girl?
The body mass index (BMI) of a 12 yr-old should lie between 14.8 and 21.7. Below 14.8, it is considered underweight and above 21.7 is considered overweight.If the BMI is to stay withing the ideal weight limit, the 12 year old 5-ft girl should weigh between 76 lbs to 110 lbs.I would also like to add that since the person in context is quite young, it is normal to stay close to the overweight limit. As the girl grows old, the BMI range for the ideal weight will continue to rise until it gets stable. For example, a 17 year old should have a BMI between 16 and 24 while BMI of an 18 year old should lie between 18.2 to 25.5.The commonly accepted BMI normal weight range for an adult is 18.5 to 25.
What is the average weight for a 5"4 12 year old girl?
There is no typical healthy weight for anyone at any height because there are so many factors. Bone density, muscle distribution, age, etc.,The more muscle someone has the more they will 'weigh' but will look smaller. I'm 5'-7" and weigh 165 but with a lot of muscle so most people think I weigh 15–20 lbs less than I do, but a weight chart would put me at overweight for my height and I'm not.I have to say that you are very, very young and your body is still developing. As a women who was once a 12 year old girl I know how hard it is to not be obsessed with the scale with all the images in the media showing us what we (as women) should look like. It's even harder for you kids now with social media so the pressure is heightened to look a certain way.I wasted so much of my life worrying about my weight and how I looked in comparison to others, and most of the time it made me feel miserable and less than everyone else. It's not worth it. Learn to love yourself now. Eat well balanced meals, be active somehow daily, get and get a good nights sleep. Find something you like about yourself everyday!The scale is the most useless piece of equipment to measure if you're healthy or not.
Whats The Average Weight For A 12 Year Old? ?
You can tell you ideal weight by online calculators: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.ht... The other "ideal" weight (the one that most people consider to be the perfect thin) is 10 kg under height. If you're interested in staying healthy then you shouldn't go only by your weight. It's not as accurate as you think. The number shown on the scale is the sum of all your body organs, muscles, fat etc. So you might have an ideal weight for your age, but most of it may come from body fat (which is not exactly healthy...) or it could come from muscles. So the best thing would be to have some blood tests and see clearly how much body fat % and muscle % you have to see if you need to lose fat, gain or maintain. But if you don't have problems with your weight I don't suggest going through all this. If you have a digital scale that shows those %, then you could save the time and pain from doing blood tests.

Average weight for 12 year old girls?
It depends on her bones. If she has big bones and a lot of muscle then she is probably fine. Just encourage her to eat HEALTHY - lots of veggies, fruit, and whole grains (brown). Lots of water. Make sure she gets daily exercise and she will always be the perfect weight. :-)
What's the normal weight for a 160cm 12 year old?
Health professionals typically go by the system of comparison to your peers -> the CDC Growth Charts. Interestingly the charts for girls and boys are very similar, so let’s ignore your gender. The height and weight for girls are just negligibly higher.With your height of 160 cm, you are in about 95%. That means only 5% of the whole US population of 12-year-old are taller than you. For the same group the weight is up to 58 kg. That represents about 22.7 BMI. The recommended BMI range for your age is about 15 to 22. Based on that, your weight of about 38 kg would also be considered normal.Conclusion: With a little rounding, your “normal” weight range is between 40 to 60 kg.Disclaimer: I’m not a health professional, so please take it with a grain of salt.
