How much should an 11 year old weigh?!
Question: I was just wondering because I don't want to be unhealthy in any way. I am 4 foot 10 inches and weigh 78 pounds. Am I underweight,overweight,or normal? If you could please answer this question and tell me how to gain weight , lose weight, or maintain my weight depending on what I need to do.
Also please tell me how much I should weigh.
Thanks so much.

Hello! I calculated your Body Mass Index on a Child's BMI calculator. Here is what I got:
A child who is 78.0 pounds and 4 feet and 10 inches tall, has a body mass index of 16.3, which is at the 22.8th percentile and is considered to be a healthy weight.
You are definitely at a healthy weight and size. Continue going outside and exercising, eating healthy and staying positive. Don't be so concerned about your weight. You are NOT fat AT ALL! =]
when i was 11 i weighed 49 pounds but i was 4''2
sounds normal for your height and age
That weight sounds great for your height. Try not to think about it too much though, it will drive you crazy.
go to bmi and they'l let you know but no i don't think you are overweight at all!
PERFECT!! i swear that is about as normal as it can get dont worry about a thing! ur still growing too! and also u may be flabby from lack of excersising if you dont work out a whole lot. just eat healhty and excersise most days to maintain ur weight!! a little sweet every now and then is fine, too
good job!
check out this site: http://www.blubberbuster.com/height_weig...
it has a bmi calculator for kids and teens.
Here is what it said: 30 out of 100 kids of your age, your sexe and your height weigh less than you and 70 out of 100 kids weigh more than you. So your weight is just fine. You are only considered overweight when your weight is greater than 95 kids out of 100 and underweight if your weight is lower than that of 5 kids out of 100.
For kids the body mass index is all about percentiles, it compares you to other people your age and height. Ok?
