she is 4"8 and weighs 110 pounds?!


Question: She is 4"8 and weighs 110 pounds?
my daughter is 4"8 and weighs 110.5 pounds she is always worried about her weight but i think she looks pretty normal she is pretty active and has lots of friends to play with so my question is is it normal to be 110.5 when you are that height? any other information would be great

Answers:

First, you'll want to calculate your daughter's BMI. There is a simple formula for this. You can do a google search for BMI calculator, but it's best to know the formula so you don't have to be reliant on a computer.

BMI (Body Mass Index) = (Weight In Pounds)/(Height In Inches x Height in Inches) x 703

So, for this case, you would calculate like so: (110.5/56*56) x 703 = 24.7.

A BMI between 25 and 30 is considered overweight. So, your daughter isn't really considered overweight at this point, but it wouldn't hurt to drop a few pounds as she is almost borderline right now. Still, I wouldn't say it's a problem. :)

Hope this helps!



It sounds about a few (2 or 3) pounds more then most. Pretty normal. But that's normal until she reaches about 5"3 or more. If she continues to gain weight, and not height then you have a problem



Yes, that weight is fine
