you also have to take her body frame (is she large boned or not - an easy way to gauge is by looking at her wrists and how thick or thin they look). also, if she's really active, she may be very muscular. muscle weighs a lot more. my cousin is the same height and weight as me, but she's smaller since she's so muscular and surfs all the time.
My cousin's wrists are very small. I could touch my two fingers around and touch the tips (you know, when you take your thump and index finger and wrap them around my cousins wrist and I could touch the tips). So my cousins wrists are very thin and small.
ok, then she's probably small boned. still, she's within the healthy bmi range (barely). if she were large boned, i'd say it was positively nothing to worry about.
i still wouldn't worry too much as she may be about to have a growth spurt (a lot of girls that age get a little chunky before growing taller), or it may be mostly muscle (does she look overweight, or does she look athletic/well-toned?). just keep an eye on it, but as one of the previous commentors said, you don't want to give the poor girl an eating disorder.
if she gains 20lbs or something (without growing any taller) i'd talk to her about it then. for now, you can just try to influence her to eat better/more healthful foods by saying things like "this will give you more energy and help you be better at sports than that fast-food" or something along those lines.
Well, she does have a gut on her but in my opinion she doesn't look like she would weigh around 140 pounds. This morning she called me to tell me that she lost another pound, which makes her 138. But the weird thing is that she had this blizzard at dariy queen last night and she still lost weight.
Believe me, she has told me that she needs to lose weight and that this is not the right weight for her age. Riley has been eating better and has been excersisng (sorry for misspell) and is losing weight. But she have been eating right. She also told me that she can have one bad day but not load up on the fatty sugary foods.
Is it normal for my cousin to weight 140 pounds?
