What is the average height and weight of a 17-year-old girl?

[DiamondRuby]

I'm 5'6" and 143 lbs and measure 37-29-38 (inches). Am I average? Chubby?

Skinny

Average

Average "for an American"

Chubby

[Paritosh23]

Well you have a normal weight , your BMI appears to be good ;)
Also, 29 is good for waist
and 37 and 38 are really good for boobs and butts..
So you are perfect
Have fun ;)

[DiamondRuby]

Haha thanks ;)

[Paritosh23]

you are welcome, also dont you feel hot yourself when you see mirror ;) :P

[DiamondRuby]

Lol mkay

[HarpoMaXX]

You should have included curvy or thick ;) 5'6 and 143lbs is above average where I come from, but if it is put together the right way, could still be sexy u know?

[DiamondRuby]

Haha thanks? Hourglasses weigh more anyway, so there's probably not much I can do in that department

I'm 5'2" 105 pounds and 31-24-35. And I'm considered really small.
So you're probably average

[knotme]

what does your doctor way, because body composition plays a part in that and if you workout

[DiamondRuby]

Doctor said I was average, but I haven't been there in over a year

[knotme]

if your weight hasn't really fluctuated then you are average

[DiamondRuby]

Well, I've grown since the. Gotten taller, gotten curvier (but not really fatter, the fat went to my boobs and hips)

[knotme]

well there you go. :) how much taller?

[DiamondRuby]

Couple few inches.

[knotme]

still average

[DiamondRuby]

Good :D lol

I would say average for weight, height
measurements

[Anonymous]

Your measurements are definitely chubby. You have a big waist and hips. And considering your height, you should lose 20 lbs.

She has a BMI of 23, she doesn't need to lose any weight.

[Opinion Owner]

She may not be technically overweight but over 140 lbs. and 5'6 does NOT go together. I have a friend who is 5'6 and 130 lbs. she has undeniable extra fat and flab. Without a doubt, a person who is 140 lbs. and 5'6 is chubby and likely not in shape unless she is very muscular and athletic.

And a 29 inch waist is VERY big. I can't even imagine having a waist that big. I don't know how a person can honestly think a 29 inch waist is normal. Especially considering she is only a teenager. For a teenager she is definitely fat and should lose a few inches off of her waist for her health's sake, even if not technically so on the BMI scale.

[DiamondRuby]

Just thought I'd make sure you realize we're in inches here. 34 is the average waist size of a woman... So though there's a bit of extra chub, you make it sound like I have fat rolls and can't walk up stairs without assistance. That's bullshit. I have a bit I need to lose, but Jesus Christ, I'm not obese. There are no fat rolls here! Nada! And I have a pretty flat stomach. K bye.

You're aggressively average.
