Is 119 lbs too much weight for a 5'6" and a half 13 year old girl?

I know that I'm not obese, but do you think that I might weigh to much for my age/height? My goal is 110, but my parents say that would be very skinny for my height. I'm not worried about how I look, I'm just curious if I am healthy.

I'm your height and for years I was a minimum of 114 do not go lower than you are. You are closer to underweight than you are overweight. You are a good weight as long as you stay between that weight and 126lbs (that's the middle of healthy of your bmi). You have no need to lose any weight.

Not at all, if anything that's a little underweight. I'm only 5'3" and I weight 116 pounds and I feel like that's just about perfect. People tell me I'm too skinny at 110 pounds and I'm even shorter than you are. Being underweight isn't healthy so you shouldn't try to lose any weight.

Too much? In my opinion it might even be too little, but that depends on your frame, muscle mass and all that stuff. But you certainly don't need to lose any weight :)

No! When I was your age I was 120 pounds and 5"3 and nobody ever thought I was fat.

I think that height and weight are fine but I'm no doctor. If you're concerned about your health you can refer to online charts or for real accuracy, you could consult a doctor/school nurse.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You're not too heavy. You're just fine.

You sound very healthy to me. I was about the same thing when I was your age. I'm 17 and 5'8 and your weight now. So I would even worry about it. :)

That's skinny. & your health isn't strictly defined by a number.

You're perfectly normal. That's a really good weight for your height.
I was like 5'7" 112lbs at 13 and my doctor said it was normal.

119 for someone who's 5'6 is almost underweight. You're fine,

119 isn't even that much of a difference from 110. Keep in mind that even though your skinny doesn't mean you're pretty

No offense but a lot of girls tried losing weight and guys still never paid attention to them. No matter what face> body.

If you go to a pediatrician, ask them about it. 118 sounds healthy to me

Sounds perfectly healthy to me.
