It entirely depends on your build. We are all different.

It depends on a lot of things.  First of all, muscle weighs more than fat.  Secondly, bone dencity can effect wight a lot.  Not in the 'big boned' type of way though.  My mother was 88 pounds when she got married (no, she did not starve herself, shes just TINY).  She was about double my age right now when she got married, and I weigh more now than she did then.  I just happen to have denser bones, but you can't really tell from looking at us.  If you really think you're overweight I recomend a) TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR/PARENT/WHOEVER b) excersize at least 30 minutes at a time.  For reasonas about the time refer to a Biology class about ATP and energy production.  Also, eat slowly.  You'll feel fuller faster and you won't eat so much.  Avoid saturated fats and partialy hydrogonated oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I have a lot to say :)

Try checking your body FAT not body weight.  The men who ride in the Tour De France are usually about 145-175 pounds (sorry I don't know kilo!  85 pounds is 40 kilos though.... I think....)  but their body fat is only 2-3%.  You might weigh 175 pounds but have a body fat of 15 or 20% and you don't have a problem.

I'm 5ft 2 and according to weight watchers/slimming world etc I'm supposed to be between 8 and a half and 10 stone(quite a bit above that unfortunately!). I'm sure you'll agree that's quite a big scale so unless she's well above or below these weights don't worry too much.

i asked the same question a little while ago, i got alot ofv ery good advice but one of them was to go to the doctors if you are worried about it. it helps alot and it worked for me. they can tell you the weight that your spoed to be about. but rember your still growing and your body is going to change, im 14 and i really would strongly sugest going to the doctors is the best idea! hope this helps xx xx
