Body Weight - What's Normal? / Question
Published: February 13, 2003
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I understand that there is a specific height and weight chart that is used to find the average weight of a person who is a certain age and height-besides asking my doctor where can I find this chart

Dear Weight Chart,
This is one of the most common questions that TeenHealthFX receives, so you are not alone in you curiosity. The difficult part is that as a teen there is no accurate calculation of what you are suppose to weigh because your body is growing and maturing everyday. A good weight for your body is what is right for you to be healthy and active. TeenHealthFX has posted Appropriate Height and Weight and in it you will find a chart that will help you figure out what an average weight is good for you based on your body mass index. This helps to account for you body's build, height and age. TeenHealthFX encourages you to try not to concentrate on weight, but rather on trying to establish a healthy lifestyle that will allow your to maintain a healthy weight, perfect for your own body.
