Question My first question....

Well I've been curious, I guess that's not the word...concerned that my daughter is underweight. She's 14 years old and about 5 foot 3 inches, and weights about 89 pounds. So my first question is..Is she underweight? And if so by how much? I really need to know because if this comes out how I expect it will, I have a second question. Thanks in advance for the help.

-A Worried Mom-

Hi Kylee

Your daughter is definately underweight

I'm 5'4 & weigh 120 pds. Your daughter should at least at the very minimum weigh 110 pds. 115 pds is better. In her category 125 pds is max.

So, let us know what you want to know in your 2nd post. See you soon. Cat

Hi, Kaylee.

The others are right; your daughter is very underweight. I take it that you suspect that she may have an eating disorder, but we’ll wait until you ask your second question before we get into that!

Take care,
Ashlee
