Ht. 5'3, Wt. 133 - i was checkin the bmi for my younger sis and she asked me an interesting question how come a girl who's 5'3 and 11 can only go up to 121 lbs, but a girl who's 5'2 and 13 can go up to 127 lbs, i dont know why the weight differs so much i mean i could understand if it was 11 and 19, but it's 11 and 13 and there's such a small age diffrent

because between the ages of 11 and 13 your body has already undergone changes. You lose baby fat and gain muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. You start getting hips and breasts. Your body is just all around changing.

i know that but i'm wondering why if the same people were the sam height and weight, how one can be overweight and one cant, i know it's because of age and what if the age diffrenceis as little as 11 and 13 i could understan 11 and 19 but 11 and 13 whay does the weight have to differ that much

well, youre height has to do with it really. being 114lbs and being 5'10' it extremely skinny..but if you were 114 and like 4'11 that'd be actually a-okay.
it just has to deal with height and age. and taht's only a 6 pound difference.
