I think. Yes.I'm 48 inches and I'm 71 pounds and people always think I'm too skinny! SO she must be.. So. SO. Skinny. she's 47 pounds?! Wow.
According to BMI calculators she is definitely underweight. Although you have to remember that she is still young, and that her body has not developed. At that age children are still growing taller, and they're weight doesn't always catch up right away.Is she eating correctly? It's SO important for children to be eating correctly because of all the growing that they do. If she has not gone through a growth spurt, or if she doesn't start to gain weight, I would take her to your family doctor and ask him to check her out to make sure everything is alright.
On an average for girls upto 7 and a half years of age , a height ranging between43 to 49 inches a weight from 43 to 57 pounds is OK. So your your younger sister is quite OK
One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to
