Youtube's videos for Here Comes Honey Boo Boo seems to be full of parrots in the comments, seems about 100 people all gotta ask 'OMG the 17 year old is pregnant? Where's the dad? The parents aren't married?' etc., but one that everybody goes on about is how it is wrong for Alanna to weigh 69 pounds at basically 7 years old, and all of them saying 'I weighed 70 pounds when I was 11'.

Now when I was a kid, that weight for a 7 year old wouldn't strike me as odd because I had it figured that as a growing child you DID put on about 10 pounds a year. And when the daytime talk shows would do the 'you're overfeeding your baby' episodes they would look at a 70 pound 4 year old and say 'she's the weight of a 7 year old' and a 90 pound 3 year old and say 'she's the size of a 9-10 year old'.

But to think about it NOW, I can't figure out what all these people seem to be bragging about, like 70 pounds is NORMAL at 11? Hell, if I had weighed that much at that age, I would be dead, that would've been 50 pounds off of me and I was NOT a fat kid, I was probably one size larger than normal. How about everyone else? Do you remember how much you weighed when you were 11 years old?

I probably weighed about eighty-five pounds at that age.

I have no idea.

I was never fat, actually mostly on the thin side.

Probably around 120 lbs.

Don't know we really never weighed ourselves much I was always slender.

I was a big boy. I weighed about 140-150 lbs. at that age.

I wasn't the skinniest and I wasn't the fattest.

No clue

I was around 110-120. i remember my mom had me in weight watchers... but at 11yrs old i was already a 36C... in pictures it is pretty obvious that im top heavy

I can't even remember when I made the transition from training bras to an actual size because they were all built the same. Though by 12 I know I was definitely a C then, and I hated it. Though that reminds me, I read that during the first 3 years of puberty, girls put on 30 pounds as the breasts and hips fill in, so that could explain a large part of it. Even so if that hadn't been any part of it, to be 70 pounds at 11 would still take 30 pounds off of me and that would either kill me or come damn close.
