CHECK HER THYROID: The correct weight depends on height and bone structure, but 140 for an eleven year ols is a bit much. She needs to have her thyroid and other hormones evaluated by an endocrinologist and her diet should be carefully evaluated. If you are a bit heavy, i would suggest that you both seek dietary councelling. This is very important for you both!
