Is she fat, overweight or normal?!


Question: Okay, so my friend is 13 years old, size 10 jeans, around 150 pounds and plays 2 sports. She thinks she's fat. I'm not sure what to think, considering I'm older than her. What do you think honestly? She doesn't know if she wants to see the results of this question yet, so she probably won't even know what you say, but I will. She really wants to know. In most places, she wears size Large or XL in tops. Considering how small people make clothes these days, I think that's acceptable. Tell me your HONEST opinion. She fits at Abercrombie and Fitch and HCO and all those places in L and XL, so tell me the truth. Once again, she's 13 and 14 on April 20th. Thanks so much! Tell the truth, we can handle it!

I think she sounds muscular.

And just because she's heavier and wears a bigger size than other girls her age, it doesn't make her automatically fat or overweight.
I agree! Some people are just built different. Don't let anyone put her down because of that. And anyway, muscle weighs more than fat. Report It

    • Have to know how tall she is to tell.
    This seems suspicious...are you sure you're not asking about yourself? Its kindof creepy if you know someone too much..
    Honestly at that age I wore a 9, and I thought I was fat. But now I realize that if you buy your clothes from cheap stores the size is smaller. The more money you pay, the larger the clothes but smaller the size number. I don't think a size number means anything, but if she's very athletic her muscle weighs more than her fat and she's probably just fine.
    If she weighs 150 and is 5'5 then she might be a little chunky..
    here is what i looked up on the internt:
    5'5"
    Small frame:117-130
    Medium frame:127-141
    Large frame: 137-155
    she is in the large frame. maybe you should be her exercise buddy and take walks and go on a diet together even if ur thin..everyone needs exercise so they won't be obese in the older years of thei lives
    She seems a bit overwight.
    lol your explaing yourself
    its ok just say it not try to hide it
    well 150 at 5'5 i would say is kinda fatt
    im 145 5'8 as a guy
    Normal. I wish I wore a size10.
    they actually make clothes much larger than they were 10 years ago. A 5 now is what used to be a 7 or an 8 10 years ago.
    150 is a bit on the upper end of the spectrum, but it really depends on how muscular she is. I have a friend who is a swimming coach and aqua aerobics instructor. She doesn't have an ounce of fat on her body, looks very slim, but if you just consider her weight, her BMI says that she's overweight. Most swimmers, gymnasts, and athletes in general weigh a lot because muscle is much heavier than fat.
    I also have a friend who's 130, 5'3", and she looks kind of pudgy because she never works out.
    It really depends on the body type and on her activity level.
    Does your friend actively play sports or just shows up for practice? There's a big difference between being on a team and actually getting a good work out.
    In my opinion, L or XL is large for a 13-y/o.
    Since she's so young, I don't think she's fat, but she should eat healthy and work out to ensure that she doesn't get fat.
    shes morbidly obese if she wears size 10. at 13 depending on height she should weigh 80-100 pounds at most
