Does my friend have a weight problem?!


Question: Does my friend have a weight problem!?
She is 16, 5'2 1/2 and weighs 140!.

Is that too much!? She does not look over weight but she tells me she feels like itWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Her BMI is about 25!.2

Underweight = 18!.5 and under
Average = 18!.5 - 24!.9
Overweight = 25 - 29!.9
Obese = 30 or greater

So basicly she is on the line of average and overweight, but seeing as she is still quite young she shouldn't worry about it :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

If she doesn't look it then she most likely isn't!. This is just an observation, but it really sounds like you are judging her!. Most people are conscious of their body, even if they don't need to be!. Don't be concerned for her!. Also, if she is muscular, she will weigh more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

definately not!. that is a perfectly healthy weight!. i heard somewhere that weight should not be measured in pounds but by health!. if she is active and eats right, most of the weight is probably muscle!. muscle weighs more than fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think she isn't over weight but usually a healthy weight is 135 but I think her weight is alrightWww@Answer-Health@Com

just have her stop eating such bad foods like mcdonalds!.!.she can enjoy, but exercise tooWww@Answer-Health@Com
