Question: Am I overweight for a twelve year old girl?
I am 135 pounds and am 5''3. I was just wondering if i was so i could work on it. Thank you!

Answers:

You are not "optimal", but you are not "obese" either. You are a little overweight, but at 12 yrs old you are still growing. You could be eating too much "healthy". Just remember that there is such thing as too much of a good thing. Keep staying active like ur doing and don't get caught up into dieting. Portion control is key. And FYI.... muscle and fat weigh the same!!

Don't let people tell u ur overweight. If u feel comfortable with ur body than that's great! If not, exercise and watch your calorie intake. But at twelve ur still growing so you will slim down soon. Hope I helped(:



Well for ur small size u should be like 10 pnds less I think...or around there.ur jst a bit overweight..but then again it depends if ur athletic it could jst be muscle weight



No. You're pretty close to optimal.

I am the same. People like us will look great when we are grown up. Your fine!!!
