Is 12 stone or 76 kg fat for a 13 year old girl?

Answer 1

its a perfect combo.. if yo know what i mean... am 13 and i have about 12 and about 5,3 .

i asked a consultand about it and they said i could do with loosing a wee bot of weight but apart from that i was fit and healthy :)

Answer 2

In my professional experience as a physical educator, unless the girl also happened to have grown to a height of over 5'9", by that age, Yes; it would certainly be 'overweight' if less than that height.

Optimum Weight measurements are relative to height/overall muscular mass and body size/type, etc.

A girl of 5'10" or 6 feet, for instance, who was well built and on a good program could quite easily be that weight and look very good - some would be even very shapely and fit indeed.

It's not the weight you should be at your age, but it's not the end of the world. All you have to do is plan a healthy diet plan: breakfast- porridge, Weetabix (only 2), Shreddys; lunch- I realise it would be hard as you go to school, but try taking salad in a box or a sandwich with light crisps and a Weight Watchers chocolate bar (for snacks only have fruit), and you should at least do 1 hour of exercises a day. You could go swimming, use wii fit (if you have one or just do a little jog or trampolining, anything like that, and because you're young it should just drop off). When your parents do dinner just ask for small portions; the fatter the food, the smaller portion, the healthier, the more you can have. But that still doesn't mean you can have allot of it.
You may think how can stupid me know what to do, but I'm 13 and I use to weigh 12 stone 6 pounds. I have lost 2 stone and 9 pounds, so now I weigh 9 and a half. I have never felt better: not afraid to go swimming and not afraid to go shopping with my mates, just in case they knew what size clothes I wear. Try it for a few months and you will feel so much better, and drink lots of water as water fills you up.
Try it and in about 3 to 4 weeks you should be about 9 stone and a half.
