Is an 11 stone 12-year-old girl obese?

Answer 1

We would need more detail. Weight is related to height and body composition, rather than age. A 13-year-old who weighs 10 stone may or may not be overweight. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Alternatively, see the related question further down this page, listed under Related Questions. The British Food Standards Agency has a BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator on their website, given in "related links" below, which can help you with an idea of your ideal weight for your height.

Answer 2

• I weighed about seven and a half stone when I was ten and I needed to lose weight.

• You may be taller that the person who answered above, however, and 8 stone may not be overweight in relation to your height.

• When I was ten I was 7 stone. Now I am 12 and im 8 stone.

• There is no particular weight for a 10-year-old girl or boy. This is because weight is related to height andbody composition rather than age.

Answer 3

13 stone may or may not be overweight or obese for a 13-year-old. It is not possible to say without more information about the 13-year-old. There is no 'ideal' weight for a child (or a person of any age) because weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail.
