Is it overweight to be 7 stone at 12?

Answer 1

i am also 12 and weigh jus 12 stone .. i think i am fat in the belly but i can run fast for long peridos of time i want 2 lose weight any ideas not involving the meals my mum makes

Yeah, I'm 14 and I am nearly 12 stone. To be honest, it really depends if you're overweight by your height. I am 5 foot 6, and 11 stone, and I think I'm overweight, but people think I am slim because I'm tall, but they don't know my weight. Erm, I think you could do with losing a bit of weight. I'm not calling you fat or anything, you sound quite healthy if you can run for long periods of time. Don't worry if you think you're fat, because most of it is puppy fat and when you go through puberty you will get a more womenly shape, and start developing properly. I thought I was fat when I was 12 but now I'm starting to get hips. Just don't worry about it, you will keep growing and you will start getting taller and slimmer, but just be careful of what you eat aswell, and remember to exercise alot. BONUS, lads find womenly girls attractive, rather than really skinny girls, boys like girls with shape. Eat well, and move more. :)

Answer 2

It all depends on your Body Fat Percentage. But to me, i don't think so. I'm 14 and weigh 10 stone 10 pounds. I don't think yure fat. :)

Hi, i am 13 and i weigh about the same as you, if you are really worried then have a look at a height/weight chart so you can see what some one your wight should be because weight doesn't corrispond with age. xx hope it helped :)

It depends on how tall you are: Take a look at http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/magazine/interactive/bmi/index.aspx and enter in your age height and weight. If your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 you're an healthy weight.

BMI stands for Body Mass Indicator, it calculates how much of your body is fat acctually consumed from food.

Answer 4

Seven and a half stone equals approximately 100 pounds. At the age of 12, everybody grows differently, and what may be overweight for one person is just right for the next.

Answer 5

No it is not overweight you need it to help you grow.

Answer 6

Seven and a half stone or 105lbs is not fat, depending how tall you are. If you are four feet tall, possibly but if you are five feet six then definitely not.

Answer 7

I'm 15 5'7 and 164lbs (11,13) It depends on your hight if your 5'11 or higher your fine if bellow your just a bit overweight

Answer 8

7 stone in pounds is 98 lbs so... at 12? It depends on your height. Assuming you are 5 feet and 1 inch (going by a Body Mass Index Calculator) you are NOT overweight.

Answer 9

No, definitely not.
