Is 9 and half stone overweight for a 12 year old?

Answer 1

It depends on how tall this twelve year old is.

Most likely they are a little overweight, as I doubt a twelve year old could be very tall at all - but not morbidly obese. I think if you tackle the problem now and give them a healthy and fit lifestyle at a young age, they'll cope with it and live healthily. I suggest losing some weight.

Cut down on the junk food - it doesn't mean eat less - just cut out the chocolate, burgers, chips and fizzy drinks and stick with green vegetables, tofu, lean meat, plenty of fruit and lots of water. Don't over-eat at a meal, and watch what you put in your mouth.

Good luck!
