Is 190 pounds overweight for a twelve year old girl?
Yes, I would say that 190 is overweight for a 12 year old girl. But, if you are happy with your self and are not insecure about it it's fine but be sure to work out daily and keep a healthy, maintained diet.

What type of discharge will you get for being discharged from the Army for being overweight?
Depends on the individuals Commander. In most cases an honorable discharge is given.
The core reason people become overweight or obese is fairly simple:
If you take in more calories than are required by your body on a daily basis (known as "energy imbalance"), those surplus calories will be converted into fat.
If this energy imbalance continues for an extended period of time, it will lead to overweight or obesity
Well to some people it could be.
But in general. no. obese is not a bad word at all.
It's better than calling someone 'fat'.
Because it's not as offending.

What are the advantages of being overweight?
I don't want to sound like an idiot or like I judge people (hey I'm 182 lbs!) but really I don't think being fat is any good. It just gives people reasons and ways to make fun of you. However in some people's eyes, overweight humans look attractive. anyways, that's my answer
It is very attractive, at least on boys.
dont listen to that hun... being overweight does not give people a reason to make fun of you.... its cruel... i know... people shoudnt judge looks... they should judge personality.. some people are very adorable... so dont worry about your weight at the moment... think of things like ur personality...
In my opinion, I wouldn't think obese... perhaps overweight slightly. 5 foot 7 is really quite tall for a 13 year old, so that needs to be taken into account. I would aim for about 10 stone. Don't get yourself down about it though, most people would agree that at 13, unless there is a real weight issue, you shouldn't meaure 'ideal' weight. You will probably find that you will grow a bit more and lose some more weight too in a couple of years. Now for the boring bit... make sure you eat the right foods and do some exercise!

How does McDonald's cause obesity?
MacDonald causes obesity because its hard to burn off a big mac meal it takes seven hours straight of walking
there is 40 percent pure fat in each Burger i need to go on
Death and/or illness and in most cases lack of mobility.
Metabolism and size of individual?
Metabolism is worked out using BMR. BMR stands for your basal metabolic rate. This is the amount of cals you burn doing nothing, just allowing your body to run.
The larger you are (weight or height) the higher your BMR will be.
The older you are the lower your BMR will be due to muscle loss year on year.
If you have a lot of muscle compared to fat your BMR will be higher.
Can obesity be considered a disability?
No it is not considered a disibility, atleast not that im aware of anyway! Yes and no (at least in Canada.) Just because you have diabetes doesn't mean you can't work, but, if you should have complications from diabetes (losing toes or a leg) then yes, you can claim on disibility if you can't go to work.
