Question
I am 13 and 5"4 which is very tall for my age and I weigh 118 pounds. I have had
people call me fat and skinny in the same day. I was just wondering if you could
tell me if I was over weight. Should I go on a diet? Please help!
Jesse,
You are in your healthy normal weight range. See this site for further details: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
To be overweight at your height, the weight is 150 pounds. So please do not worry, you are at a perfect weight! Good luck,
Lea

I can help people who want to eat CARBS and still lose weight. A balanced approach to weight loss (all food groups). Also I can recommend calorie levels for weight loss based on weight, height, age and gender. I am also hear to remind you WAIT to get on that scale, the weight loss doesn't always show up after 3 days. Stick with it!
