    Using a body mass index calculator, your BMI is 27.1, placing you in the overweight category of 25 - 29.9. However, other factor such as muscle weight and bone structure should be taken into account.

    As long as you're healthy, it really doesn't matter what you weigh!

    To put it as nicely as possible, you are overweight but teetering on the line between overweight and obese. This can pose many, many health risks, especially considering you're only 13 years old. There is a bright side to this though-it is not as hard for someone your age to return to a healthy weight as it would be for an older person.

    Any doctor would probably recommend that you lose weight ASAP, but please do so the healthy way. Don't crash diet or look for a quick-fix because I am sure you are beautiful anyway and the main concern should be your internal health here. Begin moderate exercise, even if that means walking around your neighborhood after dinner or, if you can, jogging on the treadmill. Eat more fruits and veggies and less sweets and fried foods. Gradually you'll become accustomed to a healthier lifestyle and won't even want to eat fattening foods most of the time. Substitute brown rice and whole grain bread and pasta for the bleached alternatives, as those are simple carbs which leave you unsatisfied and craving more.

    Good luck!!!

    Hi You can calculate your BMI here

    http://www.coconutoil4health.co.uk/body-mass-index...

    A person’s body mass index is a number calculated based on their height and weight. It is used for a comparative analysis of people with similar heights. The body mass index is a brainchild of a Belgian statistician and mathematician named Adolphe Quatelet who created the BMI sometime from1830 to 1850. To calculate the BMI, divide the person’s weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared.

    what's the component of calling somebody fat? they're conscious they're fat so why deliver it up? i've got in no way heard of anybody getting made exciting of reason they smoke. in case you experience you will desire to insult somebody to "state the information", then you certainly are probable insecure with your self. And no, being obese isn't a call. dropping weight is harder for some human beings. merely sayin.
