Too Big?


Question
Hi! I'm 15, 5'9'' and weigh 196 pounds. Is this obese? Or am i just overweight? My BMI Is around 30, so that makes me a little hefty. When I saw my doctor in June I weighed 180 pounds and she told me I shouldn't gain anymore weight, but as you can see i have gained 16 pounds since then. I have to go back for a shot soon, and I don't know what she will tell me

Answer
Dear Emma, Technically a BMI of thirty is considered obese, but it's really up to your doctor to make that diagnosis. Some muscular people can have a high BMI, and not be obese. According to the height and weight charts, a better weight for you might be around 175 pounds. Hope that helps, Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
