Answers:
I would certainly not consider your sister fat, but on this page called "Childhood Obesity", you'll see some good tips that can help anyone lose a few pounds. In addition, at the bottom of the page, you'll find a BMI link specifically for children and another link that explains it. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

The LAST thing you need to be doing is discussing your sister's weight. Sixth graders are about 11 to 12 years old and that is a vulnerable age both physically and psychologically. Encourage her to eat fruits and veggies and cut back on the junk food and soda pops. DON'T tell her she is fat and don't agree with her if she says that she is. To do so will be reinforcing her belief and can help her to plunge into anorexia or bulimia. She is probably just going through puberty and there is nothing to worry about as long as she maintains her current weight. Her height will balance things out as she grows.Health Question & Answer

She loses weight like anyone else loses weight: by expending more calories than she consumes. She must increase her exercise but more importantly cut down on her caloric intake. She should cut way down on fast food meals and fat and sugar in general. She should eat controlled portions of healthy foods such as vegetables with low-cal dressing, fresh fruits, and whole grain bread. Maybe a few nuts. But as I say, basically weight loss is just eating fewer calories than you use during a day. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Suggesting that your sister needs to lose weight makes it appear that looks are everything. It is more important to be healthy than the waist size. A good thing for her to do would be to eat more fresh fruits and veggies. It will give her a great boost of energy as well. Instead of telling her what weight you think she should be, how about telling her how great she looks.Health Question & Answer
