IS MY SISTER FAT? SHE IS ALMOST 11 YEARS OLD?

Question

she weighs 129.3 pounds measures about 5'0 feet tall and she is 11 years old

Answer 1

She might have a thyroid problem that is what Oprah Winfrey discovered last year after dieting & exercising & having her weight go up & down for years....Or she could possible get older & lose the weight. Just love her as she is & make sure you eat a healthy well balanced diet to be a good example for her.  

Answer 2

no it depends does she look fat? Does her stomach stink out really far and she looks really bad or does she look really skinny but most is bone mass? As long as she doesn't look it she isn't...

Answer 3

hahahahahaha sorry. most girls will loose that weight and grow taller/slim out around 8th grade or freshman year ish

Answer 4

no. not for her height. She could loose weight but she is not fat.  

Answer 5

I wouldn't says he is fat.She may be slightly over weight but she isn't fat I was about 10 pounds more then her as well as a couple inches taller when I was fourteen and people said I was to skinny.So she will most likely thin out but she can't be lazy she has to stay at least somewhat active.

Answer 6

don't call her fat, but she is overweight.

not by TOO much, but she is.

if you really do care a lot, just help her work out.

there's no drastic measures needed to be taken though.

im sure she's fine.

Answer 7

i wouldn't say fat but, kinda over weight sounds about right.

(sorry)

Answer 8

shes a little chunky but dont make a big deal out of it cause after she hits puberty chances are the curves will go in the right spots..

as long as shes healthy thats all that matters...

Answer 9

hi ummm sorry but yeah...her bmi is 26.1, which is considered obese for her age group, and in the 80th percentile of weight. i mean there are always exceptions...like if she has lots of muscle she could be perfectly healthy but if not, she needs to lose weight for her own health...sorry again!

Answer 10

yeah she is overweight try to get her to a healthier weight

answers are apreciated http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 11

She is a bit overweight. Yes, but it depends on if she is involved in sports or not because muscle weighs more than fat.

Don't listen to the guy above me, he doesn't need to see her pic.

Answer 12

Well the best thing would be to measure her BMI (mass / weight squared)  and check out an obesity-related site to see how badly overweight she is, eg whether she is in some sort of danger level, and then act on it quickly before she gets some dreadful disease.

Answer 13

no, leave her alone. when puberty hits she will shoot up and thin out. you dont need to give her self image problems. girls this age are prone to eating disorders.

Answer 14

yeah she is. you two should walk everyday. like hey lil sis lets go get some icecream and walk there and back. or wlak ot the park and run around

Answer 15

It depends from girl to girl. Just because she ways a lot doesn't mean she's fat

Answer 16

umm yes she is, sorry, but if she exercises alot and eat healthy she will be fine :)

Answer 20

Quit picking on your sister she still has 6 years of growth in front of her.  I was 110 at 5 foot at 10 and when I grew that extra 2 inches I only gained 5 lbs.. so leave her alone she doesn't have to worry about those kind of things until she is 18 years old!

Answer 21

Chubby, but that is an age where girls often put on weight before they are going to grow. She should just watch her food intake and try a sport. As long as she doesn't use food as comfort, she will grow out of it.

My best friend was like that when we were young, then she grew 6 inches and now is super hot!

Answer 22

she is tall. She is heavy.  She may not be fat, only u can tell by the flabs... if any.  Advise her in a nice way to do smaller portion size..

Answer 23

She weighs 20 pounds more than me and I am 14. Yes.

Answer 24

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

ya

Answer 25

no she is not fat but its possible for her to loose weight

Answer 26

i am 5' 4" and i am 102 pounds. my doctor says i'm under weight for my build. in my opinion your sister is a tiny bit over weight.

Answer 27

i wouldn't say fat but, she's healthy at that age, as she is young now she will eventually thin out, she's tall to be 11 so she seems normal. be nice to your sister..you calling her fat may lower her self esteem and may cause illness to her mental health, like bulimia and anorexia

Answer 28

My sons Dr said the he is in the Obese category, and he is 5'1" and 118lbs, 10years old. So tell her to be patient, and finish growing before she starts worrying about it.

Answer 29

if she keeps eating the same food that make her fat then yes, but if she is watching out now no

Answer 30

I'm 5'2 and I supposed to weigh 120 pound so I guess shes about 10 or 15 pound over weight, I'm 12 though, if that makes a difference.

Answer 31

Well, IDK because there was a 3rd grader who was 110...ur sis is taller than most 11 yr olds so maybe that weight fits her!
