Is my daughter overweight? -

hi, my ten year old daughter weight s 40kg (91 pounds) and she is 136cm tall (4 feet 5) is she overweightif she is can you tell me what weight she should be and recommend any weight loss program s for children

no major wieght loss programs, there is still a big chance that this is baby fat, overall change your families diet to be healthier and to eat more fruits and veggies (its not fair for her to just have to be on a diet so the whole family will have to do this one) and make sure she gets regular exercise...my recommendation is that you work out with her and you both set goals to be healthier, with proper diet and exercise the pounds will melt offand trust me, all of this will go easier for her if you join in with her! you have no idea what the difference is when you do this stuff with your kid...

first off she is not overweight i checked her bmi is 22.8 and anything between 18.5-24.9 is healthy, but anyways a few pounds wont killl your daughtter if she loses them so here is what you can do and dont push her soo much go easy on her shes onl 10. second of all ur lucky you are the one that controlls the food in the house just dont buy lots of junk and play with her get her involved in a sport or something it will also help in the future and make her have fun while excercisng wat i do with my bro (he is 9) is have a jumping rope contest we see who does more for ex i do 30 then he tries to beat me and when he does i say i can do more and it goes on but they might not fall for that so wat else you can do is have her play tag with her friends and stuff, they are running while doing that they wont even notice anything different most likely. also the food make healthier choices instead of snacking her on chips, poptarts and choclate, give them popcorn (not the kind with tons or butter) or pretzels, or fruits or fruit snacks theyre good way and healthier, but give her a treat like once every week, and buy-make them a healthier meal make them like fish or chicken and boil it and grill it do not fry with oil it wont help and u get hte point make them like veggies from when they are young and dont stress that much about her she is young and theyll grow out of her weight when she grows a little more but u can help them by doing some of the stuff i suggested if ud like. good luck hope this helped

it can be the baby fat let a couple years pass and then see how much she weights and grows. there are also some sites that lets you see their bmi just google it and it ll tell you if she is underweight nrmal or obese.for now try to feed her healthy lots of veggies and cut the sugar.

make sure you check her BMI rate, this will give a pretty clear idea to see if she is overweight or not, the best would be to visit a registered dietician to see if she needs any corrections in here daily food intake

Children (especially girls) usually go through a cycle where they put on weight and then grow taller. This could be the case.
