I am not quite sure what to do with my daughter. you kids are her age so maybe you can help. She is 13 and about 5 foot 6. And today she weighed herself and she weighs about 180. Last month she weighed 175. I guess she gained some weight. But is this a little or a lot overweight? I dont' want to say anything to her since i might be wrong. Or should i take her to the doctor? She doesn't like going to the doctor. She hates it. But i may be able to get her to go if it is something i should do. She does have a bit of a stomach. She has about a 38 inch waist and wears a size 16. Can someone please help me out?

Reply from Smiley, Age 15 - 07/05/02 - IP#: 202.182.64.xxx She does seem a little overweight, but remember her body will be developing about now. Just watch what she eats, and don't buy too many sweets. And make sure she exercises 30 min at least 4 times a week. Goodluck :)
