My child is 5,4 and weighs 150 pounds my docter says he is overweight but is muscular too. he does have a lot of belly fat though. I really am worried he does not play outside and eats alot any comments plese
Reply from David, Child's Age 12 - 11/04/07 - IP#: 68.167.191.xxx If your child is muscular she may not be as overwieght as you think. BMI does not take into account muscle mass. Muscle is heavier than fat. A higher weight may be permissable.

Reply from Lola, Child's Age 16 - 02/20/06 - IP#: 24.5.166.xxx Joe, I thought Nicole seemed pretty nice. But if you read the comment, it was obvious a parent was writing it.
Reply from joe, Child's Age 14 - 02/15/06 - IP#: 66.8.202.xxx Gee, Nicole, sorry! I didn't notice that Mary said her son is 12. I get confused by the kids like you who post on the parents board--sometimes you say "i'm 12" and other times, you don't. Maybe this site should have a seperate board for parents who want advice from kids.
