A member asked:
My daughter is eleven years old and is around 5"6 and weighs 147 lbs, is she overweight?

Mildly using bmi: A bmi scale would have her as an 11 yo female in the 95%, putting her at mildly overweight. (not obese). The bmi does not account for body type, for example large frame, big boned, etc. You can google the bmi in children and see where she should be. Best wishes.
