A member asked:

For what reasons might a 13 year old girl working out, start becoming fatter!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eating more...: If she is gaining weight- she is eating more calories than her body is consuming in calories for metabolism and growth. It is also possible that her body is changing as she is entering puberty. So she may be gaining hips, developing breasts. If you are concerned have her see her doctor.
