Is it bad that a 5'4 15 year old girl ways 200 pounds and why?

Answer 1

People come in all sizes, so it is not "bad" to be your size. However, it does shows that you definitely eat more calories then you burn and you are not keeping average weight for your height So, it is really up to you what you will do about it and if you want to stay healthy and not to gain more weight in the future.

I looked up calculations and based upon your current Body Mass Index (BMI) of 34.3, you are currently classed as overweight.

A healthy BMI for your gender and age is between 16.6 and 23.5 and a reasonable weight loss rate is 0.5-2 pounds a week.

I have a long years of experience and have to tell you that DIETS DON'T WORK but only set you up to lose and gain more every single time.

The best way to deal with it is to learn as much as possible about nutrition and how many calories is in different foods. By knowing that, you can eat well and healthy, not be hungry at the same time and most of all lose only fat and not muscle. It is also important for health of your skin, hair and nails. I would suggest you spent good time reading and learning http:/caloriecount.about.com and try to follow program balancing nutrients and calories to get yourself into good shape. Notice that if you enter everything you eat (get small scale), you should be achieving not only certain number of calories, but also grading A. There is lot to learn and it is very interesting and helpful. Make it one of your hobbies.
