[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is 14 with bmi close to 24, just based on height and weight. The issue is she is not muscular so that bmi alone does not account for flabbiness. Health is most important to me, more than weight. If she was more active and no family history of diabetes, I would probably relax. But I agree with the advise to lay off actually, I don't want to press her and make her unhappy as she seems blissfully content with herself as she is[/quote] A BMI for an adult of 24 is normal weight. BMI for kids is measured on a different scale, and 24 doesn't make sense as a BMI for a 14 year old, so I suspect you are using the adult scale. So it doesn't sound like your daughter is overweight at all. [/quote]
