Dad..... and Me

Hi. I'm wondering if my Dad should diet for disney. I think he weighs around 169 pounds. He just has thus belly elly, well not that big. I just think his belly is so funny! lol


What's the normal weight for a soon-to-be 13 year old. I don't want to diet, it's that I think I'm a bit overweight, just to cut on the snacks.

I think your dad is probably ok. If you are worried about yourself, ask your mom to make an appointment with your doc. He/She can tell you if you need to lose and the best way to do so. At your age, weight varies so much depending on sex, height, maturity there is no way to tell what is normal without asking a doc. You can even ask your parent to wait outside if you want to have alone time with the doctor as well if you are worried about your parents' reaction to some questions.

That's a great idea....thanks!


Well, I'm going to be 13 years on May 25
My height is 5'5
I weigh 113

I'm comparing it with my sister.

My sister is 18yrs. old
her height is around 5'7-5'8
Her weight is 116


I gained 5 punds in one year!


How can my sister weight just a bit over me??????

You are definitely NOT NOT NOT overweight. 5'5" and 115 is VERY thin! Don't you worry about your numbers a bit!

Now, true, you may be able to eat healthier...if you are eating junky foods you could replace those with healthier options, but don't worry about your weight a bit.

You definitely do not want to compare yourself to big sis. She is 18...and at 13, you are still growing and going through puberty, etc. She is already on the other side of that, so you really can't compare at all. Your body is going through all kinds of changes right now...just let it do its thing while you give it healthy fuel.
