If you are 12 and you weigh 150 pounds does that make you fat?

Your personal ideal weight is based on many more factors than your age. Height is the most common, but there's much more to it than that. Bone structure, muscle mass, and over-all health are very important. The biggest thing is to find a weight you are comfortable with and can maintain. For most people, consistent dieting is more stressful than being a few pounds over their 'ideal weight'. Up and down weight is harder on your body. Remember this, too: Often, when you go off a diet, you will end up gaining more back than you lost, especially 'speed' diets. If you are uncomfortable with your weight, take it slow and easy. Eat a balanced diet -- that is, a little less of everything.
