Question of the Week - Just for Teens: Am I Fat?

By , About.com Guide   February 18, 2009

Follow me on:

I get hundreds of emails and blog comments each week from teenagers asking the question: Am I fat? It's hard to tell if you're at a healthy weight when you're a teenager. Your body is still growing and changing and, the hard part is, we don't use the same tools to measure weight and health in teens that we use for adults.

If you're a teen worried about your weight or an adult with a worried teen, you'll find some ideas for finding out if you're at a healthy weight in my latest FAQ, Am I fat? Be sure to leave a comment if you have any experiences or suggestions about teens and weight loss.
