I have this one best friend.
She is about 5 foot 8. Around there. She's 12 years old and weighs about 165-170. Is that overweight? I just need to know.

man you sound exactly like my friend except the fact that she's 13 and weighs a tad bit more than you. but you have the same name as her which is weird. umm...but anyways you sound fine i mean you could just have a large frame plus your young your going to grow and shrink in different areas. hope this helps

Wow. She's only 12 but 5'8''? Well im not trying to be rude, but she could spare about 15 pounds. I mean, she's not really overweight, she is in a healthy weight area. But she's just kinda over how much she should weigh. If she decides she wants to lose weight. Here's some info:
I am 13 years old, 5'4'' and 100 pounds. I am currently trying to lose about 10 pounds. This is what i do:
Breakfast- Oatmeal (about 140 calories) and Skim Milk (75 calories)
Snack- Granola Bar (100 calories)
Lunch- Sandwich and Fruit (300 calories)
Snack- 1 cup of blueberries w/ Splenda (80 calories)
Dinner- Salad with eggs, cheese, meat, a little bit of dressing and chicken breast (400 calories)
Desert- Blueberries w/ Splenda (80 calories)
Exercise- 1 hour of PE (running,exercise, stretches, etc.) and 100 crunches, 50 ups per leg, and 30 pushups at home
Well thats what im doing right now and I think it works. You should try this and you should see results in a month. I know its not really fast but its a healthy and safe way to lose weight. Also, its not really dieting because its yummy. :] I hope this works for you!

5 foot 8 and 170 lbs is probably considered overweight, however, she probably does not appear "fat" Considering her age, she's a big girl i'm sure.

Yes, this is not a healthy weight. Try to encourage her to get out of the house more, take walks, have fun.

5' 8''??? r u sure? that is REALLY tall. and yeah I would have to say that she's over weight.
Go to google and search "BMI couculator" and punch in those #'s there.

On the BMI scale I think it might be but it really depends on how she looks and feels about herself, its hard to say about a person when you can't see them.

Is it muscle...? Being overweight may not be bad...I know people who are "overweight" but are in amazing shape and are extremely healthy...it depends but your "friend" might be overweight. (Wasnt implying that your "friend" was acually you)
