Maybe you must start out as fat or overweight in the game, how else can you get thin and "win"??:

*You are skinny and fit - you don't need to play, you have won* doesn't make a game..

True. And since stores don't take back open software it's win-win for everybody that way.

No there are people who are normal weight. Basically it calculates your BMI by dividing weight/height. If you do a lot of exercise and have big muscles then your BMI wont be accurate because muscle is heavier than fat. I think the person in this article should worry more about a lack of brain cells than being classed as overweight...

6 stone for a 10 year old is pretty heavy.

50% of Americans are 100 pounds overweight, yet they don't admit it, and don't want it mentioned to them!

buff or not
besides isn't 10 a bit young to be so self conscious to the point of being traumatized by a machine?

or maybe her family is just full of it

we're all seen that family that lies and lies to it's members

you so handsome, you look good, etc.

even when they're 300 pounds and only 4 ft. tall
