So an overweight person told to lose weight for heath reasons is news?

Meme Roth, I think your group would be looked at better is you change your name from the negative National Action Against Obesity to a positive like National Agency for a Healthy Life.

We don't always have to be against things, we can actually be for something

i agree with transparent there is nothing wrong with her the people who are thinking she is fat are skinny get over yourselfs my she is young and big but heathy have a ever heard big and beatifull

So all of you going against this saying this is because Jordon is a female don't agree that being that much overweight is a health hazzard? You just think it's because she's a woman? I also said Ruben was overweight and needed a diet. Same thing with both Dan and Roseanne and everyone else.

Why do so many people in this country get upset when someone is told they are overweight and it is a health problem and can become worse? Is it because 70% of our country is overweight?

The only people that say she's overweight are skinny. lol that's funny. if you can't see she's overweight, then you need a new perscription for your glasses.

Are you just taking offense to the obvious?

Some people are just bigger than others.

I have a 13-year-old son whose 5'8" tall whose built is similar to Jordin's. He's a happy, healthy young man, who exercises daily, plays basketball and soccer.

I personally don't see anything wrong with Jordin. I rather see her the way she is than see her showing off her bones!

I think it is sad that everyone is so weight obsessed. Unless it is her own personal doctor telling her to lose weight for medical reasons I think she should just go on with her life. I think she is a beautiful girl and if she is happy with herself then that is all that matters.

Jordin is 17 years old. If someone put her height, bone mass, and weight into ratios, she might be 10 lbs over. I doubt she is carrying 50 extra pounds. Even Jim Van Fleet looks bigger on TV and he's a tall skinny person. Sorry Jim, but you know it's true.
And as far as Doctors go, most of the time the ones who are obese and headed for a heart attack, are the same ones who tell their patients they need to lose weight.
When I weighed 142, I looked like a walking pile of bony muscle. According to weight charts I should have been 135 lbs.
I think she'll be OK, she's going to be exercising a lot over the next year, and this is the key to staying fit.

I completely agree with Gammie. One can't make an assessment of her health based soley on looking at her on television compared to a very short Ryan Seacrest. (I know him - Trust me, he's short.)

If you were to take all of her physical variables into account, she probably isn't as overweight as it seems. And if so, she's only 17. I myself was overweight for a few years as a teenager, but I grew 2 inches in college, my metabolism (or something!) changed, and have since been (and now am) in normal weight range for my height/age. And healthy the whole time.

Jordin looks fine. There are millions of women who whould kill for her figure. She is a woman with curves and most guys my age really dont like the white picket fence look. That lady needs to live and go to Johnny rockets or something. Being fit is not just bout scales and food but being fit is first and for most being fit and comfterble with yourself. Thats the problem with obese children. They lack self cofidence and to see someone they can relate to, be as cofedent and amazing as jordin is... whats wrong with that. Not your body not, your image, not your problem, go be skinny.
