I checked the thing out with some different values, and noticed something about the phrasing:
"she weighs only 6 stone"
why is he using this as his method of measurement? Surely if she has played Wiifit, it will show her what her weight is in pounds. he could have just quoted it from there, but instead he uses a far more general and less accurate measurement standard. If 6 stone is 84lbs, then 1 stone is 14 lbs
If she input her height just an inch shorter at 4'8" (like if she's 4'9" WITH shoes) and happened to be just 5 lbs heavier (entirely normal fluctuation range throughout a day) then that would put her at 89 lbs and 4'8" giving her a BMI of 20, which registers her as overweight.
even with putting her at her supposedly correct 4'9", she only has to be 9 lbs heavier(93 lbs) than 6 stone, which still doesn't bump her up to 7 stone (98 lbs)
Mind you, even with that, there's a good chance that a lot of that is muscle for a kid that swims and dances, but really, any kid that physically active should NOT be worrying about being called "fat" but this hardly comes across as being Wiifit's fault. People are so damn sensitive.
