Firstly, if she's put on quite a bit of weight, chances are she's well-aware of it.
It's okay to tell her IF you see that it's affecting her health in a negative way... this does not necessarily mean that you should tell her simply because she's put on weight.
If her weight gain has had some noticeable changes with regards to her health (not just the physical appearance), then I'd say it's okay to tell her, BUT in a way that isn't judgmental or in a way that sounds like you're criticizing her for it.
If she's happy and her weight gain hasn't negatively affected her, then you shouldn't tell her. It's your place, as a friend, to tell her when you're genuinely concerned for her health, but it's not your place to tell her simply because she has poor dietary habits, doesn't exercise, or has belly fat.
maybe she's depressed or has some other issue that she's unwilling to talk about and is therefore comforting herself with food.
if you absolutely must bring it up, talk to her about weight loss in terms of health and offer to be her workout buddy. that way, it will be fun and you two can motivate each other.
I think you need to try to get to the real issue, people don't put on a lot of weight just because hot dogs were on sale, your friend might be undergoing serious stress or depression, so try to find out what's going on, sadly I don't think pointing it out would do any good as the person is already aware of the situation, if you are not the taking type, invite you're friend for a hike or any activity that might help work out while providing distraction, hope that helps
Tell her you are concerned for her health. And that you offer her your help. That is all you can do. She might take it well or take it bad. Depends how much she's addicted to bad food. I've tried with a few people, never really works.. They don't care as long as there get there food. They take it personally.

only you know your friend and the type of person she is. i have friends i could never tell that to, but i also have those whom i know would want me to tell them if they were gaining weight or not eating well. So think about it, is she the kind who will not take it well?
I'd say keep it to yourself. Either she's aware of the weight and doesn't care or wants to do something about it but isn't quite there yet. Telling someone that they're fat (which I'm sure they already know) is more likely to make them more depressed.
Instead of mentioning her weight, perhaps mention her lifestyle, but make sure that you convey that you are worried for her well being and future. Diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, all of those and more are headed her way if she doesn't get her diet under control.
if they are close to you and you are genuinely concerned with their health i dont see why not. although i get really annoyed when the people i know think its fine to tell me to gain weight but if its with someone that weighs too much if you want to tell them they should lose weight its like oh too far!!! it makes no sense to me D:
Only if you follow it up with usefull help.
I told my best friend she was too fat but i started running with her and teaching her how to workout. Went shopping with her to get some workout clothes that made her feel good and put her in a healthy mindset about what to eat eg dont starve yourself. Now the weight is falling off her.
To simply say "you are fat" is a simplistic and cruel statement
yes off course, there is nothing good on being obese. Plus you are helping him/her to have a better health.
I would say "Just do some sports and diet, sweety. You'll have a donut on your belly otherwise" My friends know how honest I am, so it doesn't matter
I think there is tactful way of saying it and flat out saying you need to lose weight is not that way
Ask her how she's feeling. There could be something going on in her life that is triggering her sudden weight gain. Tell her you're concerned about her.
it should be okay but people get offended in this politically correct world that we live in
Tell her you'll die if you get too fat
I would never do it lol
