I read that I was supposed to feed guppy fry about 3-4 times a day. When can I stop doing that so they don't become overweight guppies? :)
 
When they have put weight on and are growing fast, you can cut down slightly, it's a varied diet that counts, different kinds of food.

3 to 4 small feedings a day is good for baby guppies.IF they are overweight, they will have a big belly even before a meal and you just need to put them on a diet for a few days and they will become lean again

Right, what I guess I wanted to know is when is a fry no longer considered a fry? After 1 month? 6 months?
 
I usually stop the frequent feedings once I can tell the difference between males and females. I then cut down the feedings to a couple times a day until the are full size.
