your BMI (body mass index) is 24.5 anything above 25 for your height is considered moderately overweight. As of now you are considered healthy.

No, it sounds like you are getting close to being UNDERweight, not overweight!

you are not fat, don't even think of that.  to tell the truth you may even be under-weighted.  but look at all of those other people in the world who are overweight, and think, do i look like that?  no you don't.  so the next time that fat question comes your way just read this answer and that problem will be solved

You are not overweight. Losing 10 lbs when you are only 113 lbs now would only make you look emaciated. I know because I am 5'3" and for a while weighed about 115. I was all bones, except for the flabby tummy. People who had known me for years kept telling me to eat!!! As for the tummy, exercise (crunches, etc) should do the trick unless you have had kids.... Then the tummy will never be the same!!!

Depends on how tall you are. A good general measure is 5 pounds for every inch above 5 foot. So if you were 5'3" your weight should be from 110-120 depending on body type.\nSee link below for a BMI calculator for teens, that will give you an accurate measure.

I don't think you are over wait.  Probably all the weight is coming from all the muscle you have.  Muscle weighs more then fat does.  So i don't think so. As long as you eat right and excercise then i think you are in great shape.

You are currently near the top of the healthy weight range for your height, which means you may be at risk for becoming overweight.  But if you're still growing and you add another inch or two, then that won't necessarily be a problem.  \n\nLosing five pounds sounds doable.  Just cut back on the junk food and sodas (I know, that's hard for teenagers but it's worth it to your health) and work a little more exercise into your life.  You'll be glad you did.\n\n(See the Ideal Body Weight Calculator for Kids and Adults at the link below.)

I don't know how tall you are, what your bone structure is like, how much muscle you have, etc.  I can't tell you if you're overweight.  If your doctor told you to lose weight, you should, but otherwise don't worry about it.\n\nTry to eat healthy and get plenty of exercise, but don't worry what you weight.  It's not generally healthy for girls your age to try to lose weight unless your doctor says you need to.

What do you weigh at the moment? At 5ft6 and 13, you shouldn't really weigh more than about 140lb-145lb, but as your goal has to be realistic, aim to be at least 155lb. Good luck : )

Sounds not bad to me, have you big bones or slight build cos that also determines what is considered overweight.\nYou must know what u look like  OK...long as you are healthy n happy then all's good.77kgs sounds just fine...

No, you are not overweight.  Check out http://www.tbfinc.com/overweight.htm\nNot showing you this as a weight loss thing but for the weight chart (quickest one I could find).\nI'm 17 year old female and a sophomore in NROTC (Marine Corps Option).  We have to keep a certain weight (or they look at our body fat %).  I'm 5'5-5'6 but my weight goes between 129-135...depending on my water consumption and amount of time im working out that week.  I've got very little body fat though, lots of muscle mass.\n  http://usmilitary.about.com/od/marines/l/blweightfemale.htm\nYou are still within a good weight even by Marine Corps standards so don't listen to the few idiots on here.\nIf you feel "overweight" start working out...even lightly.  If you gain lbs after that chances are its muscle or water--not fat.

It really depends on your build and height. You're probably fine, hun.\nI weigh 125 and I'm 21. But I'm 5'6"\nYou are not large at all. You'd have to be under 5 feet to even be considered slightly overweight. Don't listen to the people on here telling you that you're too big.\nAge really has nothing to do with it.

It doesn't sound like you are overweight, but everyone is different and it is dificult to go by weight and height only. I was told my ideal weight was to loose four stone, but after two I realised I was ok and, when I lost 9 lbs more, I looked awful - really unhealthy and ill. \n\nBest thing to do at the moment is not to loose weight as you are still very young and it could be really bad for your health, stopping things like your breasts growing. If you just watch what you are eating, do lots of exercise and let yourself finish growing (when you're around 20), you will find that you stretch and slim out anyway.\n\nWho cares what other people think anyway? Most girls are really bitchy when it comes to this kind of thing. Ignore them and enjoy becomming a woman.

Quite likely.  I am 5'4" and I weigh 146.5.  I also wear a size 4-6 pant.  Remember muscle weighs more than fat, you probably are just more muscular.  I also believe that the density of your bones plays a part.  Your bones may be denser than your friends or you may have a larger frame.  My boyfriend is 6' tall and he only weighs 20 lbs more than me.  The number can be depressing, but as long as you are happy with how you look don't worry about the number.  If you aren't happy with how you look, do something about it and still dont' worry about the number.

I would have to say yes, but as with everything in life there are stipulations to that.  It has a lot to do with your body type and such also.  For instance I am 5'3 and weigh 180.  I am stalky.  I don't look fat but my doctor says I am obese.  The healthy weight according to my docotr for my size is 135.  So the best thing I can tell you is your doctor may not always be correct check around and do some research first, before you decide that you are fat and need to diet.
