You are waaaaaayyyyy too young to be worried about your weight.  You haven't even started to become the woman you will be and please, please please don't start on the diet treadmill as it will mess up your body's metabolism (that's how your body deals with food). Your body is changing and developing and now is not a good time to put it under any additional stress by dieting. You need fat on your body to ensure it develops properly and that you don't have bone thinning or fertility problems later in life. I suggest you go to http://www.dove.co.uk/uk_en/ and check out their campaign for real beauty feature - every girl deserves to be made to feel beautiful without conforming to an impossible to achieve image created by the media. \n\nIf you're worried about it, read the following carefully and think about what you want and why you want it.  Is it to fit in or is it because you want to be healthy (not thin, thin isn't automatically healthy).\n\nThere is no such thing as a safe quick weight loss. Diets and diet pills don't work they just act on the pituitary gland (this is a part of the body in the brain that helps make your body work properly).  Diets make the body lose water not fat (water loss means weight loss). It's good to exercise or run about and have fun as anything which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is good. If you don't eat enough the body goes into "famine" mode if it doesn't get enough norishment (ie, it thinks it's being starved) and stores anything it does get as fat, rather than glucose (glucose is a form of sugar which is what every cell in your body uses for energy). Every cell in your body respires (this is like breathing - good stuff goes in and bad goes out) and this uses energy, ie, food. Without enough energy, your metabolism slows and food is stored as fat. Incidentally, who says you need to lose weight and do you really need to lose the weight? The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscles weigh four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life. Some fat is important on women as too little can cause periods to stop and fertility problems. Girls are made differently to boys and a totally flat stomach and no hips isn't healthy on a woman. The question to ask yourself is - how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh. If you think you look untoned, then include some excercise using light weights (low weight, lifted lots of times) into your life.\n\nI have friends who have taken up Pilates and although they never lost weight, their clothes looked fantastic on them, their posture improved and their entire bodies firmed up. I watched this happen. Pilates strengthens your core muscles (the ones that hold your skeleton in place) which makes you stand properly which makes you look slimmer. I believe that yoga also does this although I don't know anyone who has done this. Additionally, try dance (old style ballroom / salsa) as this is a fun way to tone up. Any excercise / activity that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat BUT IS FUN will ensure you stick to it and get fitter.\n\nAdditionally, drink lots of water. Lots of people eat when they are in fact thirsty. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first and if you're still hungry half an hour later, then eat. Eat sensibly and regularly and don't forget to eat breakfast (so named because it "breaks" the night's "fast"). Missing breakfast starts the day off badly as your body will just crave and stor

Hey,\nDon't worry about your weight! I've been obsessed with my weight since year 6 and I'm now in year 11! I was also recently diagnosed with anorexia (but I wasn't completely there, I was close to it though) and have to put on weight which isn't fun. \n\nJust enjoy who you are and don't obsess about food or anything. Your medium sized but there is nothing wrong with that, you don't need to lose weight!\n\nLauren

I'm exactly the same height and very small boned.  Yes...  you're definitely underweight but not by a huge amount.  It might be because you're extremely active and physical.  You may just need to eat a little more.  Please tell me you haven't dieted!\n\nTry to make healthy food choices and whatever you do read package labels and STOP eating all trans fats, which are dangerous for everyone.  It might just take an extra snack here and there to boost your weight a bit.\n\nTry not to obsess over your weight.  It will only set you up for a possible eating disorder.  If you feel good and are in a normal range you have nothing to worry about.

Don't worry about it. It'll come back to you. You probably stress too much. That can cause weight loss.

You are well within a healthy range. The top number for your height before being considered as "overweight" on the Body Mass Index scale is about 138 or 139 pounds. 19-25 % BMI is normal. You are about a 21 %. If you still feel uncomfortable about your appearance, perhaps some muscle toning would make you feel better?

Depends on your height, but... if you're ten years old... go watch some cartoons, play outside, torment your siblings. Do kid stuff. Don't worry about your bloody weight!\n\nBe healthy. Eat right. Be active. But I hereby forbid you to worry about your weight again until you're twenty-five!\n\nFor whatever this complete stranger's advice is worth... be a kid while you can.

Why are you worried about losing weight now? Enjoy life. If kids pick on you, beat them up or just ignore them. You are too young to be worrying about your weight unless your weight is a health risk.

ok... firstly, don't take the BMI too seriously, as so-called dietry experts are ALWAYS changing the goal posts.\n\nso long as you are happy in yourself, then everything is ok. do what you want, look how you want, don't do what other people tell you to.

Wow... you have a fantastic body... but a little concerned that you think you might be fat. We don't want you to end up with some sort of eating disorder after all.\n\nThe most important thing is that you're happy and healthy. (although you do look awesome)

There may be a psychological reason for you over eating.  Are you nervous, overly concerned about your appearance, do you have anxiety issues?  These are issues that only you can answer.  Many people find solace in food when they are dealing with anxiety.  At 15 years old, I imagine your life would be challenging.\n\nAlso, that 10kgs you gained could be the result of maturing, as your body is still growing.  At 15, I remember being able to chow down some serious amounts of food.\n\nThe best way to manage your diet, I think, is to record everything you eat.  Use a site such as http://www.fitday.com to monitor your calories and try to stay within the daily allotment (there are tools on the site to help you do this).  Also consider doing some sort of fun exercise once a day to keep your metabolism revved up and your endorphins flowing.  Try running, walking, dancing, whatever tickles your fancy.  This will help take the edge off some of the teenage angst.\n\nUltimately, you'll get the flatter abs, thighs and bums when your diet is in order and your fitness level increases.  There's no short cuts or magic pills to get around that.  It takes work and dedication.\n\nGood luck.

You should weigh however much you want to.\nWho really cares about the general weight for people your age and height. If you feel fine like you are and you're not soo overweight that it's a health hasard then it's fine. \nIf you feel good about you're weight, then don't worry about it, if you don't talk to your doctor and see what they say.

your absolutely fine, don't worry about a thing, your body is changing too much right now to worry about numbers\njust make sure you work out regularly, and by that i mean cardio, like running, rollerblading, walking, or swimming, and make sure your eating right, lots of water, fruits, vegies, chicken, fish, stay away from soda or fast food.

All you need to do is check one of those BMI index things.  I put in your height and tried some weights.  It would be normal for you to weigh from about 101 to 135 pounds.

You should not be upset about your size unless it is slowing you down in different activities that you particapate in. If your weight slows you down and affects your daily actions and routines then you should be upset. As long as you feel good about yourself and you know that your health is not in danger than continue to be the beautiful person that you say you are. Dont worry about what other people have to say about, because then you will never be able to except yourself for the way you are. People are always going to have something to say no matter if you weigh 300 pounds or 135pounds, thats why if your comfortable and your health is not at risk then keep on living!!!!!!!!!!!
