Yes.\n\nPlease, please please don't continue with this unhealthy diet treadmill as it will mess up your body's metabolism (that's how your body deals with food). Diets put the body under additional stress. 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 woman 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 store anything you eat later as fat. Try to avoid having too many fizzy, sugar filled drinks or a lot of fried (especially deep fried) foods. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Try n

OK, first of all, you are not overweight. You are tall and weigh what you are supposed to. What you can do is exercise the areas you are not happy with. If you starve yourself or eat very little, you will only slow down your metabolism and gain a bunch of weight once you start eating normally. Don't play games with your health.

Your current weight of 115 pounds is within the healthy body weight range of 101 - 136 pounds for your height of 5 ft 2 in.\n\nHealthy weight range is based on a healthy body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9. The higher weights in each range apply to people with more muscle and bone. Individuals with weights above the healthy weight range may be at higher risk for developing health problems. \nAlways consult your physician for more information regarding your health risks and healthy body weight, weight loss therapy, and weight control programs.

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.)

No, you are probably active and have a high metabolism. Try cutting out an activity each day and adding one full meal to your schedule instead. You'll gain weight.

Your weight is fine and suited to your height.  You shouldn't diet while your body is still growing.  That doesn't mean however that you can't include more fruits and vegetables into your diet.\nYou can also take up things like swimming or power walking which are easy on the joints but help build strong bones.\nDon't stress over your weight because it's REALLY not worth it-- particularly when you are IN a normal weight range.

In my opinion, the last thing you need on your mind is losing weight at your age. Don't worry about gaining weight, you are still a growing child. You can't stop gaining no matter how hard you try. Don't start losing any more weight, continuing eating and being a preteen.

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

no. go look in a mirror and even if its hard, try to think about it realistically.  look at yourself as a whole instead of focusing in on different parts here and there.  you are not fat, you are thin. \ni have a feeling that you dont eat very healthily and my advice is too eat regularly, even if its not a lot. even if its less than you should, eat regularly.

Check this height/weight chart. This is a guideline... keep in mind that there are always exceptions, but if you find that you are out of the range you may want to consider that you might be underweight.\n\nAlso ask yourself...  Do you hate to eat? Do you eat ice cream? Potato chips? Pizza? Anorexia is more than just being skinny. It is a way that people relate to food and eating. If you eat when you are hungry and don't worry about it, I would say you are just naturally skinny.\n\nWhen you start refusing to eat certain foods because they have too much fat, when you look at yourself in the mirror and think you look fat all the time, when you obsess about your figure... those are danger signs. If you don't really think about what you are eating, and don't ignore your hunger, you are probably just skinny.\n\nIts ok to be skinny unless you get there through unhealthy means.\n\nAnorexia - losing weight through not eating, \nand\nBulemia - throwing up after you eat\nare both unhealthy. If you think you have one of these tell your doctor. These can have severe consequences including interefering with your ability to have children later.

when i am stressed out i often get the munchies.  i also get the munchies around the time of my period.  as far as weight gain i would say yes to that it can creep up on you so slow that you do not even realize it until one day your pants do not fit anymore.\n\nthe question about the migraines i would ask doctor i get migraines from time to time and they are not fun.\ngood luck

maybe just a little but your still growing your metabolism is fast. as long as you are eating sensibly then it's nothing to worry about. try putting on a few extra pounds you can afford to. luv xx

you should really weigh closer to 100 lbs or more even. unless your metabolism is naturally high and gaining weight with normal eating habits is difficult you are underweight right now.

Nothing is "wrong" with you.\n\nYou have a fast metabolism.\n\nMaybe it will slow down with time.\n\nTrust me, in the long run you'll be grateful.
