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.

No, it is not overweight.  You are just in the just right range.  Don't worry about it.

If your thirteen, exercise moderatly, but don't worry about it you will grown upwards and into any extra weight. don't diet you need calories and goodness at your age. if you eat alot of chocolate and crisps try to swap it for fruit - i know its not the same though. I'd say you too young to worry at the moment.

Honey, you are not fat. Your weight is right for your age and height. At 13 you may be feeling a little sensitive about your looks which is totally normal for a teen. Don't ever let another person make you feel bad about yourself. And the person who called you that ugly name is probably just feeling bad about himself. You will be surprised what 4 or 5 years can do for your looks also. You will probably be a real knockout in a little while. Best of luck to you.

The first thing you need is family support. As a kid you did not do this to yourself..........the food and money was provided to you by your caregivers. If they are also morbidly obese you may find it necessary to find some help outside of your family. \n\nThe TV needs to be turned off or given away......no video games or computer.........except as a "reward" for being outside walking or otherwise exercising.\n\nThe fridge and the pantry need to be cleaned and SCRUBBED till there are no more places to hide unhealthy food choices. It could be quite an adventure if the whole family pitched in and lost weight together......but you will find that in life, sooner or later, we alllll must accept the consequences of our own behaviors and life-style choices.\n\nI know you'll do well and you have a whole summer to get a head-start before school starts next fall.\n\nIf your family can't help..... then find a close friend to challenge you and maybe you can compete with them in something THEY need to accomplish this summer.\n\nFriendly competition can get a WHOLE lot done and it'll be easier if you have someone to talk with.\n\n\nGood luck............make the changes for the long-haul and you'll find yourself more fit by the time you are in high-school.

no you shouldnt your only 14 wait until your 16-18 and you know your overweight 5'4" and 118 is not overweight and if your going off of a Body Mass Index chart then that is BS also because according to a BMI my ideal weight is 200 lbs at 6'2" but I am 260 lbs I work out 4 days a week and run 6 days a week so im not overweight. What you could do now though is start running nothing wrong with that but dont worry about losing weight it will just happen naturally while running.

So what I'm 14 and I'm 180lbs and  5'5. I love the way i look because i don't look overweight at all and the doctors say I'm very healthy because i exercise and play sports. Yes i do think your overweight but the important thing to do is just exercise and try to eat right, and even join a sport if you can, if you start now you can lose weight in no time. I suggest you get this book call Joan Pagano Strength training for women. It has over 60 different exercises to do and it tells you all the weights you need and some exercises you don't even need equipment, just household items. It even tells you how long it will be before you start to see results. Remember that to lose weight it won't happen over night, it takes time, just be patient. Good Luck

NOOOO!!!! you're 12!! if you try to lose weight now, you will stunt you're growth. any weight you think you have, will move to give you curves in a few years and you will regret trying to lsoe weight. 125 is a good weight. don't compare yourself. and weight can also vary depending on what kind of body you have. i weight 150 at 5 feet 3, but am still a size 6 at 21. but i'm a whole lot of muscle. Don't fall into the superficail ideas of needing to lose weight. I know you want to be grown, but you're just going to hurt yourself in the long run. you havent even begun to live. you may not feel that way, but its the truth!

You are not at all over-weight. Get ur BMI(Body to Mass Index) checked. If its 24 or less, I think you are just doin fine. You really dont want to be called skinny, do you?

As a mother of a 14 year old, i can answer your question.  If you are considered overweight and your doctor will write you a note, you can join weight watchers at 13.  Weight Watchers is not a diet, it is a way of life.  The program teaches you how to make good choices and portion control.  My daughter and I have both been on the program.  It really works.  The best part is, you do not have to give up anything.  You just eat smaller portions and record your points so that you are accountable for what you do eat and you can keep track. You are normally allowed around 24 points a day.  For example, if you go to subway and have a ham and cheese sub with all the veggies you like, a bag of baked lays and diet soda or water.  It is 9 points for everything. 1 cup of cereal and 1/2 cup 2% milk is around 4 pts.  In addition to recording your points, you can go to the meetings once or twice a week.  They cost abour $10.00 a week and last about an hour. My daughter and do not go to the meetings.  We just follow the plan.  She is also a teenager and feels uncomfortable, so its ok.  As long as you follow the plan, it really works.Just make sure you use all your points.  Some people try to get away wih 15 - 20 pts a day and that is not good either, because you body will start to store fat.  It is ok to do this once and awhile.  For example, it is Friday and you are going out to eat with your friends on Saturday.  You can use 19 points on Friday and that way you will have 29 points on Saturday, instead of 25. I hope I am not confusing you.  This website should really help you!  http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/6172/points.htm\nGood luck, honey!  You can do it!
