No, you are not fat and stop reading those fashion magazines, they are messing up your self esteem. You need to just enjoy life and stop competing with other girls to see who can be the thinnest. Your weight is fine and if you start dieting and losing weight, you are going to have problems in the future. Size 4 is tiny and your weight is ideal. Size 0 is not a good look, be happy with how you are. HTH : )

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'm 5'5" and have weighed anywhere between 98-125 pounds during my adult life. (not including pregnancies)\n\nI would like to get back to about 112-115. Anything lower than this and I start to feel weak and tired,low energy,etc...\n\nRight now I am 120 and am not happy with that weight,working on it though!  :)\n\nFor the person that said women that ask this question and said their self esteem is usually low,etc...   I have very good self esteem and am just a very DETERMINED  person,thank you.\n\nEveryone has their own 'comfort weight'. The weight that you feel good about both mentally and physically.\n\nIf you base this on the body mass index chart, the normal weight for someone 5'5" is between 120-140 pounds. (Approx)\n\nFeel good,stay healthy and don't worry about what others think. It is more important that YOU are happy.

I am 15 years old and 5'3 and i weigh 115. You are underweight.  I just went to my doctor yesterday actually. They told me im right under where I should be. So Your weight should be between 115-125.

120 lbs. sounds like a trim weight, but if you are concerned, you could try calculating your body mass index: the "proper" weight for your height. I'm including a link to a site where you can do this.

When I was 12, I was 5'3" and I weighed 110lbs.  I remember being healthy, not to fat or thin.  It all depends on your body type.  Those extra few inches could afford you an extra 15-20 lbs.

i think you should throw away your scales and judge yourself based on different criteria; how do you feel? when you bend over, does anything hurt or get in the way? are your clothes comfortable? can you run around the block without calling 911?can you go up and down the stairs three times in a row without collapsing half way up the fourth time? \nin other words, how much you way says nothing about your personal health.  you should be more concerned with what your body can do, since it is a tool for your spirit.  if your body can do what you want/need it to do without hurting or failing you, then you're at the perfect BMI for you\nalso, as a young woman, you don't want to be too thin.  many people think you're supposed to gain weight as you get older, but in fact, you are supposed to gradually lose it as you lose muscle mass.  If you're too thin to begin with, it may mean serious health problems later, particularly for women.\nfurther, your weight does not tell you what you are weighing.   i"m 5'6" and 120 lbs. but most of that is flab.  if i was in good shape, I'd weigh closer to 130 lbs, but i'd look thinner because the extra weight would be muscle rather than flab.\ni'm 46 and when i was your age, i was 135 lbs.  i was athletic then, and i have never had a problem or a concern about my weight until recently when i realised how much muscle i've lost and how much that has aged me.  just concentrate on being physically fit and you'll weigh what you need to\nkeep well

Hey girl, I'm in a similar situation (5'7", 150-160 lbs, 22 years old).  I'm definitely not fat, in fact I've been told that I'm very thin.  My problem is my thighs are big because I've been a softball catcher for 6 years.  Plus, big butts and boobs run in my family.  Trust me, 120 pounds is too thin.  I know this is so cliche, but muscle weighs more than fat.  I was 130 at one point and I looked like I was anorexic.  Just do exercise that you enjoy.  I currently do Yoga Booty Ballet, which targets the butt and abs.  It's pretty fun too, especially the YBB Live workouts.  The internet address is below.

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.
