Use this formula to answer your question:
- for a female, the "ideal" bodyweight should be 100lbs + 5lbs for every inch over 5ft tall. So for you at 5ft 2 inches that would be 100lbs + 10lbs = 110lbs.
Keep in mind that this all depends on body makeup as well. (Muscle weighs more than fat). Unless you are very athletic and muscular and/or have large breasts (which are mostly fat anyway), I'd say that you are carrying about 20lbs of extra fat. The best way to judge this is not to look at the scale, but to look in the mirror while naked.

Just a little bit over weight. The total amount of lean (non-fat) parts of the body, including muscle for your height, and age is 99 lbs. So you`re supposed to weight just a little more. About 103 lbs. Visit www.beaturlbs.com for more info :)

I would have to go with NO!!!! even though you are only 5'2 you are healthy and even though you think you might be fat it could be due to all the hype on being skinny rail women we see in our daily lifes be it watching to big screen or looking through a magaizine whatever it is just know that you are as beautiful and no where near fat NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT SAY!!!

Your weight of 130 lbs. in relation to your height measurement of 5'2" is not overweight according to the BMI table (Body Mass Index). A reading up to 25 is normal, and your reading is 24.
However, your waist measurement should not be above 35 inches.

Eat 5 smaller healthier meals per day; low fat meat, chicken or fish, skinny milk, low fat cheese or yogurt, vegetables and fruit.
For fast results cut out all dairy for one month then slowly re-introduce them. Eat one boiled egg 3 times per week, eat 2 slices of good whole grain bread per day. Cut out all pasta, and eat a micro-waved or baked potato instead with a tomato salsa topping instead of cheese or cream.
Exercise reguarly by walking or riding a bike. 20 minutes in each direction at a steady pace. Increasing speed as you get fit.

You are a little overweight, but you may be able to carry it well depending on how you are proportioned. As long as there is not a lot around the belly, or the thighs are very big you may look fine.
Just being honest.

No you're OK but try to maintain yourself healthy and you can check on the Internet what is your recommended weight for your height.

a number means nothing.....how active are you? and some people store fat in different areas, you might not be fat, but you may have a little extra in spots you dont care for.......just work on that.
