Sweetie, you sound like you are perfect for your age and height!! Its all about being healthy!! Trust me, I was extremely overweight in high school, i was about your height, but i was 205..... now i am 5'6" and i weigh between 155-160, it varies a lot!! I am a size 12, and I am happy with myself (most of the time!). My cousin is your EXACT size and she looks great!! So, the answer, is no!! You shouldn't have to worry about your weight, you should be focusing on your school work, colleges, things like that!! From experience....i am 23, and I have kept the weight off for about 6 years now, but you sound like you are fine!! The key is just to eat healthy, and exercise, and drink water! But from one girl to another, don't worry about other people and what they think, live for you!!!

Answer 4

It sounds fine to me, if you do want to loose a few pounds, then may be drop to about 105-109 which would be perfect for your height.

I'm 29, 5'3 and I weigh 108.

Answer 5

Your BMI is 20.2

Average is 18.5-24.9

So, from a health standpoint, you are at a good place. Stay in that area, losing too much weight, as well as gaining it, is unhealthy. But you still have a long way to go before you hit the "overweight" category (you'd have to gain another 30 lbs.)

Answer 6

well possibly a few pounds but it depends on how you carry the weight plus how you feel about yourself as a person.some women have the weight all over,some in one or two places and some women are just big boned and it suits them well or having big hips can make women uncomfortable about themselves and creates a problem about weight.basicly it depends on where the weight is at.

Answer 7

Be proud of who you are... honestly, that's not bad at all. In West Verginia, 114 is annerexically skinny. Whatever someone said, dokn't believe them because they shouldn't make you feel fat and make you believe that you need to ask this question. Like i said, be proud of who you are and let no one change you.

Answer 8

No!! Don't listen 2 the media! If you loose anymore weight you may become sick. Stay healthy, eat lots of fruits and vegtables!

Answer 9

It depends on your body frame. Some girls look healthy at that weight & height, where others look malnourished or overfed. If you think you look flabby, pick up some 10lb weights & build some muscle.

Answer 10

have someone take pictures of you in a swim suit. Have other people look at them because you will be your own worst critic.
Maybe you don't feel toned up. Just exercise to tighten things up.

Answer 11

No, but I think you DO need to gain some self esteem and stop fishing for compliments on Yahoo answers
