I play sports and run a lot. As a result, I tend to have a bigger appetite. Is this normal? Is 125 lbs at 5'1 an ok weight? Should I try to lose weight and cut down on my food intake?Or is most of my weight the muscle I put on during exercise? Note: I eat junk food, but not often.

Get a body fat monitor instead of monitoring weight. Weight is pretty meaningless to anyone athletic. You can buy handheld models for as little as $15 from Target or Amazon. It will include a guide as to appropriate body fat percentages based on your age. Better models also have an "athlete mode" for very fit individuals to improve accuracy.

If you aren't eating tons of junk, I wouldn't worry. An active lifestyle will naturally make you more hungry- and thats ok.

Yep, you seem to be pretty normal to me. Keep doing what you're doing but stop eating junk food.
