Answer 1

It depends on how tall you are. I'm 5'3 and weigh 113 lbs...just right for me.

Answer 2

You don't give your height, so it's hard to say if you're overweight. 120-125 could be normal for your age.

The way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. Drink water instead of soda or juice. Add some fruits and veggies to your diet. Walk instead of riding in a car or bus, climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator, etc. Take up a sport that looks like fun and that you can do routinely - tennis, racquetball, frisbee, etc. Find something that gets you out, gets you moving, gets you sweating some. Don't worry about whether you get really good at it - the goal is activity, not getting to Wimbledon.

Find ways to work more activity into your daily routine. And find a friend to work with you. It's more fun to do things with someone rather than by yourself.

Well miss 14 years old, how tall are you? 120/125 at 3' 3" tall well might be fat, but if you are a normal teen 5' or so I don't believe you have much of a problem. If you don't do sports do you ride a bike or walking for 20 minutes or so? You have a lot of time to do both. Just stay of the couch the rest of summer and do something.

Answer 4

Depends on how tall you are as to whether you are in your healthy weight range or not.

But at 14, you are still growing and maturing. So your body will continue to change for the next few years. But now is definitely the time to eat right and exercise every day. That will set the groundwork for a lifetime of healthy living.

Answer 5

It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way you have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin.

Answer 8

Just as long as you are staying active and eating healthy/ drinking lots of water you should be fine! However it also depends on your height...

But make sure you excersize for atleast 30 minuets a day.
