no lizibell, i mean over fat, saying overweight is over rated, over fat means too fat.....weight consist of water, fat and muscle, i think the term "overfat" is pretty self explanitory...

You're 5'7" and you weigh about 150 now? That sounds like a normal weight to me. From what I've read, a girl your height can be anywhere between 123 lbs. and 163 lbs., depending on your body frame and muscle tone (and remember, muscle weighs more than fat). The taller you are, the heavier you're supposed to be, so I don't think there's any cause for worry.

You should weigh between 121 and 153.. so you are fine. However, if you feel that you need to build muscle, or you are a little flabby, you need to work out. Do weight training. You can be not overweight and still be flabby.

Stop drinking soda drink water. Walking is good it does not matter how fast you walk but distance does.
