You need not to lose weight and please stop watching advertisements on young models who are way too thin.

You really do not need to lose weight. If you still look 'fat' because of your short stature, maybe you should try yoga or pilates as this is known to give you a leaner more steamlined looking body. It may not even be excess fat that is the problem, running, playing sports and dancing is known to increase muscle mass, so it may also be muscle that is making you look 'bigger' than you would like to look.
So reduce your amount of muscle building acitivities so you can fit in regular yoga/pilates sessions. You may also have a larger frame despite your height.
Please don't try to lose weight, try the yoga/pilates first, I'm sure you will be very pleased with the improvements. HTH : )

At 4'92 and only 100 lbs you're probably just right. Get your Body Mass Index checked and if it's around 25 you're OK. That means you're not 'fat' but if you want to look slimmer wear high heels or inserts. Wear clothes that make you look slimmer like vertical stripes and dark colours. You can still grow taller until you're about 23. Ask the doctor for growth hormones. I had a friend who was just like you and is now 5'6" so there's hope yet. Above all be yourself. Let others take you for what you are and be proud of yourself.

You are normal, like all of us you care about your looks.
You are not fat nor chubby - you are thick.
Nothing is wrong with that - at your age it's baby fat. In 1 to 2 years you will naturally lose some weight and look toned and shapely. Keep eating healthy and continue your exercise program - and look forward to being a foxy chick soon.
Peace out.

Stop looking at the "numbers" (like bmi, weight, height, etc.) Take an honest look in the mirror and ask yourself one question, "Am I happy with what I see in the mirror."
The key here, is are YOU happy with how you look. It doesn't matter what any magazine, your friends, or even the numbers say. What matters is that YOU are happy with who/what you see in that mirror every day.
If you notice any areas that you are not happy with, then focus on those particular areas with appropriate work-out plan.
Still work out with a normal routine - just spend more time in the areas that you want to improve.
The truth is that we ALL could use some improvements. And, we ALL have our own separate views/opinions.
What truly matters, I'll say it again, is that you are happy with you!

Be proud of the way you were made. Your small stature isn't going to change, so you have to accept that.
There is only one person that has the right answer to this question, and that is YOU.The only opinion that matters is YOURS.
You sound like a bright, intelligent and upbeat person, and in my books that makes you a bigger person than many on here.Continue to eat well and excercise, and don't worry about other people's opinion on this matter.

Don't worry about weighing 100 pounds. If you really do exercise heavily for over an hour every day, then you are probably very muscular. Muscle weighs more than fat. Even if you do have a bit of chub on you, I wouldn't worry. As people grow into their late teens they lose all of their "baby fat" as they call it.

I think that you are the right size for you. You are doing everything right - eating right, exercising. You are most definitely NOT FAT.
If you feel like you look fat, think about what you are wearing. Perhaps you need to focus on clothing styles that will make you look thinner or taller.

You sound just fine. My kids gave me a talking scale for Christmas, the kind where you set your weight loss goal and when you get on the scale it says" congratulations you have lost two pounds" or it might say "sorry, you gained a pound" The first time I got on it it said" One person at a time please!"

You're not fat. You're a perfectly healthy weight.

most gujratis are short
i think you are just chubby, you will probably grow some more and the weight will disperse evenly
