Anyone can be a model as long as they have the right attitude, measurements are not set in stone people look for a unique look not just a few numbers. If you are happy with the work, and don't expect overnight success, you will be fine. If you are actually thinking about it here is some advise.
I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in the US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.
AND NO YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL FAT!!!!

You are not fat! The anorexia look is not as appealing to men as society would like us to think. Not a single one of my guy friends likes those grossly skinny girls. They all joke about taking girls like that to an all you can eat contest as a first date. And in true guy fashion make jokes about how a girl that thin might break while they were, umm, you know, doing "stuff". (Boys, they are so immature but at entertaining at the same time) There is a lot of information you can find on healthy weight ranges in relation to your height. Try searching for some websites about it or talk to your doctor. Just because your bones don't protrude from your skin like they may burst through at any moment does not mean you are fat. Good luck in the modeling business! Give those walking skeletons a run for their money!

I don't think that's fat. That's a very healthy weight. As for being a model, you probably aren't tall enough to be a supermodel, but I know there are some (few, but some) modeling agencies that look for "real" people. You might have to look pretty hard, but they're out there. If you are uncomfortable with your weight, diet and exercise can help you. Good luck!

NO!!!!!!! Your weight is relative to your bone structure and muscle mass. Some people have more or less of those things. There are models that come in all shapes and sizes. I was involved in Model Search America a few years ago and they picked ALL kinds of people. My friend and I were picked. I'm 5'2" tall and wear a size 10 (140lbs) she's 5'11 and wears a size 6 (145lbs). Don't judge yourself on what others look like. You sound like you would make a good model to me. ;-) Do you really want to look like Calista Flockhart?
Besides, like the saying goes...Only a dog wants a bone.
