At 109lbs, your BMI is at 19.3, which is the very low end of the normal range. If you lose 13lbs, your BMI will be 17, which is VERY low (in an anorexic weight range). (Normal is 18.5–24.9, Overweight is 25.0–29.9). I would NOT recommend losing weight, and if you feel compelled to do so, you should seek help.
What's your relationship with food and body like? If you are eating when hungry and stopping when full, that's a good sign. If you are restricting your caloric intake to maintain a lower weight, or you are compulsively overeating, that will certainly throw off your metabolism.
As an athlete, I would HIGHLY recommend that you consult with a nutritionist, and be medically monitored if you do lose weight. There are many medical complications that can arise from dropping to such a low weight.
Here's more info. on eating and body image problems, and also to find support groups and/or a therapist who specializes in athletes with eating issues. You can also find a nutritionist on this site.

I recommend a tinted moisturizer somewhat, or Nivea (or Vaeline, unsure what the kind is!) sunkissed. It supplies a creamy glow. Or a genuine faux tanner, like Aveeno non-end Radiance Moisturizing Lotion thingy. I have been given those ones out of Seventeen mag: perfect faux tanners. -Dove potential Glow attractiveness physique Lotion with diffused Self Tanners. -Jergens organic Glow show physique Moisturizer -Loreal Paris Suvbime Bronze ProPPerfect Airbrush Self Tanning Mist -Sally Hansen soft GLow diffused lowering on a regular basis Moisturizer

You don't need to lose any weight. You are already underweight as it is. For your height (depending on your age too) you should be no less than 113 lbs. You're fine the way you are.

You want to trying reading a book on this topic that has changed my life by going here:

Is a strict diet part of your regimen?
There are several essential nutrients missing from the diets most people eat. Replacing them with vitamin supplements doesn't make up for the synergistic effects of nutrients found in food.
Fiber
Fiber is the indigestible part of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Whole grains and cereal fiber can lower your heart disease risk by 30%. To increase the fiber in your diet to the recommended 14g for every 1,000 calories eaten, have a 1/2 cup serving of Fiber One cereal and add more beans to your diet with lentil soup. Use whole grain bread and add some fruit and vegetables to your meals.
Magnesium and Potassium
Magnesium and potassium are linked to blood pressure control, protection from osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes and stroke. To add magnesium, have a half-cup of bran and cooked spinach daily. For potassium, eat sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans and bananas.
Calcium
Calcium provides the raw material for building your teeth and bones. It prevents bone-thinning osteoporosis, contributes to healthy blood pressure, and can reduce the risk of colon cancer. To have the right amount in your diet, drink three glasses of low-fat or fat-free milk every day, or have eight ounces of fat-free yoghurt and 2-3 ounces of low-fat cheese each day.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A cares for and maintains our eyes, the linings of the respiratory, intestinal and urinary tracts, and the quality of our skin. To add more vitamin A to your diet, add darkly-pigmented foods to your daily diet. These include carrots, spinach, kale, winter squash, and a medium baked sweet potato. They do not include lettuce and french fries.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is necessary for our body to create collagen, a glue that holds our skin, bones, blood vessels and skin together. It also helps to make brain chemicals, neutralize damaging free radicals, and metabolize cholesterol. Vitamin C may also help the heart and reduce arthritis and diabetes. To add vitamin C to your diet, simply add a glass of orange juice or an orange every day. Other helpful foods with vitamin C are kiwifruit, cantaloupe, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, red or green bell peppers, and broccoli.
Vitamin E
Sufficient vitamin E also neutralizes free radicals to protect cells from damage, plays a role in the immune system, can help prevent the common cold, and can lower the risk of Parkinson's disease. Foods healthy in vitamin E include almonds, sunflower kernels, and sunflower oil in salad dressings, which helps you gain the nutrients from the vegetables and carry the vitamin E into the bloodstream.

well, buy lots of vegetables, like potatos, tomatos, and whatever kind of vegetable and fruit there is available at the market. so stop eating anything else, except these vegetables and fruits. in three weeks you may lose up to 10 kilos!
