Answer 1

your BMI is 29, and 30 and over is considered obese.
but dont, dont, dont, go anorexic. PLEASE.
first of all, if you dont care about your weight and none of your friends or family do, dont worry about it.
but if you want to lose weight, then start exercising and eating healthy.
1. substitute water for soda (not drinking water will just lower your metabolism, making it hard to lose weight)
2. skip out on the fast food, its full of fat.
3. eat only when you're hungry
4. cut down calories to about 1500 a day
5. start on moderate exercise, like walking about 20-30 min. a day. once you start a regular exercise routine your body will want to keep exercising
6. only check your weight once a week, because everybodys weight fluctuates up to three pounds a day, and thats just gonna make it frustrating
good luck!

Answer 2

Well if you measure your Body Mass Index which is more accurate then just weight as far as risks to having diseases then yours is 29.5. You want this number to be around 19-24. Anyways your number puts you in overweight catagory. For your height your goal is about 150. Now this number can be off if you have muscle mass instead of fat. Because muscle is heavier than fat and does not contribute to health risks. It's good to start on a healthy lifestyle early in your life so that it sticks with you. At 15 this is a perfect age to increase exercise in your lifestyle and cut down on unecessary calories. This is really the healthiest way of losing weight. Good luck.

Answer 3

Labels, labels, labels. Don't label yourself as being overweight. If you're checking out your BMI or another sort of chart then you aren't realizing that these charts do not take into account muscle mass or bone structure. These are major factors.
If you are uncomfortable with the way you look and you want to lose weight for yourself then you should just try to cut things out of your diet like fast food, sweets, and high calorie beverages. Most people don't realize how many calories they are consuming when their diets revolve around these foods. Also, if you increase your activity level in addition then you will see results over time.
