No, you are not even close to being overweight. You need to relax and be happy with yourself. Wear clothes that flatter your figure and if you feel flabby in some areas, work out to tone up and eat healthily. You can also check your body fat percentage, it should not be higher than 30%, ideally less than 25%. HTH : )

You haven't even finished developing yet! I bet by the time you graduate high school all of the boys will be chasing after you! I was in the same boat as you when I was your age. By the time I was a senior, I had turned into a swan. (I changed schools and people hardly recognized me!) It was great to see their faces when I would run into all of those people who called me fat or ugly. Just let nature run it's course! You're probably a late bloomer! If you feel self conscious maybe walk or try to eliminate a few things from your diet that are unhealthy (sodas, high fat foods, etc.) Thanks to the likes of Beyonce, J-Lo, and my ultimate favorite thickness, LaLa (MTV VJ) they're making all these stick skinny girls wanna gain some weight to fill out those Juicy Couture pants! Love Yourself! Be healthy!

According to health professionals you have a BMI of 22.3. This is your Body Mass Index. In tems of weight, the high end of the healthy range for you is 146lbs and the low end is about 115lbs. It appears you are right in the middle and I can't imagine that's a bad place to be!

By Who's definition? And overweight for what?
Unhealthy? No, although I'm not sure how much more you could cary. To Be a model in Paris? Maybe, but they are under weight..
Be yourself, ask a doctor, enjoy life.. Screw the haters.

No, overweight for you would have to be 150 and lbs and up. You are average. Not too skinny but not too fat. Don't compare yourself to magazines and celebrities. To them anything above a size 0 is "plus size."

You dont sound over weight, but it never hurts to take advice on eating healthy and exercising a once or twice a week

NO!!!! im sorry but the other person who answered your question was a tad rude...
i am 16 and 5'2" and i weigh about 125 and most people think i am thin...not skinny but a good size. i am smaller than most people i know my age. so NO you are not overweight in my opinion...you are a great size! : )

You could stand to lose a couple of pounds,but nothing to worry yourself about.
Think about what you wear.Don't wear hip hugger jeans if your gut hangs over.Girls who do that look nasty.Be a little more choosy.
