No, I don't think you are overweight. At your height you could weigh considerably more than you do, and still not be considered overweight. Talk to your parents about how you feel.
I know it is hard at your age to think this way, but try to focus on health and nutrition and don't worry about the weight. If you are fairly active and eat nutritiously, weight will take care of itself.
Eat well. Stay active. Go for lots of walks with your friends. Drink lots of water. Cut out junk food, fast food, and soda.

Hey, it's almost New Years. What a great time to make a resolution to lose weight! I wish you the best of luck in it.
You really have to look at two areas of your life and adjust them to match your goals:
* Diet
* Exercise
You simply can't get around these two facts. You have to consume fewer calories than you burn each day to loose weight. So if you don't change your diet, then you'll have to exercise more. Frankly, it's easier to adjust both things. Eat less, or eat smarter and exercise moderately. You don't have to go overboard. A 20 minute walk around the block is exercise.
Find someone who can share the goal with you. Another overweight friend who will walk with you. That helps a lot. You can encourage each other.
Here are a few other resources that might be helpful to you:

Good luck! Hopefully this time next year, you'll be a fraction of your former self ;)

Know if you need to lose weight
Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI)
is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It
shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.
You know how many pounds are there in 1 kg. Do not know let me help you, it is 1 kilogram =
2.20462262 pounds. Check out what your BMI is by using the BMI calculator.
http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/adult_BMI/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.htm
BMI Category
Below 18.5 Underweight
Between 18.5 - 24.9 Healthy Weight
Between 25 - 29.9 Overweight
Over 30 Obese
Look at the BMI chart to find out how much weight you need to lose to move from obese to
overweight or from overweight into a healthy range. Knowing this can help you set a good
weight loss goal.

hunny, ur not fat. Trust me. Being under 120 makes u healthy. If you really feel overweight, change your diet by cutting out unhealthy things, and doing light excerisize a few times a week. Elsewise, ur fine. There is no fast way to lose weight, unless u do dangerous and unhealthy things, which will only last a short time, and ull gain it back and more.

First of all 119 lb is not overweight! It's called baby fat which should go away by itself if you dont overindulge in fast food and doritos and at least try to participate completely in your P.E. class at school. That should be enough for now.

Amputation is always effective for fast weight loss
Beyond that, you're looking to lose 1-2 pounds a week max. Anything faster than that and you're gonna gain it all back... FAST.

You are doing a lot of growing at 13 . . . don't diet, eat sensible foods, exercise, and don't worry about your weight so much. Walking is the best exercise ever.
