I weigh 140lbs. I am 4ft. 10in. Yeah I know i'm short. I wear a size 8 in pants. And a M-Large in a shirt.
The least weight that I have been at was 125-130 & i was on a strict diet. Now after I have stopped I have gained it back. It took me about a year. Do you think I'm overweight?

Yes, you are overweight. According to the BMI chart, you are bordering obesity. By my calculations, I don't see how on Earth you are wearing a size 8 pants. This must be a joke.
But, in case it isn't, you need to get your life in order! Healthy weight for someone your height is 90 - 115 pounds. Talk to a doctor and come up with a way to change your entire lifestyle - not just "strict dieting" and get your family and friends to support you.

Technically you are about 20lb overweight. But if you are only wearing a size 8, then I'm thinking either you have quite large frame for your small height, and/or you are very athletic. Size 8 might not be small for 4ft10, but it certainly isn't fat either. I would have your body fat percentage checked. It should ideally be between 18% and 25%, but up to 30% would be acceptable too. HTH : )

You maybe a little overweight, to figure out if you are over weight you should calculate what your BMI (Body Mass Index) is. And count how many calories you take in each day.

You're overweight according to those stinking BMI charts, but those do not depict your true body fat percentage. You may have alot of muscle, which weighs a lot more than fat.
So yeah, according to society and those unreliable charts, you're overweight. According to the real world and compared to the majority of Americans, you are definitely NOT.

yes, you are a little overweight. Think of it this way, I'm a male, 5'9", and weigh 100 pounds. You are a little overweight.

personaly i dont think you are over weight, i think a woman looks better if they are healthy rather than skinny and very thin, but if you feel good about yourself thats all that counts, good luck
