Not according to a BMI calculator.

Have you ever heard of the Body Mass Index? It's a scale that shows (fairly accurately) if you're overweight or not. Google it. The answer is no! You are not overweight! I am 5'3", fourteen, and 110 pounds, and I'm perfectly fine for my body type. That's the major flaw with the BMI, by the way. It can't deal with different body types. Instead of asking yourself, "how much do I weigh," ask yourself, "Am I fit? Can I go through my day without feeling extra tired? Am I healthy? Could I be more healthy?" The you can start to have a positive reaction when you see those little numbers. Another interesting tidbit: Muscle weighs a lot more than fat, so weight can be completely inaccurate. I'm pretty strong, yet I weigh more than other girls my age. It just means I work hard! Don't worry about it. Have a happy day instead! dfb

NO!!! you are definitely not overweight. But if you think you are it could be signs of an eating disorder, like anorexia (you think you weigh more than you do and see yourself as overweight). I think that you should talk this over with a parent or trusted adult and maybe consider getting a councilor to help you figure out why you feel this way.

Absolutely Not! You figure for a woman 5' tall, to start at 100 lbs, and 15 lbs for each inch over 5', you sound like you are fine. Who told you that you are overweight? Whoever they are-they are so wrong! Take care.

NO YOU ARE NOT!!!!!!! IN FACT YOU COULD PROBABLY USE 5-10 LBS. NOW I REALLY DON'T KNOW YOUR DIMENSIONS, BUT THEY SOUND PERFECT TO ME. I AM A LITTLE BIASED BECAUSE I ADORE PETITE WOMEN. TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE OLSEN TWINS- PUT THEM TOGETHER AND THEY MAY EQUAL 1 PERSON. TRYING TO BE SUBTLE...WELL I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. YOU ARE PERFECT, STAY THE WAY YOU ARE
