I'm 5'6" and weigh 130 pounds. I don't feel as fit as I should be, so I'm exercising to lose some weight. Would 115 pounds be an unreasonable goal for my age- nearly 14- and my height?

Ya i think thats about right. If your only 14 you might get a bit taller whitch will help. But i think for you highth 115-120 is fine. Just dont think you fat or anything becouse your bmi is fine as is. If you start to exersize regulerly you will feal so much better and sleep better to.

Don't focus on a number for a goal. Eat right (i.e. a BALANCED diet, not a 'diet' go with complex carbs, protein and low fat) and excersise. Always remember, muscle weighs more than fat. A toned 130 lbs. on a 5'6" frame is a formula for a stone-cold knockout, no muscle tone and 115 lbs. is not attractive.
As young as you are, you don't want to go extreme in any direction, it can lead to long-term health problems... e.g., jogging too much on the wrong surface can give you bad knees, poor nutrition can upset the hormone balance in your body and cause a host of problems as you develop.
In short, the best advice, eat right, continue to excercise, all things in moderation... including, of course, moderation!

It's not that there is anything wrong with being 115lb at 5ft6, but it's just that there is nothing wrong with being 130lb at 5ft6 either. You shouldn't aim to be the lowest weight you possibly can, you should aim to get fit and in shape and not worry so much about what you weigh.
