read that and what not and do the BMI calculator thing at the bottom and it will tell you what % you are at becoming over weight.

It sounds like you are concerned. I would just suggest eating good and getting exercises and not worry about it. If you are doing all of the right things, don't worry. The media makes us think we all have to be skin and bones. This isn't achievable for MOST people. Just be healthy and love yourself for who you are.
Dr Oz that is a guest on Oprah a lot says your waist should be below 40" I believe. (that is sucking in and around your body at the belly button level) If it is over 40 you probably need to loose a little fat.
Good luck! Love yourself!

According to the BMI calculator, you are in a normal range. However, the numbers are slightly different for children and teenagers. There is no need to worry yet, but since you are still growing, I suggest you monitor your food intake and excercise daily.
And the rule about adding 5 pounds for every inch over 5 feet only determines the suggested weight for your height. In reality, the acceptable range is larger.

My wife is 5"3" and 130 to 135 depending and I wouldn't trade her for anything. She keeps herself in good shape. With that and the weight I don't worry about her getting broke.

You are average, and there is nothing wrong with not being extremely thin. To be extremely thin is just not sexy. Just make sure you are eating right, and don't worry too much about your current weight unless you go up anymore. Be happy with the way you are, and don't worry about it. BMI says you are average, its better than being over weight, or anorexic

It really depends on your skeletal structure and muscle to fat ratio, but I think 134 sounds healthy looking- not too heavy and not one of those yucky skin and bones girls! Just try to get some walking or bike riding in every day and you'll be fine!

Do you like your look? Do you like how you feel? Are you active? Or do you prefer to make excuses. Yes you are slightly on the overweight side. And the fact you asked means you probably already knew that, but was hoping for an excuse to not change it. If you like yourself the way you are, don't worry about it. But it sounds like you don't, so do something about it.

You are overweight.. once you are over 5 feet you should be 100lbs and then every inch you grow you should be an extra 5 lbs.. thats about the normal weight. Since you are 5'2", you should be 110lbs.

A little for your age. I'd suggest getting down to about 125lb.
HTH : )
