No of course not! You are a good weight and shape for your height.

You do not have to or need to but it is OK if you want to be thinner. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.
Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad fats, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event. Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculator to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age).
You can force your body to lose weight with not enough calories, but if you continue it, you will starve to death. With an abundance of healthy foods, you lose weight just as fast, but only until you reach your ideal weight. You can continue eating this way the rest of your life and always be at your ideal weight.

12 is not a good age to loose lots of weight, your body is in the process of mass change and possible growth in height.
you could grow several feet over the summer or next few years.
The only down side to this, could be some of your favorite clothes becoming too small. - But hey! shopping spree.
If your doctor says you weight is fine, don't worry. be happy.

no way....you sound like you're close to normal, but you'll gain a few pounds in the next 3-4 years, and that's normal too.
becoming a woman, the body will need a few more pounds to function better, so don't freak about it. just get some running, biking, swimming, whatever moves you, dancing...
put a little muscle on and you'll be fabulous!
get into some sport at school and watch out guys, a new lady is in town...

you should loose some weight, about 5 pounds. Anyway, how tall are you? But actually you are not supposed to loose weight when you are this young cuz it will make you grow slower. Control your calories intake a bit more. 5 pounds will not need to be lose if you grow 2inches more.

At your age, just focus on maintaining the weight and as time goes on, maybe gaining a few pounds. The most important thing is that you continue to eat healthy, drink a lot of water, and exercise. It will benefit you as you get older.

Hello Simone,
Just be yourself, but don't over indulge in food and drink. Look after yourself as you only have one body and don't smoke in the future.....or now!
