You're not overweighted or fat. You're pretty healthy. You can check your BMI mass but I checked it already.

Not at all!!!!
Hon, this society tries to make everyone think that they have to be stick skinny to not be "fat". personally, I just think its sick. it doesn't help that all of these models are running away with it saying, "oh, we have to so we fit the clothes!"
but shouldn't the clothes fit You, NOT you fit the clothes? of course, that's why they make sizes. You have to understand, as you go through puberty, you will gain weight, its unavoidable. The question is: is it Healthy wieght?
If your worried about that, don't fret, just make sure that you eat right and exercise regularly. But don't cut out certain food groups completely. that isn't healthy. Remember: everything in proportion. And also about gaining the right weight: you gain weight when you gain muscle, some people forget about that. so I wouldn't judge by weight alone, girl.
But to just answer your question: no, your not fat. your perfectly normal. I'm 14, 5'4", and 122 lbs, and my BMI says that i'm perfectly in the healthy range. BMI stands for Body Mass Index. Their are a number of places online that can tell you yours for free. It can tell you if your overweight, underweight, or just right. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself! http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
this website is put together by the Department of Health and Human Services. so check it out!
and the next time someone calls you fat, say thanks, they called you P-H-A-T, phat! :-)

You cannot tell if a person is fat or overweight just using their height and weight.
If you want to know if your over weight, see how much skin you can grab between two fingers on your waist.
If its more than 1/2inch thick, you need to lose weight.
Or look in a mirror after getting out of the shower.
You know if your overweight or not.

NO. Females only:
The endocrinologists suggest 100 lb. for 5 feet of height, and 5 lb. for each additional inch. They also recommend plus/minus 10 % of that if large/small frame.So,
5 ft. = 100 lb.,plus
3 in. = 15 lb.,
equals 115 lb, plus or minus 10% = 12 lb., so
small frame = 104 and up;
large frame = 127 lb.

No. Sounds like you are healthy to me. If you are worried about how you look than take up yoga or pilates with the goal of toning your body without bulking up or gaining weight. You might also take up dancing. Enjoy!
