It's a good weight to keep.
You can get more exercise if you want just by going outside and enjoying a sport.
But if you can maintain that weight it's good BECAUSE you will grow into it and look stunning!!

It all depends on how you feel about yourself.Don't let others dictate how you feel about yourself.You'll find people who love the way you look and others who dislike the way you look.So just focus on what you think.
You can also measure your skeletol frame as follows
1)take your right hand around your left wrist
2)try to touch your thumb to your middle finger.
3)if it touches at the tips you are medium,overlap you are small,and not close at all you are large
A small frame will typically be 10-15 lbs lighter for your age and height,and a large frame will be 10-20 lbs heavier
I hope this helps

I think you are at a very healthy weight and loosing 15 pounds sounds a little much. If you would like to you can go on the inter net and find free sites that tell you your healthy weight limits and BMI (body mass index), all you do is punch in your weight and height and it tells you where you stand, good luck!

I'm 16, 130 and 5'3 and I think I'm overweight. But for me I think I'm just self conscious because I used to have a lot of muscle from dancing and now its all flubber. You seem really average, I wouldn't be worried..I think losing 15lbs is a little too extreme. Maybe weight lift or exercise certain hot spots on your body to firm them up if flab is your problem...that may help raise your self-confidence, otherwise I think your good. I calculated your BMI, which is a way to figure out if you're overweight/underweight or normal. This is where I went, http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ and you got a very low normal rate, almost underweight. so i think you're good =)

On the Body Mass Index Chart that I have you are just fine sweetie! Don't forget that you are still very young and growing. For 5'2 a healthy weight is 110-130 pounds.
Hope this helps. = )

I think losing between 10 and 15 pounds would be a good idea for your body mass index and age. It's good that you have high self-esteem! Remember to just eat healthier and lots of fresh air and exercise is best!

it's not bad, and 15 lbs is a little excessive. as long as you're eating healthy and doing a little exercise, you're fine. you don't want to do anything dramatic at your age beyond staying healthy, but get into the habit of doing crunches/push-ups/running now and you'll be great, especially in the long run.

Your target weight is 110 to 115. You're just about right. :-)
The way you figure it, is, begin at 100 pounds for a five foot tall person. For every inch over five feet, add five pounds. This is just a general rule, give or take 5 pounds either way.

My daughter is thirteen and he or she is approximately one hundred twenty lbs. and looks great. She lost some kilos purely by ability of dropping soda and french fries and no ingesting after 7 p.m without workout. do no longer lose desire and save on whether you're making a mistake purely proceed the following day.

DON'T LOSE WEIGHT. You are at a healthy weight for your height. So calm down, don't go drastic about losing that many pounds. If you really want to lose weight, go to your doctor, and ask if your weight is healthy. NEVER lose weight if other people say that you are fat, because you aren't, and trust me, I have the exact same measurements. Lol. :)
Hope that helps.
