I think that sounds ok. But it is difficult b/c everyone carries weight differently. If you have a pudgy tummy, that is not good. If you are evenly proportioned, that is good. Or if you are athletic & strong, then you probably have a lot of lean muscle & muscle is heavier than fat. Therefore another girl the same size as you would weigh less if you have more muscle than she does. The best person to tell you if you are in your healthy range is probably a nurse or doctor. Or you know how in P.E. class they measure your body fat percentage ... that is a good way to know if you need to be more active. Be healthy, have fun & be active, but don't become obsessed. Most boys don't like a girl who looks like a skeleton.

well I think that it all depends on where you are in your growth. For an adult, this weight would be more acceptable. I'm about the same height as you but I weigh about 20 lbs less, but I am on the skinny side and I could also imagine myself at your weight and being perfectly healthy. Also it depends on how you carry your weight...are you muscular or is it fatty tissue? If you are really concerned, go to your doctor.

No, you aren't. I calculated your BMI - put you at 5'0, and 117 pounds (since it's between 115 and 120), and your BMI came out to 22.8.
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
You're perfectly healthy as far as weight goes.

That is actually the right weight for your age and height. You don't need to worry about losing anything. Your weight is just fine! ^.^

Yes you are fine! Remember if you feel confident on the inside it will show people you feel good about yourself on the outside!
Enjoy your summer!

you are about 10 lbs over. not to worry, it is probably baby fat. kids don't burn it off for another year or two
