No, you're not fat by any medical definition.

If you don't like your body shape, don't concentrate on cutting the pounds if you are 130 pounds ... maybe focus on exercise that will tone your muscles, especially your stomach muscles. If you slouch it will make you look like you have a belly when you're really quite fine with your weight.

You are just fine. At your age just like who you are. Dont get lost in that worldly stuff ... they are all mixed up. In real life a genuine smile goes a long way too. Not those practiced canned ones you see all those teens doing. Relax.

Stay away fram tat's too ... lol.

Good heavens no! Stop comparing yourself to those waifs in movies and magazines who live off of licking the inside of chewing gum wrappers and water. You are very well proportioned.

Dont be silly of course not!!! Dont you think a woman is more sexy if she has some curves than if she is a stick. Gosh I hope that didn't make me sound like a smart *** lol But seriously your fine. I understand the whole weight issues with us women but I HATE it when my cousin gos around saying Im fat I need to loose weight Im like if I hear that one more time Im gonna loose it She is almost 6 foot and she weighs 110 if that. It gets to me sometimes cause Im 5'4" and I weigh 160 so what must she think of me? But anyway I like the way I look and that is all that matters.

I think you have a healthy balanced weight , not too thin , not too fat . You can go to http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/ and find out what is the appropriate intake of food you should be eating according to your weight , age , and height

No, I understand about worrying about your weight. I haven't been a teenager in years and yet I still worry, though it's not as important to me as it used to be to be "thin". Try not to focus on your body so much, rather focus more on who you are as a person.

Sounds great to me. I am 5'3" and weigh more than that, and people say I look good. I tend to carry my weight well, and I consider myself having "a few extra pounds", but anyway, that sounds like a healthy weight to me.

Your BMI is 20.4 "normal," and closer to the underweight end of normal than the overweight end of normal. Of all Americans who are 5-7, 90 percent of them weigh more than you do.
