Question:
Answers:
Well Yes you are overweight But Good news you can change that.
It can be as simple as just smaller meal portions , and avoiding the fast food deep fried but every now and then indulge but just keep it to a half order.
it doesn't have to be a big lifestyle change but you do have to make a few different choices.

Yes, I think you are. So am I. I've been going to Weight Watchers with my daughter. You would need a doctors note if you are under 18 but everyone there is non judgemental and helpful. I love the support and they teach you to EAT well not to avoid food by drinking shakes. Best of luck with your weight loss. Remember there is no magic cure it takes time but I don't think you have that much to lose.
yup
Yes unless you are very muscluar then you are fat.
No you're not fat.
Sometimes it feels like it when all that society emits is size 0 girls, but that's a pretty healthy weight.
Yes. I am 13 and I weigh 90.
go to Google and type in "body mass index calculator" there, you can findout if you are scienficically overweight. The BMI is a common system for finding this out

I was the first to say it
NO ONE IS FAT! i hate that word and i hate when i hear people call eachother it, or call themselves it..
it isn't that bad. i suggest that you try to exersize and do simple things. one thing that iv learned is to only eat when you're hungry, and stop when you're not hungry anymore . it means a lot. i eat all the time and then i regret it later.
i am 5'3, 107 pounds, and im 16.
you are slightly over the ideal but you are young and still growing so not really something to worry about.
Check out these sites! They give some good information about body types/size related to age and weight. They also have some cool calculators that help you figure out how many calories you burn doing certain exercises and how many calories you need to burn/take in a day to reach your desired weight.
Hope this helps!

you can go online and look that up. Just type in something like height, weight proportions.
well if you want to get skiney by good food and exercies every day. and if you put your mined to it you'll be skiney in know time. if you hate to exerices reword yourself for exericeing it mite work. NO! what it will work you just got to stick to it and run run run.
you have a little baby fat but nothing compared to how obese you are going to get if you start doing fad / starvation diets and ruin your metabolism. At your age you can easily reverse the process by learning healthier eating and exercise habits (research in the library or talk to the P.E. and nutrition teachers at your school). Also talk to the school nurse or your doctor about your ideal weight because many girls your age are too skinny, and while you may be a little heavy you are probably nowhere near as heavy as you think. Most women in their 30's snd 40's would love to be back to their high school weight, but in high school they thought they were fat.
Tubby or not tubby, that is the question! Overweight is a relative term. it depends upon the norm you want to use. by life insurance industry standards, perhaps yes, But if you are a farm worker than perhaps not.
It also depends upon the fat to muscle ratio. many slim gorgeous females are very heavy because they have a lot of muscle. muscle weighs more than fat. so you should worry more about your health than weight. you are fat for a ballerina.You should check your fat ratio and try to keep it under 22% to be healthy. the best way to do this is to get weighed on a special scale that weighs you in the air and then floating in water. this gives the fat ratio as fat floats. I think a healthy girl with good muscles that is 5 feet 6 inches tall can carry that much weight and not be fat.

WHAT to eat for losing weight
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.
* Print these lists. They will be your . "Bible", from now on !
* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.
* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)
* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.
• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)
* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!
* Avoid fat meat
• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!
• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits
* Don't cheat . NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc!
* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication. They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !
• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta. you know!
* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.
* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!
* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads. with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian).
if u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs
1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.
2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.
3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.
4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.
That is a good place to start. if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you. if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer
Keep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours
the most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want
you might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com
good luck
Yes, you are very fat and need to go on a diet and start exercising.
Are you overweight? Maybe. I have to ask this though, who's weight are you over? Are you healthy? Are you happy? What does it matter if you have a little pudge? You will probably grow out of it. 13 is a rough age, I know. The more active you are and eating a good diet can help with weight loss. I would suggest that the next time someone says you are overweight ask them this: Who's weight am I over? Best wishes to you sweetie. All will come out right in the end.
hell no wat r u thinking im 5'2'' and im 145 so u got 4 inches and like 20 pounds
