Am I overweight?

I'm 15 years old. And weigh 132 and I'm 5'2. Am I over weight?

No, you're in the optimal range

No, you're at a normal weight.

 
The average weight for your age and height is 105 to 115 pounds, so you might be a little overweight.

If you are concerned about your weight and think that you need to lose a little ten consider this:

 
'How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?'

 
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.
