No duh, Sherlock. Pointing out the obvious. It was hurtful though XD

None of my friends have ever mentioned it, but I would find it very hurtful if they said that. *hugs* That sucks.

I really do not know whether or not weighing 119 pounds when you are five foot five is overweight or not, but, like Lena said, if you want to lose weight, do it the healthy way. I hope everything works out for you, I really do. *huggles* Please be safe if you are going to lose weight, Meera, because nobody would want anything to happen to you.

Meera, your BMI is 19.8 which is in the 55th percentile. Anything between 5th and 84th percentile is healthy. You are perfectly in the middle, ok? You're very healthy (:

I know but I have one of those really weird figures that doesn't look good unless I'm super skinny. People randomly call me fat even though I'm "normal weight" so I take it with a grain of salt. I won't be satisfied until I'm under 100lbs but everytime I go to "work out" I simply can't do it and end up eating kettlecorn and playing video games.
AT LEAST I HAVE BAND PRACTICE.

That sucks that people call you fat. Seriously though, you sound a perfectly fine weight the way you are. I know that if you are worried about your weight it is hard to get over it, but you don't need to worry about it.

I think that's a pretty normal weight for someone who is 5'2. I don't know for sure, but I think 120 pounds is average for someone your height.

I'm attempting to work on it. My weight has been stable for the past two years, despite me getting taller. I think that's a good sign

@Alice: I used to be the same height and weight as you in muddle school and then I started getting taller but not wider... the same is probably gonna happen to you as well
