I doubt your overweight, beca
I doubt your overweight, because I'm 5'3-5'4 and I weigh 130, and I am not overweight. Or at least I don't consider myself any larger than anyone else 'cept for the scary skinny kids.
Maybe because you're stressing out about your weight?...
The only things I know to do are really simple - if you drink pop, stop and switch to water, and don't chew gum. It makes you feel hungrier than you really are, and water fills you up more. (and pop makes you add on a couple pounds.)
I don't exercise all that much (unless you count the occassional DDR and walking from one class to another) but I don't eat too much junk, and I've stopped drinking pop unless we go out to eat, and I've only gained ten pounds in the last 6 years.
Or maybe it's just a growth spurt?? (I've heard of freakish spurts after you're pretty much done growing)
and last, DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT, and do not compare yourself to people around you.
maybe this is just one of those weeks where you feel fat, bloated, and ugly. Get over it sooner or later, 'cause only the skinny people obsess over their weight.
I agree with EGLolita
I mean, I'm like 125 and only 5'1", and I'm not overweight for my height. I don't look or feel fat. Though I could get more excercize, eat better, and sleep more, and while some of that might make me lose some weight, I'm not really stressing about it. The main concern for me is that I'm not taking as good care of myself as I should.
Don't worry about your weight. You are by no measure overweight. And don't listen to your mum either, OK?
Are you hanging on to something useless just because you think it's beautiful?

some tips from me ;)
i think, you should refrain from eating in fastfoods because most of their foods contain a lot of carbos, A LOT!!! and if you dislike eating veggies and fruits, you should start eating them so that they can eliminate the excess fats through defacation...and try to drink tea after eating, so that you wont feel bloated, and it can help you get rid of the fats too!!! goodluck!

BMI...
The Body Mass Index is not a measure you should use when you are a teen. It is meant for adults, since at your age your body is still changing and it wouldn't be accurate.
As you get older, your metabolism slows down. Although, again, at your age it shouldn't be anything noticeable yet.
Just avoid refined products and switch to whole grains (whole wheat pasta instead of white flour pasta, brown rice instead of white, whole grain cereals instead of refined stuff, etc.). And just watch sugar and fat intake, they hide those on nutrition labels really well by putting four different kinds of sugars and stuff in, so that they don't have to list the first ingredient in a product as being sugar (since they are listed by volume).
And, of course, exercise more. If you can walk somewhere instead of drive, or ride a bike, do it. I definitely think it is easier to lose it now, when it is a small amount, rather than waiting until you have a lot to lose.

Losing Weight
Well I think it's very normal to go up and down in weight as teenagers. I don't think you are over weight for your height but if you want to loose weight don't loose too much. When I want to loose weight I cut down on sugar and carbs and start jogging or running more often. Try sit ups or crunches for your stomach, oh and running if you didn't know does wonders for your thighs and ass.
GOOD LUCK :)

^ that one is made for teens.
however, bmi only gives you a glimpse at what's healthy for you. To really go into that,you'd need a skin fold test done...and it's not worth it.
Only lose weight if you think you would be healthier at a lower weight. Lose it the right way, and you'll benefit. Check out
www.mypyramid.gov
even if you're not from the u.s.a. that might help. To lose weight take in less calories then you burn off. If it says you need 2000 calories, take in 1900 possibly. You seem to be at a healthy weight though.
Well...
I don't think you are probably over weight. I'm 5'7" and weigh 120 lbs, and I’m really skinny. But I know that feeling like you are starting to get just a little flub around your stomach, I’m have the same feeling, but I wouldn’t worry about it. If you really want to cut the extra weight I would do like crunchers or sit ups and run. Not only will you lose a little weight it’ll make you feel better over all too, relives stress. Also the whole cutting pop or switching to diet can cut a fair number of pounds. That’s as far as I would take it though. Maybe I should start running? I could go for a better ass.

Another thing you can do is get a punching bag. Not only does it relive stress and anger, but its a great workout.
