hey jenna um.. i weigh 139 and im 5 foot 4 inches and the doctor said that i'm right at my weight for kids my age , but if i wanted to lose 10 more pounds i will still be at my age group .so i was like well would that make me underweight she said no cause if i was going to be 100 that will make me a little underweight. when i was 10-12 years old i was 154- 164 pounds and i was 20pounds over the weight limit for kids my age . so i know you can do it and never give up and only lose enought that would not make you underweight so goo luck.

by next summer you would be 16 and 100 would be too light. I am 16, and just barely 5'3 (ok so maybe more like 5 feet 2.5 inches) I am 122 pounds and I am like a size 2, my stomach is pretty flat, (in the morning it is perfect but by night it is in flated and more round)so don't strive so low.
