140's a good weight for that hieght. mirrors are funny- it depends what angle they're at and what lighting you're in. i refuse to even look at changing room mirrors in wal mart because they're bent and make me look disgusting- it probably depends on your mood too. but i think that's a good weight. i'm 5'5" and that's my goal for christmas...

It depends. Im 12 and 5'3 and 140 so im like 1 or 2 inches shorter than you! If you think you look "bigger" than rent some excercise tapes and drink lots of water with fruits and vegetables! seriously this works- for some people I just started this routine today and my friend was on it for a while 2 or 3 months she lost 22 pounds! I feel so happy for her! Anyway popularity isnt on how you look its your personality!
