I Feel Fat Am I Over Weight

That's 140 pounds.

Are you male or female?
If female, have you started menstruating yet?

from your name, I'm thinking you're a girl.

If you are very athletic, you are probably very solid.

However, at 5'3" I'd say you could loose 20 pounds.

BTW, is it normal for someone who uses stone as a weight measurement to use feet and inches as a height measurement?

The important part is if you are healthy. I know at your age other children can be quite cruel, especially where looks are concerned. Eat right, exercise and don't worry about your weight right now. You have a lot of time ahead of you and some of that weight comes off during growth. Be happy with who you are because in the long run, that is what really counts.

Here's a helpful thread on the subject - especially the first several pages:

This struck me as odd too...

I would use stones, feet and inches, as I am of an age when Imperial was the norm, but a 13year old would probably use the metric system.

I could be wrong though.

I think they still use Imperial, Sarah.

My young niece was round at Christmas, and she had a posh diary as one of her presents. She went to fill in all the details at the beginning, and wanted to know how tall she was.
I got her to stand against the wall and used the retractable tape measure, calling out the height in centimetres, as I thought she would want it that way.
She looked quizzical, and asked how many feet that was.

I think that stones and inches are a bit like the mile and the pint over here. It'll take decades to get rid of them, if not longer.
