I am 12 yrs. old, almost 13, and I weigh about 130 and I am 5ft. 1 1/2 inch. tall. I have been told I am not overweigh, but I feel I am. Does anyone know if I am, and if so then how to lose the weight fast, but safely?

DO THE SAME!! swimming does incredible things for your body!! it's good because it doesn't put any pressure on your joints, and it makes your heart stonger, builds muscles which will lead to more fat burning...it may seem hard at first but DON'T GIVE UP NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!!!! i wanted to, but i didn't, and i've apparently really changed (i look like i'm 115, but i weigh 130 because of muscle)...good luck!!!
