    Okay, in my opinion you do NOT look 180. I am 5'6" and have a similar-ish body type and I weigh about 140. So to give a wide range, I would say you are probably between 135-150. Pictures can be deceiving so don't be offended by people if they say you look 180.. some people are bad at guessing.

    Also, I totally understand wanting to be skinnier, the media makes all girls feel like their bodies aren't good enough, which is a shame. But also, you are 13 and you are still growing. It is not bad to want to be healthier or get in better shape, but don't concern yourself too much with your physical appearance. I know its wayy easier said than done, trust me, but your body is still changing so don't worry about it too much! You're beautiful :)

    The important thing to remember it, you can't influence what other people think of you, but you CAN change what you think about yourself. So think positive things about yourself and don't waste your time breaking yourself down. You will get a lot farther in life and be much happier.

    I think you're around 160. You can go to myplate.gov something like that and find out if you're in a healthy weight range. Even if someone doesn't have health problems, it doesn't mean they're a good weight, they still might be a little bit overweight or underweight and it can cause problems for the future. There's a certain weight range that you should be in for your age and height to kind of use as a guideline. You look fine, don't worry about what other people think.

    You are only 13 and you still growing up, it is not the right time to look at your weight right now because no matter what you do now, as you grow up, you still be mirrored to what ever your other family members look like - weight wise. At that age you still have this so called "baby fat" and it's normal for young girl like you. Right now I guess u can't be more than 150 lbs. hard to tell through picture.

    You look around 150-180 pounds, a bit of weight loss might help but you don't have to!

    I agree with you that friends are so likely to say things to be nice. According to the guidelines given by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services a 13 year old at your height and weighing 135 pounds is overweight. So I guess what the people are saying that are guessing you are 135 pounds is that you are overweight.

    If you want to eat a little better you can loose some weight. Then, you friends might be able to say something better than you look "fine" & say you look "great!".

    The rule of thumb for a female upper limit is 100 pounds for someone who is 5' high and ten pounds per inch thereafter. I'd say you're pushing the limit, especially considering you haven't quite reached an adult body structure yet. Perhaps you would consider going to your local health food store and getting a bottle of Hoodia Gorgoni. I find one pill per day takes about a 1,000 calories per day off my appetite.

    About 150. Your body looks older than a 13 year old.

    Around 150-160. But you have boobs and a bit of meat on your bones... You definetely don't look fat/chubby to me. Don't worry about it!

    I would say you were about 130lbs,If I were you, I wouldn't lose any as long as I was healthy. I think you have a nice shape. Plus your only 13 so I wouldn't worry about it or let anyone make you feel bad.
