Am I overweight? How much so?

I am 14 years old, 5 ft 5 in, 140 lbs. am i overweight? I definatly am not skinny and I don't have one of those "delicate" frames. If I am overweight, how much weight will I have to lose? (also, I exercise every day for about an hour...I do soccer, dance, yoga, volleyball, and I work out at the gym.)

Answers:
I was the same size as you at your age - my caveat to you is to eat healthy and excerise, not diet. I started yo-yoing as a teen and it has not been good for my health. Talk to your doctor and/or a nutritionist re healthy food choices and work out 3-5 times per week. It sounds like you are very active already...

Other Answers:
You are fine. DO NOT DIET--it is bad for your health. Your brain is still growing. Do not ever diet under the age of 21 without the help of a doctor!

The most important thing is good health. Keep exercising, and enjoy it!
If you are very active than that is your body type. It will be hard to change that. Also you are at an age where you're body is changing. Just keep on exercising and eat healthy and you will be fine.
i'm very sorry but it does sound like you are a bit over weight. But if you are mostly all muscle and not all flab i guess it is ok
alright if you want to know your BMI (body mass index) go to deathclock.com and itll tell you if youre underweight,overweight,or average. but from what you said you probably have nothing to worry about most of that weight is likely muscle. and dont worry about your weight so much its bad for your complexion
Ideal body weight for women is as follows:

100 lbs + 5 lbs per inch over 5 ft

+/- 10% of that is your ideal body weight range

So for you, you should be 125lbs +/- 12.5lbs
making the range 112.5 to 137.5 lbs
I don't know but I weigh 108 and I'm 5ft. 4in. but I have a fast metabolism I think it's in the eye of the beholder but you should feel good about yourself no matter what .
you seem very active so just keep exercising. i think since you are still going through puberty, you should still eat healthy...dont worry i weighed almost 150 when i was your age....after i turned 18, i was able to lose over 30 pounds.
