i want to tell you that i am 5'3.25" and i weigh the same. What you are looking at is probably muscle-muscle weighs more than fat. look at yourself in the mirror and you will see someone who is not fat, someone who is athletic, it sounds like you exersize. If you start off with a negative look at yourself you will never get anywhere, remember to love the curves, someone who is stickly skinny is not always the prettiest, it can look unhealthy. Just simply eat good foods, and exersize that is the best way to become healthier!

Do yourself a favor and smile in the mirror. Look at the gorgeous face staring back at you! i bet you have wonderful values and big contributions to the world. I know that you are determined to loose weight, but it is impossible to that without learning to accept who you are. Its a mental thing that helps A LOTTT!!!

Your EXTREMLY FAT? wow I've never looked at a 140lb person and just looked at my friends and said hey look at that fat whale over there!! Girl, your stressin' to much and your bein way to hard on yourself. The reason your having trouble losin any more weight is your metabolism is to low, to bring it back up high eat 6 small meals a day, trust me it works. good luck and plz dont be so hard on yourself.

I'm not going to try to tell you that you're fat or not because I know that doesn't do much good. I'm just going to give a couple suggestions to help you do what you want in a healthy way.
Eating healthy and getting a fair amount of activity and enough sleep and avoiding stress can all help.
However, ask yourself something: are you FAT or do you have a lot of muscle? If you're got a lot of muscle, you're definitly not fat, the muscle just gives that appearance. And, (I know you probably won't like hearing this, sorry about that) if what you want to lose is muscle, I don't think there's a good way to do that, not one that's healthy.
If you find that it's not muscle you want to lose, then plan to start eating somewhat smaller portions of healthy food, choose dried fruit over chips for snacks etc, but don't starve yourself. Getting enough sleep and avoiding stress are huge helpers, the more stressed you are, your body actually retains weight, and if you're sleep-deprived, the same thing happens. I know, school leaves a lot of stress, but if you can find a physical activity that relaxes you, that can be your "de-stresser" and you'll be getting rid of some of the stress and getting activity at the same time.
:) good luck

First of all, you're not fat! 143 pounds for 14 years old is NOT that much! But if you still think so, try these tricks:
-Move whenever possible. Instead of taking the elevator, take the stairs. It'll give you a little buzz, and if you get into the habit, it could actually benefit your health!
-Substitute Snacks. Think to yourself: am I really hungry? or am i just thirsty? If you are thirsty, drink some water, or milk even. If you really are hungry, eat a healthy meal, or a healthy snack, like a granola bar or fruit. It doesn't have to be bland, mix it up with fruit salads, yogurt, and even smoothies!
-Get more self confidence. If you feel bad about yourself, think about all he things that are on the inside. Are you a great comedian? friend? artist? Instead of looking at the negative things about yourself, put things in a different light.
-If you're not losing weight still, don't go crazy and start being anorexic or bulimic. Thats not the answer. Your body at 14 might be in an awkward stage, so just eat right and excercise, and see what happens. In your early teens is when you'll prabably gain he most weight. But if you stay positive, you'll reach your goal.
