what do you think should be around the right weight for me? im 13/f about 5'2 or 3 idk, around 100 lbs going up or down(it depends on the day). i'm pretty thin i guess, but i dont like my thighs or lower stomach.
You are actually a little below the 'healthy' category when you weigh 100 pounds. But since you said that your body often gains and loses some pounds, your BMI can go from 17.5 [underweight] or even up to 18.5 [healthy]. Even if your percentile is 17.5, it doesn't mean that you are sick and have anorexia, or anything, it just means that you could stand to gain some weight.
&& For your thighs, do lunges and squats every day. For your stomache, lay on your back, and put yourself in a 'crunch position'. Come up to your knees, and cross over with your right elbow to your left knee, and your left elbow to your right knee, then start a bicycle maneuver, and 'pedal' in the air as if you were on a bicycle. Remember to stay commited to these workouts, don't just expect to see results in a few days.

Your Body Mass Index [used to calculate a healthy weight] is spot on - though you weren't too specific, so you might even be a little underweight.
Thighs are generally inherited, and aside from commiting yourself to a serious work-out routine, there isn't much to do but love your body. I guarentee that whether it be a mother or lover, someone out there does.
For tightening up the lower stomach, do a few crunches [not quite sit-ups] per day. Keep your breathing steady, go at your own pace. You can do them in front of the television; they're not too strenuous.

I did that for you and you're right in the normal weight range for your height. No worries about your body, I bet you look great!! [ cinderelly's advice column | Ask cinderelly A Question ]
