overwheight or what?
I went to the doctor a week or two ago, and they measured my height there (with my shoes off), and said i was like 5'3 and then the next week we measured ourselves in p.e., and the coach said i was 5'1. I'm guessing the doctor had it right because they are professionals. But, then when they weighed me i was the same (101). Do you think that is overweight for 5'1 or 5'3? Also, i have a bunch of stomach fat, any idea how to get rid of it? I run everyday but that doesn't help.

According to height/weight charts, most marathon runners are obese. Muscle weighs much more than fat, after all. Height vs. weight is a very poor method of determining body fat.
If you're trying to shed belly blubber, you're doing the right thing; running is good for that. You might add sit-ups and/or crunches to your routine as well; they don't burn much fat, but what they do burn is exclusively around the tummy, and they tone the stomach muscles nicely. Your doctor may have other good advice.
Incidentally, why not just take a tape measure and measure your height yourself it you're curious?

That is not overweight at all.
If anything, its underweight.
If you are 5'1, you should be about 108, and if you are 5'3-you should be 115.
