first off how tall are you? I mean u must be a short if your overweight and ur only 115.. Im asking because im a 5'1 and Im a 135 and that is considered to be a moderately overweight.. so if your a 5'1 or even a 4'10 115 is fine..

How tall are you? That will help figure out your appropriate weight.
It also depends on you frame or bone structure. To find out your frame type: Place your thumb and index finger around your wrist. If your finger overlaps the thumb, your frame is a "Small Frame". If they touch, your frame is a "Medium Frame". If they do not touch, your frame is a "Large Frame". For example if you are 5 feet tall your weight could be normal from 107 lbs. for a small frame, 115 would be about normal for a medium frame and 123 lbs. for a large frame.

Dieting can be harmful, and most often leads back to the weight gain.

You most defineteley want to keep exercising. Lift some weights, muscle burns fat. The more muscle you have the faster your metabolism, and the more fat you body burns. Have you parents let you talk with a personal trainer. Do not worry, lifting weights will not make you look like a guy. You can actually tone your body and improve your physique.

If you have a sweet tooth, avoid simple sugars such as candy and soda. Try eating an apple or pear. There are many reasons why this will help you. Eat about 5-6 small meals per day, it will speed up your metabolism, and this help burn off fat.

It is hard to eat clean, being free of processed sugars, but your body will love you for it. After a while it becomes easy.
You and your parents can PM me.
good luck with the wieght, I have been involved in personal training and sports for years. I will be glad to help you.

it really depends how tall you are, i'm 95 pounds and 5'4, but i kno plenty of people that are 110-130 pounds, like my best friend i think she has the same problem as you, shes 5'2 and 115 pounds, no one thinks shes fat but its a self concious thing, but i don't know if it's the same for you. studies say for a 5'0 13 year old female, the avergae weight is 115 pounds.
