Seriosuly, did someone say 110 pounds!?
gurl, you are skinny =]

yes that is a perfect weight!

Why are you worried about your weight at your age.

This site: http://pediatrics.about.com says "A 14 year old (female) child who is 140 pounds and is 5 feet and 6 inches tall has a body mass index of 22.6, which is at the 81th percentile, and would indicate that your child is at a healthy weight."

Stop worrying about you weight and get on with enjoying your swimming and your life :-)

Not fat, a little on the bigger side for your height you can check by doing a search on BMI and enter your weight and height. You could also be muscular which is good.

140 for that height is good especially if youre a swimmer because im sure you bigger and stronger leg muscles.

You are not fat. However you are slightly overweight. An ideal weight for you is somewhere in the neighborhood of 110 pounds.

ur so fat..
im 5'9 and i weigh less than u

Im a Certified NCSF Personal Trainer. It is impossible to tell you if you are overweight without knowing your body fat %. But from my experience, you are not to bad off in weight. Your ideal weight should be around 130lbs., But then again if you have a big bone structure, you might be very healthy right were you are at? I have seen and trained a lot of women, that are really low in weight, but have horrible body fat %. If you are staying active and not eating bad food, I think you are very healthy! Your body fat % should be between 25%-38%.... you want to stay near the lower end though ok. this is the average healthy BF% ..Your goal is to be under this though. you Can go as low as 12%. If your a swimmer than you should be in the 12%-20% range!!! hope this helps ya....
