Good Lord! If that's what your parents say to you, gee, I'm really sorry. I have two daughters and I would never say that to them. If I thought they were overweight I would just start cooking differently and change the eating habits of the household.

But anyway, for a person 5'1" with just a medium size frame, the proper weight is around 115-120. But it could be a little more or less. But really, it's more about if you are comfortable with yourself. And also, are you healthy? If you really aren't sure, see your doctor to see if you need to lose a few pounds. But if you think you are fine, ignore your parents and don't worry about it. You don't say how old you are. That also makes a difference.

One last thing. What are you? You are you, and you are not defined by your size. So whether you need to lose weight or not, it's more about who you are, not about your weight. And even if you are overweight, you certainly are not seriously overweight. Don't get really worked up over it. Cutting out soda (drink water instead) and desert and walking 30 minutes a day would be enough to lose just a few pounds and be healthier anyway.

And never let another person define who you are.
