Anyways, it shouldn't matter whether or not we consider your bodyweight to be high, what matters is how you feel about the way you look, because it's YOUR body.  Dropping to 135lbs still keeps you within the ideal range for your height, but if you are unhappy with the way you body looks I would try to incorporate strength training into your routine rather than the classic diet/cardio combo girls usually turn to. Strength training will NOT make you bulky, instead it will make you appear more lean and toned. It will also allow you to burn more calories at rest, so any extra fat will be easier to lose. Good luck!

Your not fat by any means according to what you claim to weigh. But if your unhappy with your looks, instead of asking people to cheer you up with saying "no your not fat" you should join a sports team, a dance team, use the wii fit, or find a activity that will keep you active and the weight will just melt right off and leave you feeling more confident than anyones comments/concerns every will. You must find yourself to be great just the way you are before other people are going to. Much luck to you.
