Yes, Lose it!: Heather, unless a typo and you meant '120', the answer is definitely yes. Get on an exercise program, and a low carbohydrate diet, avoid processed and fast food. Obesity is associated with 'Metabolic Syndrome', Insulin Resistance. At your age, you can experience menstrual irregularity, difficulty w/ getting pregnant; and Diabetes, Hypertension and Stroke early in life!

Yes, overweight.: Based on the information you provided your BMI is 40.2, this would be classified as obese. This puts you at risk for developing a number of diseases including diabetes. The "ideal weight" for your age and height is between 123 and 140 lbs. This is only a calculation and does not take into account your individual circumstances.
