No: Do you feel comfortable at this weight.? If you do, stop worrying and continue what you are doing. Great job by the way. Make sure you eat enough protein so as not to lose muscle mass as you lose weight. Keep your vegetables and fruits going as well. Again keep up the good work

Good for you!: Hey, I'm really glad to hear this. If you are able to keep up in sports at your particular weight, and feel good about your body, then your weight is fine. Bodybuilders may be "overweight" or even "obese" while gold-medalists in track and field are "underweight." Common sense should rule here. Enjoy being an athlete, and hopefully it'll be lifetime fitness for you. Best wishes.
