Plenty of healthy people have that weight and height, but most aren't in this overweight country!

Relax, OP, it's fine.

Yes. Although at 115 and 5'1 I have a little flesh on me and could probably get to 101 and have no flesh left. But I'm 2 inches shorter and each inch should weigh an extra 5lbs.

Underweight according to BMI. Why do you ask? Is this your weight or a person you're worried about?

is it the same poster(s) constantly creating the weight threads? i mean, we all know anything about weight and eating habits is like moths to a flame on DCUM.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on whether or not the woman is this weight with a good diet and exercise routine or if she is hurting herself to achieve it.

I could not weigh that much without losing muscle, so no, for me. For others, if they have a small frame or little muscle? Sure.

Depends a lot on bone structure. Some people are very petite, others are just short with a normal bone structure.

DD is 5'7" and 112. So while thin, it's fine as long as you're healthy.

How old is DD? You have her weight very precisely.

I'm 5'4 and 110 and have a little flesh on me but not much. I could probably lose 5 pounds. I was 105 before getting married and looking back at photos I was THIN. Losing 10 pounds would be a lot I think. Someone who is that height and 101 is THIN and not just because we are in America.

I'm 5'3 and looked better around 105. When I dropped below that my face started to look gaunt and my ribs and collarbone were pretty prominent.

Damn yes that is TINY. At my wedding, I was 5'4'', 130 lbs, tons of muscle, and wearing a size 2. I cannot imagine ever weighing under 120.

When my 5'3" DD got down to 91 owing to a chronic illness (not an eating disorder), I had to go through a huge mental adjustment to process that it was possible she could die at any time. Mentally, I decided I could stop worrying when she hit triple digits.
