The subject line says 5'8" and 140 lbs, which, according to  your BMI calculator, puts her in the "normal" range.

5'8" and 140 sounds pretty fine/average to me.  Anyone who says otherwise probably has an eating disorder or body image issues.

You people need to be concerned with overall health.  It's about eating healthy and exercising regularly and otherwise enjoying things in moderation.  And even then there are no guarantees.  I had an uncle who was one of the most fit people I have ever known who died of a heart attack at 59.  We were all shocked.  He had been in the armed services and used to bike hundreds of miles.  Not an ounce of fat to be seen on this man.  Meanwhile, my great-grandmother was totally obese (the woman liked to eat butter...straight!  Ick) and she lived well into her 80s.

Stop judging books by their covers.  Stop obsessing about weight.  You'll be happier.[/quote]
