[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually 124 for a woman who is only 4’11 is definitely not thin. You may not look obese but I would aim for around 114lbs. [/quote]

Agree. I’m 2 inches taller at 5’1 and the only times I’ve weighed 124 were my first pregnancy and during college when I drank all the time and ate like crap. I look best around 105 so no way does 20 more lbs on 2 fewer inches not look at least pudgy. 110 should probably be your max at that height. [/quote]

It depends a lot on build.  I'm 5'0" with a wider frame and I look too bony under 115 or so, and don't even menstruate under 110.  My ideal weight is around 118.  My mom is the same height with a smaller frame and at 115 she looks a bit bulgy.

BMI is one indicator, but it's not the be all and end all.  There are too many other factors.[/quote]
True but you’re somewhat of an outlier and even then OP is shorter than you and weighs 6 lbs more than your ideal weight which is objectively rather high for someone so short. She looks chubby probably and the chart reflects that. She is a high weight for her size. [/quote]

OP said that she felt and looked pretty thin. You come on here and tell her anonymously there’s no way she’s thin. You just sound like a kind of unpleasant and unhappy person.[/quote]
