[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

She’s definitively not. She’s mad because she feels thin but the BMI chart says she isn’t. The BMI chart is right. If she feels thin and likes herself, that’s cool, she shouldn’t care if the BMI chart agrees.  But she does, so we are letting her know, the chart is telling the truth that your weight is high for your size. [/quote]

BMI is crap. Google it. You don’t have enough information to say she’s “definitely not” thin. You do sound like you just enjoy being mean. [/quote]
