[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]

Agre.. I'm 5'6", and I look best at 115-118.[/quote]

Sure. If you think anorexia “looks best.”[/quote]

I am also 5'6" and look best around 130-135.  125 is too skinny on me.  115 would be gross.  That said, 124 on someone who is 4'11" certainly sounds overweight to me, but I have never seen OP and could be totally wrong.  It is like that website where you can type in your height and weight and see all different bodies.  There are people with the same stats and some look great and some look fat.  Different people carry weight differently.  Ask your doctor OP.  [/quote]

I'm 5'6" and around 120 and I am not overly thin. I have a medium bone size,  I lift weights and do regular cardio, I am not skin and bones.  I am a size 2-4.    Do I think I need to weigh 115? No. But I also definitely would not look "best" at 135.

In part, the BMI thing is probably bothering the OP because at that height she can fit into lower sizes (because the material can go mostly out, it doesn't need to go up/down), so it doesn't make sense to her if she can fit into a size 2 how she can be overweight?  If you feel good, your blood work and blood pressure are fine, stop checking your BMI.[/quote]
