[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re supposed to be 100 lbs at 5 feet and then 5 lbs for each additional inch. [/quote]

I think it's more like 10 lbs for each additional inch. For instance I am 5'3 and 115 would be underweight from a BMI standpoint, 5'3 130 is right in the middle of "normal".

Unfortunately I have been more like 10 lbs for each additional decade since high school, lol.[/quote]

I don’t think that’s underweight. Unless you have a large frame. I know grown women are going to weigh more than teen girls but my daughters are 5-4 and 5-5 and are 110-118 range depending. My 14 yo is slim looking but in a very average unremarkable way. My 17 yo is 108-110 and might hover at lower BMI (she always has though, I swear her bones are hollow) but my 14 yo was right at 50th percentile for height and weight. I could see an adult being her exact stats and having her body and can’t imagine that being underweight.

Also I’m 5’8 and when I was in my 20s I was 135 and that was great for me. I am also fine at 150-160, and wish I was any of these anymore lol so feel your pain.[/quote]
