This is me. All through my 20s up to now, my mid 40s, I've had people remark how thin I am. But I'm short and petite so 112-115 looks perfect on me. My body seemed to naturally settle at that range. I always realized these were compliments but it always seemed like an odd remark. Now in my mid 40s, I am mindful of creeping weight gain that happens to women, so I do 5:2 intermittent fasting for a few weeks at a time to keep my weight at 115 -117. I'm a light and healthy eater anyway, but this helps me to maintain the desired weight range at middle age.

Pp is right. I'm 5'3" and 140. I could lose 5 pounds but I wouldn't want to go lower than that. I work out a lot, have a lot of muscle which weighs more, and a stocky build. I would get sick if I tried to get to 122.Anonymous wrote:As you see, there is a range, because height isn't the whole story. If you feel healthier with the extra weight, that may be where you need to be. I'm 5'3" and would look and feel terrible at 116. I'm usually at 122.
