If you are asian or extremely thin boned go ahead and subtract 10 pounds if you must

Where do you get that from? A healthy BMI at 5-5 goes up to 149, not 138. I am 5-5 and my goal is 135 - at 113 is about the lowest I've ever been, and that was under a ton of stress in grad school. 125 would be wholly unrealistic for me to maintain.

I'm also 5'5". When I dropped down to 112/113 in college my friends were telling me that I had lost too much weight. When I was younger 20's I looked best between 118-122. When I got into my later 20's my weight would creep up into the 140's and I would knock it back down to the 120's. By my early 30's my weight stayed right around 142. Then I had two kids and I gained a lot when I was pregnant. I was able to take most of the weight off after the first child - I was exercising and hitting the gym and I was a solid 148, I actually looked pretty good. Then I had the second baby and and I've been struggling ever since.

I would be happy to get down to a fit 150/155. But I wouldn't be disappointed if all I got to was 160 something. I'm 53 years old now.

Watch an old movie. Women were THIN. Having a lot of fat on your body isn’t healthy. You should aim for 120-125.

Women in old movies didn’t work out. Many women these days do, and muscle weighs more than fat by volume. Better to have some muscle and weigh a bit more than be skinny fat.

No way I am buying into any excuse of it is not ok to talk about weight and tell your teen they look perfect for themselves at 40 lbs overweight. Sure, 1 or 2 or even 3 chubby teens is normal, 30 out of 40? You are failing your kids.

Yeah but your face is probably haggard at that weight.

Nope, I was blessed with a round face. My mom was a beauty in her youth, and has an even rounder face. She was so good looking that DS didn't believe this was his grandma when he saw her wedding pictures. I do not think that my weight is all that, to be honest, I think sadly that sometimes I have too much nervous energy.

Very little muscle mass. Skinny fat.

Some people just can't stand not finding something wrong? Why so negative? I have muscle mass and good too. I do yoga several times per weeks and cardio. I build muscle without even trying, I walk a lot. But, I am also honest that I have a lot of nervous energy. I eat very healthily, fish, lean meat, ton of veggies, good carbs most of the time, but I don't deny myself many treats that a lot of pps here say they can't have. Why does there have to be something negative with being healthy weight? My side of the family is like me, for the most part. Maybe it is genetic, maybe I am a nervous mess and that keeps me at a healthy weight?

You are a size 6 at 205?

No. That pp was saying that when she reaches 150 she's a size 6.

Ahh, got it. But that is still probably an 8 or 10.
