What would you consider thin at 4'9? I am currently 104 pounds but feel/look so much heavier. My goal weight is 95 pounds. Would you consider that thin/healthy?

    Based on BMI, you could get down as low as 85lbs and still be in the healthy range.

    No idea

    because you could look slimmer with decent musculature and a higher weight than you would at a lower weight but no musculature

    The NHS BMI calculator gives a guideline healthy weight range of 85 - 116 lbs based on your age and height.

    Where in that range is ideal for you will depend on your bone structure, amount of muscle, etc.

    Wha? 4'9" and 90lbs is well within the normal weight range.

    Rather than weight, try to pick ideal measurements. Someone with more muscle may weight more but look leaner than someone who doesn't have much muscle.
