    Is it a fat distribution problem or a muscle problem you are having?

    You may have a distorted view of your body. We're about the same age, and I think young women (and women in general) often have a distorted view of what they actually look like. Before you continue to lose any more weight ask friends and family what they think and maybe see your doctor. From your picture you look gorgeous! If you're not completely happy try lifting and resistance exercises which will give you more definition and lower your bf%
    If you continue to lose weight you may find you still aren't happy with yourself and develop an eating disorder especially since you're already a pretty low bmi.

    Same here! I'm 5'3, and now weigh 50.7 kg, approx 112 lbs. I thought I'd be glad, but that darn belly flab is still there so I'm not happy... I'm thinking about exercising, simple stuff like walking/running and push-ups, sit ups, etc. Hopefully that will help out and get me the results I want.

    It took a while for my mind to catch up with my body. I wasn't thrilled at first (I just didn't know what to think/couldn't see it in the mirror) but now I'm very happy a few months after arriving at my goal. :)

    Yep, 5'4" and I'm at my goal weight of 126, but really disappointed with how I look. I'm going to aim for 119 for now and see how I feel where I get there. Absolutely minimum I will let myself go is 114 before focusing solely on exercise, but will also introduce weights. Fairly sure the problem is I only started exercising a few weeks ago.

    Body composition ..you possibly need to work on your musculature with a progressive resistance programme
