Anyone else under 5ft?

I feel my "ideal weight" for height is a little extreme and don't know if I can ever be in that BMI of "healthy". Kind of discouraging. Even at my smallest, was considered overweight at 129

4" 11.5 ft : )
I'm personally not a huge fan of these general numbers that dictate if we should feel comfortable with our bodies or not. The BMI tells you nothing of your body structure, or how you feel.

Just think, even a pound or two can make us look significantly different (us being of shorter stature and what what!). If you want to track numbers, pull out a measuring tape, but more importantly, watch how your body changes for the better in the mirror as you continue to work hard.

Don't let one simple computation spewed out by the internet tell you you cannot be "healthy".

Also 4 foot 11 and a half! However I look sickly at 110. I have to stay around 120 to avoid the "Bone bag" look.

You're lucky! I wish the 'bag-of-bones' issue was my problem. I got more of a 'cement block' build to me (yay to having a non-existent waist......).
I like to think it means I have a good amount of muscle on me~ haha.

Pffff, muscle is sexy!

I'm 5'1" but I feel like my suggested weight of like 105 to 125lbs is just too little. I think I'll sit happy around 140 pounds. :]
