    I don't know. I'm not quite 5'2 and pretty petite. I'm currently about 110. When I was less than 105, I was too thin. Now I have muscle and think I look great, and I don't think it'd be bad if I were 115. Even though I am about 10 pounds heavier than I used to be, I still fit into all my clothes, so...it's muscle. And I'm happy. I think you should probably not be trying to lose any weight and be focusing on gaining muscle.

    I'm small myself 5'2", i was at 110 and i looked great but i lost the weight due to illness and now i look thin and feel tired a lot. I started a few weeks ago to gain weight back.
    I agree with the above, you shouldn't be looking to lose weight instead gain muscle. you can look great at 108 :)
