    I just search BMI for your height 5 foot 5 inches and the normal weight range was quite broad 112lbs (18. 6% BMI) to 149lbs (24.8% BMI)

    Yeah thats the issue. Too broad of a spectrum. I guess that could be good, but it doesnt help me with my perfectionist personality.

    Ask your doctor? It's dependent on lots of factors, including your frame size and body fat %. Just get to a place you are happy. There's no such thing as an ideal weight for everyone.

    if you are in the healthy range, then the ideal weight is where you feel best. I don't think there is a right answer anyone can give you, we are all different it would be impossible to say based on height and weight or even other factors the exact pounds that would be best.

    I looked at your profile. It says you're trying to maintain your 19% BMI. I'm saying this out of concern - you should maybe evaluate why you're so concerned with what your ideal weight is. I certainly don't think you need to go any lower.

    Consider bodyfat % not weight
