    It depends how you carry it. I'm 4'11 and 99lbs, but I still have all me curves and stuff. As long as you feel good then it doesn't matter ;-)

    I'm 5'4" and 115, because I'm bulking. When cutting I get below 112 and look fabulous. It all depends on how you carry the weight.

    Btw, there will always be somebody who comment about your weight, whether you are 112 or 150. If you like it, and your doctor isn't concerned, then I don't see the issue.

    Short answer: depends on your frame size and your natural set point.

    Hard to say for sure with no photo, but I would imagine that you look fine. I am 5' 3, 3/4" and am aiming for 113, possibly down to 111 because I gain almost all of my weight in my stomach. I don't look too thin at that weight. Even at the weight I am at now I sometimes hear that I am too thin, but I know that's just because so many people are overweight, so it doesn't seem normal. If you feel healthy and aren't hungry, and are still in a healthy BMI, don't worry too much about it.

    Don't put too much stock in BMI. it's a mathematical hack of limited use that even the person who made it provided it with the disclaimer that it wasn't meant to be used as the be all end all judge of obesity and wouldn't apply very well to anyone who wasn't highly average.

    If you want a real look at your own health find out your body fat %. That is a much better indicator than BMI. Don't use the impedance scanners tho they are rubbish. Finding someone trained with the calipers isn't that hard though.

    Do you have an eating disorder? If not, why worry?

    It's impossible to answer this question without seeing a picture of you, knowing your frame, and knowing how old you are.

    My mom is 5'4". At 50 years old, and with a wide frame, she would be emaciated at 112 lbs. My sister who is, also, 5'4" would be at the very lowest possible weight to be healthy. She has been 115, actually, and she was very thin. But not nearly underweight or emaciated. She has a pretty slim frame and is 25.

    I'm 5'3.7 or 163 cm, and I'm around 101 pounds... I'm UNDERWEIGHT and I still think I'm fat because of the love handles and bat-wings. Gotta lift. And remember, our ownself can do the negative talk more than others, so maybe you are thinking way tooo mucha nd being too harsh on yourself. I'm trying to gain weight as well by lifting. goodluck!

    can you see your bones?? if so then yes. I am 5'5" and got down to 122 once and everyone freaked out on me saying I was too skinny. I now look back and I really was. I just didn't see it at the time because I had worked too hard to get there.

    No you're not, don't worry. That's in the health BMI range. I'm 5'8" and weigh less than you.

    Is 5'4" female at 112 far too thin? My family is very concerned, but maybe I'm not seeing something clearly? My brother said that I look anorexic, but I didn't feel that thin. My boyfriend thinks I'm a good weight. I'm getting confused and nervous about people thinking that I have an ED.

    I realize that the BMI puts me in normal range, but does it look too thin?

    Thanks for your insight.

    I don't think so. As long as you are healthy and have energy, you're fine.

    I am 5 ft 4 and although I am 42 now and 126 lbs, when I was in my 20s I was always around 105 to 110 lbs. I remember some people telling me that I was too thin, and others no. If you are eating good and feel good, you have to go by that. Every one will always have their own opinion. My goal weight is 125 because I feel good at that now at my age, but my frame would allow less.

    Someone else mentioned frame size...this is huge! I'm 5'4", currently weigh 143, and am a size 4. I look sick at less than 125. So for me I would be crazy sickly thin at 114. But your not me your you. Would you say you are large medium or small framed?

    This!

    I'm 5'4, 136ish. I have been 125ish in the past but I didn't feel good and I was pretty weak. On my frame, 136 looks good and I'm happy to stay here.

    Depends on frame size.

    My daughter's aunt who has a teeny-tiny frame looks healthy and good at 5'4" and 104 pounds. Someone else at that height and weight might look horrible and be very unhealthy.

    Without seeing at least a photo of you, I couldn't say if 112 is too low for you. What does your doctor think? Are you starving yourself to be that small or do you eat normally and just happen to be small? Have you always been that small or have you lost a lot of weight?
