    first, you have to know that the BMI index is flawed and a little outdater. It does not tke into account any muscle that is giving you that weight or your age. I would say that if you are concered about it, talk to your doctor. and if you dont have one, find a site that will tell you your ideal weight so you know how much you 'should' weigh. But remember, not everyone is the same and you may weight a little more than that natually. Or, you could just try to go back to the weight you were before you start taking the medication.

    i am 4'10" and at 126 pounds it was considered overweight. a healthy range for us short girls is between 90 and 115 lbs i believe.
