I'm 5'4 and have weighed everywhere from 119-180 in my adult years. I like myself the most at 140 which is a size 4-6 on me. Leaves me some T&A and have a flat tummy. At 120 my bones showed and though I was thin I didn't look healthy! I want to be healthy and fit not skin and bones.

This is an excellent example of how bodies can differ at the same height and weight. When I weighed 140 I was wearing a 10-12! At 119 I'm wearing mostly 4s with a few 2s here and there. And I am far from skin and bones.

Agreed. In the 130s, my body was sloppy to me and in the 120s I was okay, but not anywhere near the level I wanted to be. At 108, I'm thin but I'm also healthy and fit, not skin and bones.

I started at 139 on the left and I'm 108 on the right here.



At 139, the weight didn't suit my frame at all. I didn't carry it well and it all went to my lower half. My breasts were never any bigger than a 36 C. I'll never have big breasts no matter my weight. At 108, I'm more balanced. I may be thin to other people, but that is where I'm comfortable and where my body easily allows me to be. I went from 139 to 121 in a bit over two months with ease.






On the right I'm 126, on the left I'm 109. As you can see, most of the weight lost was from my stomach area, then all around. I prefer to have visible abs because that's the look I like. I'm strong and active, I eat well (1900+ to maintain), and don't feel like I'm suffering in any way whatsoever. This is just the way my body was built. I don't look anywhere near skin and bones. 139 was overweight for me whereas 139 is someone else's dream weight at 5'3" and they could carry it differently.

There's give and take between 10lbs. And like many have said, you might look super thin at 120, or you might not. I'm 5'4" on the head and in these pics I was 128 on the left, and about 137-140 on the right. There are some things I like about the lighter weight (easier to dress myself, slightly less self-conscious), and some things I like about the heavier weight (I'm stronger, joints feel better, better libido, I can eat more, my butt looks better, I like my face better).

Strength training also helps here. As you can see when I'm clothed, there is not a huge huge difference between 128/138.
