I'm 5' 1", what do you all think would be a healthy weight? When I was 110, I wasn't happy with that I know! I have a tiny frame.

    If you were not happy with 110, give 105 a shot. That would be pretty slim.

    How about instead of figuring out your ideal weight, you figure out your ideal body fat % and work towards that? It is possible to be skinny and have high body fat%, and maybe that's what's making you unhappy.

    I am 5'1 as well and the healthy weight for me I have been told from my doctor is between 97 and 133 pounds.

    I agree with monitoring your body fat % - you can calculate it so you might work out what is best for you, but also measure neck, bust, waist, hips, thighs and upper arms and keep track of it. It's amazing if in conjunction with the scales. GL :)
