I am only 4'10". I currenlty weigh between 117 and 120...depending on the contant flucuation. I was truly 99 pounds in my younger years. Even then I was not fully toned and had some "fat". I reached a max of 140 pounds. I know for many people 120 - 140 is "ideal". Not if you are barely at or over 5 feet tall. Even at 120 pounds AND riding AND strength training my % body fat is 30% (not good) my BMI is just now 25-ish (normal). So by no means am I thin or anorexic. When you are short, a little poundage means a lot! Yes, I see folks cringe when I say I need to lose weight but wear a size 6. But then again, I am not even close to average height, why should I be an "average" weight or size? Hope this explains things a bit. I am truly trying to lose weight for body fat%, BMI, health and cuz I see the fat around my tummy! Good luck to everyone! At any size weight lose or keeping it off is a lot of work!
