BMI is not always a good indicator of proper weight.

I'm 5'5" and weigh 142 pounds. That puts my BMI just barely inside the normal range. But I only have 16% body fat. According to the chart, at my height I should weigh between 115 and 145.

Ask if they can check your body fat percentage with calipers as it's a far better indicator of proper weight.

As far as pinching an inch, I still think it's a good initial indicator. When you're standing and you pinch yourself at the waist, you know if it's skin or fat that you're getting.
