Well, I'm about 5'3" and I'm, well, a little bit above that. I am curvy, and while I definitely looked better at 115 lbs, I don't think I look completely horrible now. I think that there are other things that factor in, rather than just a mere height/weight comparison. Body Mass Index (BMI) comes to mind.

I guess you're not getting a straight answer because there are more variables than that.

But what do YOU think? How do you feel? If you feel healthy (*truly* healthy in terms of what you eat and how much exercise you get), then I wouldn't be overly concered.

I would say you do not need to lose weight. You are well within normal bounds. Do you think you need to lose weight?

My doctor would say you can be any where between 115 and 130 (at that height) and still be considered healthy and right on target.... she says it is up to each individual as to where they fall with in there - due to where your personal fat/muscles tend to gather.

Me being at 5' 2" (short) - I like to be around 115 to 120.... for if I go any further up the scale my hips will get fatty and stick out way to far.


LoVe,
