| 5'4". Around 130. I'm not small boned and I prefer to have some curves. When I was 115-120, I just didn't like how I looked. When I was 140-150, I also didn't like how I looked. |

| 120 or a little under. Currently 125 and I don't think I look bad, but I feel more comfortable a little under this weight. |

| 137 and it’s too high. I was 132 most of my adult life and was always trying to get below 130. At age 50 I can’t get below my current weight unless I cut all carbs and sugar. Sigh. |

| Around 120. I'm pretty muscular with broad shoulders and defined arms, larger thighs, medium frame. I don't look much different at a lower weight (i just tend to get bonier in the torso) and at this weight I can basically eat whatever as long as I stay active. |

That’s way too low for me. I weighed that much after a bad break up in my early 20’s and looked sick. I’d like to be around 130. Right now I’m 145, but eating very poorly, but will working out etc. I’ve come to learn over the years the same weight looks very different on people of the same height. |

BMI should be close to the bottom of normal |

According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, a healthy weight for a woman who is 5'4" is between 110–140 pounds, with a BMI of 19–24. A BMI of 25–29 is considered overweight, and 30 and above is considered obese. |

I’m 5’6, pear shaped and a 34C/32D. My ideal weight is 137-140. At that weight, I’m a size 8/28/M bottom and on 4/6/S on top.

BMI is a flawed metric and it’s not worth stressing yourself over it. I’m the PP who is 5’6 137-140. I’m Black and thank god don’t have disordered body image issues that are so prevalent among white women. I’m fit, I’m strong, I have fantastic health metrics. Low BP, great cholesterol, low a1C. My BMI is 23 and I have zero reason to be closer the “bottom” of normal. I am as healthy as can be and far more robust and capable physically than I would be if I weighed close to the bottom of normal. At 120 pounds or less I would look skeletal, which is why all the white women my height and that weight look 10 years older than me. |

| For me, realistically 150. I’ve been as high as 198. |
