I shall say this. I refuse to accept the BMI chart...It doesn't take into account bone structure.

I'm 4'11" and it says I should be roughly 117...I weigh roughly 150 or so...

My dad's side of the family are all technically 'overweight' so I have no hope of getting as low as 117 without some sort of surgery.

I like to go by pants size...I used to be an almost 20 and lost down to a 12 in less than 1 year. I am now officially in the 'average' range for lady's pants sizes...

See if this helps, Kali: http://www.webmd.boots.com/diet/calc-bmi-plus

My aunt has to shop in the kids section x'D seriously.

when i was 15 i was 150 (i haven't grown since then ;o;) my doc said that it was a good weight range for someone of 5'2"

Not really. It still doesn't take into account family history factors. (and it still says I'm Obese)

*sits in thread*

i dunno my waist size and i am NOT getting my measuring tap to find out D<

family things like thyroid problems and other things add to the weight ono mom has thyroid problems

Yeah. I just hate having to go by BMI because it really hasn't been updated in years, and it doesn't take family history into account. So it's more just putting down women around the globe...

... *turns away*

Someone can't handle the lady chat?

No... just don't want to hear about weight... bc u should be happy no matter how thin or large you are.

Tell that to the people who created the BMI chart and those who feel 'models' for 'average' person should be twigs...

Yeah... they were stupid...

And yet, that's what 'beauty' is today. That's what is has been shaped by, and that is how women are to be perceived. They are overweight or obese unless they are pretty much twigs.

Pfff I like any one... I don't care about body type

HOW THE CRAP IS 150lbs A GOOD WEIGHT RANGE FOR A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD FEMALE AT 5'2"? D:<

I WANNA KICK THAT DOCTOR'S BUTT BECAUSE THEY HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! D:<

O.O At 15 I was almost 200 and my doctor was telling me the normal weight for someone at 5'2 (which was/is my height) was between around 120-130ish.
I'm still over 150
