well- starting at 5' you are supposed to be 100lbs add 5lb for every inch after and you get 125. or so the rule goes. maybe work towards that and see how you are you might have to weigh more to be healthy depending on your muscle/bone mass. good luck- i'm working towards that too.

if u are muscular, it says the weight thing doesnt count...like im 200 pounds and 5'10 and the doctor told me the 180 is the lowest i can get down to, i play lots of sports, and so ask ur doctor...
