If you are able to do all the things you want and feel good doing them, then you are probably at a healthy weight regardless of what some chart says.

Start looking for a new Doc acording to the BM that most doctors use now days you are in the normal range being 5 foot tall and 115 lbs puts you at a BMI of 22.5 that is in the normal range.
If you want to take a look at a bmi chart i have put a link to one in the source box.
Good luck findiong a new doctor.

at 5'0" you should weighwithin 8 pounds of 100 . so, you are indeed a little overweight. However, being a size 1 or 2 in pants means you are just fine. Sounds like your doctor needs to mind his own business, unless you have diabetes or another health issue.

How old are you? I think your doctor sounds a bit misinformed, so I would get a second opinion. Clearly you are very slim if you are wearing a size 2. I'm thinking you probably have a lot of muscle, which BMI doesn't take into account and neither did your doctor by the sounds of it. HTH : )

It sounds like your doctor needs glasses, or needs to review what the guidelines for classifying overweight are. Your BMI is in the healthy range. Go find a doctor that gets that.

I'm 5 feet also and my doctor wants me to gain weight til I'm at 115. I think that's about the max you want to weigh, but it's within the limits; you are not overweight.

Dr.s usually go by a 'chart' of sorts to tell you if you are over or underweight. I think it is a bunch of BS! I think they need to look AT YOU and your lifestyle and diet to tell you if you are overweight or not. From what you said, you do not seem overweight at all. I have the opposite problem with my dr....everytime I see her she tells me I am underweight! and I'm NOT she is out of her mind. they shouldn't look at the number...they should look at the person instead. Silly doctors.

You're fine.
