Hey. I am 5'0 and weigh 96.4 pounds. Is this healthy? I really would like to get down to 90 because I feel really fat even though 96 doesn't sound like THAT much. Do you think that is a more healthy weight for me?

According to the Body Mass Indicator, your weight is at the low-normal range for your height. At 90 pounds you'd be underweight. This is only a general indicator, of course, and doesn't take into account bone structure or muscle mass.

The healthful BMI selection for a 14 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old boy is sixteen - 22.5, this is 82 - a hundred and fifteen lb for 5'0", so he's at a healthful weight, and no the place close to obese. Please ignore approximately many of the above me, they are going by employing a BMI of under 18.5 being underweight, this could be actual for an person yet no longer a 14 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old boy.

You're perfect right where you are. I would not attempt to lose weight to get to 90 lbs. That's too low for your height.
I'm 5'2" and I always weighed between 100 and 110 in my teens and 20s. In my early 30s, I got down to under 100 and I looked like a skeleton. People who hadn't seen me in a while would gasp. You don't want to look too skinny AND most importantly...it's unhealthy.

If you were to get to 90 lbs, that would be pretty thin. To weigh between what you weigh now and 100 lbs. would be perfect if you have a petite frame. For a medium frame you add 5 lbs, and large frame, another 5 lbs.

ideal weight for 5'0 is 102-128 so I'd say you are fine how you are.
