Everyone's going to give me a thumbs-down for this, but whatever....
You could probably stand to lose 10 lbs. All the BMI people are like "oh, you're healthy, don't worry". Probably true, but I imagine what you're worried about is your appearance, not your health. Most models and actresses have a BMI of 17.5-19.5. The numbers those other people so like to refer to are based on national averages from insurance actuaries. And the average weight in this country is "obese", in case you haven't been reading the news lately.

Your BMI should be between 20 and 24.9. (And a woman's BMI is naturally higher than a man's and should be about 2 points more. ex. male--18 BMI, female--20 BMI)

My guess is that you're ideal weight. Many women have a tendency to think they are fat. It has little to do with your size, more to do with society's obsession over superficial beauty.

That sounds fine, you have a BMI of 21.9 and anywhere between 20 and 25 is healthy so you're right on track! :)

don't stress. you are great. Take it from me. I'm 27 and have stressed my whole life about weight. It's such a waste of time. Looking back, I did look good. You'll see one day what I mean.

you are a great weight. You are not under or overweight. However if you are uncomfortable with your weight, you could still loose a bit and not be considered underweight...
the "normal" weight range from someone who is 5'2'' is:
101-136 pounds

Here you go:http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
I used your numbers and it said you are normal, but go ahead and check for yourself.
Your profile does not read like someone who would obsess about your weight, just be the unique individual you are meant to be!

Seriously...do you need attention that badly? See, that is what is wrong with the world today...girls think that if they are not toothpick thin then they are fat! it is just RIDICULOUS! Seriously...I would say that you are very proportionate! Get over your phobia or whatever it is that you think that you are overweight!

The numbers sound average but it's all about how/where you have the weight.
