The link doesn't work (due to the final cap "L" in the address).

I love the height/weight site. No, I don't think 115lbs will be too thin for my height. Thanks for the visuals!!!

Wow everyone but me is so thin!
How do you all do it?
Natural genetics or starvation or what?
I was thin only when bullemic/anorexic.

I think that is about right. I have a friend about 5"4 or 5"5 and just under 110, people always tell her she is too skinny. But I think that is because America has an obesity crisis and that is actually totally normal weight. Obesity in this country has skewed "normal" upwards so that what is actually normal seems too thin.

Obesity in America is not just from the bad eating habits, and lack of exercise.
When good salad greens run betwixt 7 and 14 dollars a pound......poor folks will opt for 14 or more pounds of pasta for the same price. That is why the poor are often much heavier than the well off or wealthy folks.
As to 115 pounds being a good weight;
again,
it all depends on muscle ratio and bone structure.
A small framed fragile body can do the low weight just fine,
but a more muscular person will be healthy at a higher weight.

I know, Lexx! Fruits and Veggies are not subsidized by the government. But someone said that this would give the government even more power.

It really sucks the cost of fruits and vegetables.
If I were rich I'd eat like crazy any/all types of greens and well any vegetables raw, steamed, you name it!
Fish too.
And berries.
Sigh.
The other issue of veggies is e-coli etc. contamination.
So much of our greens etc. comes from South America.
How does one sterilize raw veggies and fruits?

ooops sorry off topic.....

With me it's genetics. Men and women in my family both tend to certain characteristics, one is being tall and thin (gaining weight around age 50, though even then it's not much). Though I'm sure my diet (I don't starve myself, but I don't eat a lot and I tend to stay away from junk food & fast food) and very active lifestyle contribute to it. Growing up in Texas I learned to not to be afraid of sweat and now I LOVE the sauna so much (especially the part where I get out, take a cold shower that shocks my system, and get back in) that I probably actually melt fat off.

But I usually ignore it when I hear someone is fat. Basically any woman who doesn't look like a little girl is considered fat. Like Sabrina Bryan, who was fine when she looked like a kid, but here where she looks like a woman a great many were calling her fat:

Seriously, that's insane, even at first glance, let alone at watching them dance. The fashion industry has succeeded in brainwashing way too many people (because such insecurities makes their products much more sellable).

My very good friend is 5'6" and according to BMI she is overweight and sometimes borderline obese.

Meanwhile, she walks 20,000 steps a day, she runs and goes to the gym. She wears a size 10 and she runs 5k's and 10k's routinely. Right now she's in training to run her first half-marathon which I think is 13 miles. Looking at her you'd never think she was unhealthy. She looks very fit. I think she fluctuates around 170-180 pounds.

oh yeah - I'm 5'10". When I was younger and weighed 125 pounds I was SUPER thin but it was natural for me back then so I looked healthy. The modeling agencies wanted me to lose 10 pounds, though. Ridiculous.

Now a good weight for me where I still look and feel really good is about 155-165 pounds. (new year's resolution!)
