ladies 5'7" - 5'9" 17 - 22 years, what is your BMI and size?

You're right, stashie, BMI is not always a good indicator of healthy weight or health in general.

But that is only to be applied to high BMIs. Someone with a BMI of 28 could either be overweight or very muscular.

But a low BMI always reflects low weight (and poor health).

The BMI formula reflects weight/height.

There's no way to mistake low weight.

I'm 24, but if you tell me I'm too old I'll just go crawl off into a corner and die. :-(

I'm 5'7.5", 128 lbs., BMI 19.7 and at this weight I wear a size 3/4 in most brands of American jeans. If I knock off 5 pounds (123 lbs., BMI 19), I'm a size 1/2 in most jeans. My hips are somewhere around 37 inches right now, for reference.

To the lady who is 5'9 and 148 pounds with a BMI of 21.9 that is me exactly. Except that I wear a size 6 dress size and 4-10 jean size (I never know what size ill be I wish everyone used the same sizing chart) I did have a BMI of 21.7 and weighed 140 but that was before I recovered from anorexia. Im trying to have a less warped self image of a no one regardless of weight is fat but me and I need to change- mentality that I realize makes no sense when stated but oh well. And for anyone on this site who has had an eating disorder i feel your pain its really hard to do anything normal even when you start eating again (or not throwing up in the case of bulimics) And I think bulimics should not suffer in silence. So much effort is going to fight anorexia but bulimia is just as serious because either one you can die from. On a happier note though I love my body now its just a question of having trouble eating like a normal person. So I can say I like what I see in the mirror for the first time in my life Yay!
