Weight loss options and approaches.
I am a professional model. As my career advances, I think to myself. The head of the agency said I should have a 32" waist, a 34" bust size, and be at about 100 pounds. I am 14. I do lots of fashion shows. I hope this will help you as you advance into this profession.
ANSWER
I would recommend a BMI around 18.5-19.

So for instance if you're 5'7" then 120 lbs is pretty good. I thought about modeling but I realize my rib cage is too large (which makes my waist look too wide). It is much more difficult to model if you're shorter than 5'7". My sister has done some modeling; she is 5'11" and about 135 lbs.
I think in the answer above she meant 32" at the hips, 26" is more typical for the waistline if you have a 34" bust.
