Many doctors and nutritionists will give a weight, but forget the bone structure. 5' 2" and you are petite (small boned) you can weigh 100 lbs - 105 lbs 5' 2" medium boned you can weight 110 - 115 lbs. 5' 2" large boned you can weight 118 - 125 lbs. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat and bone also can weigh. If you are slightly over 105 lbs. (and if you are petite) don't worry about it. You can lost 10 lbs. easily if you get the flu and are dehydrated. Sometimes it's best to have a little added meat on your bones than being too thin. Here is rule of thumb: 100 pounds up to 5' and 5 more pounds for each inch. Example: I am 5' 6" tall so I add on 60 lbs. over the hundred making me 160 lbs. For me (being petite) that's too much weight and I feel better being 138 lbs. - 145. That's trim, but not thin. Exercise is also important and 8 glasses of water a day, plus a well balanced diet.

I think depending on your bone structure about 108-115. My daughter is 5'2", 17 yrs old and weighs 108 and looks fantastic but any more weight lost would look way too thin. She has a very small bone structure. She was 130 at her highest when she was ill and has changed her eating habits and exercises every day and looks great and most of all feels wonderful, full of energy. I on the other hand have a large bone structure so my "ideal" weight was way to thin for me and made me look too skinny. Go with what feels good to you and what makes you comfortable. I introduced my daughter to sparkpeople.com a free site to teach you about living a healthy lifestyle. You can also log your food and count calories, fat and carbs etc. It's a wonderful site for someone who's looking to get healthy, lose, gain or maintain weight.

It doesn't matter. I am a healthy 17 year old girl and i weigh 135! Your beautiful no matter how much you weigh, so don't base your looks off of your body size everyone is different and muscle weighs more than fat.
