Doesn't seem odd to me at all. The old rule used to be that for the first five feet you get 100#, then for every inch over that you get 5#. So at 5'3" you could go as low as 115 and it still wouldn't be odd to me. I'm 5'4" and my goal is to get back to 118. My range is 118 - 120. Only my mother has ever said I was too thin at that weight.... until I asked her how tall she was when she got married (5'4") and what she weighed (118). Then I said, if it wasn't too thin for YOU, why is it too thin for ME? LOL No more comments.
I just looked up a weight chart... for your height:
5'4" (with 3# clothes and one inch heels)
114-127 small frame
124-138 medium frame
134-151 large frame
If you took the 3# off and weighed naked, that would be
111-127
121-135
131-148
Oh... and about that guy's comment, you should have said something like, "If you need to be rude, you shouldn't be here." LOL
I told my first person that I'm on Atkins today.
She's a good friend and we were walking and talking... and we met on a South Beach diet forum, so I felt weird not telling her. She's lost 97#!!! She was cool about it.
