Hey everyone. I have a friend who’s trying to lose weight, currently she weighs 108 pounds but she is only 5ft tall(maybe even 4’ 11). Her goal weight is 94 pounds. I dont know why but to me that seems too low even for her height. I mean she is obsessing with getting to that weight. What do you guys think is that a good weight target for her? or is it too low?..btw she is very small build.
Re: ideal weight
Try the BMI calculator, that will give you a better more scientific prespective
Re: ideal weight
I am 5'6" and i weigh 115 lbs and i don't mind losing 10 more pounds.:)
When you are obsessed, there seems to be no limit. See, after my third baby, an year ago, my targeted weight was 130 lbs... But when i got there, my weight goal changed from 130 to 120... and now, even at 115, i would be more than happy if i will lose 10 more.

108 pounds, I don't think it is over-weight, by getting down to 94 pounds is underweight for a person with the height that she has , any one under 4ft 108 is still o.k but some lb of is still ideal.
Re: ideal weight
I think a 100 would be the lowest she should go
i'm 5'2 and when i was 100 i was underweight according to my doctor
