Hiya... i guess i'm pretty far away from most...
well... here goes...
I'm from Singapore and you guys can call me yuki =) I'm only 15 years... (16 in 2009) and i guess i'm pretty short around where you guys are... i'm like... 161cm... i guess around your area it would be 5'3"? i think... and i'm actually of pretty average weight... but... i'm fatter than most my friends so i think i should lose some weight... i'm about 56.7kg... so that would be about... 125 pounds? yeah but most of my friends are like 40+ kg... (88 pounds...) and i even have this friend who is like 7 cm taller than me... and weighs 4 kg less
well in my family... i'm the only kid that is fat... my parents are sort of fat... i guess... but my sister and brother aren't! T.T... yeah but the funny thing is... my mom is fatter than me... (she's like 137 pounds...) and about my height... and she claims i'm fatter... not to mention she makes fun of my weight... always claiming she was like stick thin when she was my age... (not that i've seen any of her stick thin pictures.)
well so yeah... my bmi is 21.9 currently and i hope to bring it to about 19 by my birthday next year...

so maybe some stats
Current
Weight: 125 pounds
Goal
Weight: 100 pounds

Hope to make some friends around here too =)

You aren't fat or short. (I'm 5'4" and that's pretty average) Your bmi is actually very good too. ^_^

Also what part of singapore are you from? I have a friend who goes to Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine there

At 5'3" and 125 pounds you are not fat, you are not even overweight

Hi Yuki - welcome!

@dizzysoi: er singapore doesn't really have parts... i've never heard of that school before though...
@bargoo: i didn't say i'm fat... but i'm fatter than most of my friends... so i guess it makes me feel a little out of place... =)
@tomato: thanks =)

i guess it's a difference in cultures, but where I'm from your considered a healthy weight that many girls would envy. we even have a great word for it...bootylicious

Actually you did say you are fat, you said it more than once. 90 or 100 pounds for a goal is really pretty low for your height.Why not try for 115 which would be about the lowest healthy weight for your height?
