Hi Flubber my current BMI is 22.9 ish I think at 8st it would be 20.5. I know to many this seems at the lower end for someone 5ft 2 but my lower end BMI is 18.5 ish around 7st 3lb so I have chosen midway point for target. Also I am of Asian (Indian) ethnicity and BMI is calculated at a lower rate for those of Asian ethnicity. I am small framed too so for me to look slimmer I need to lose more fat especially from hips and bottom area! It is amazing how fat distributes itself so differently on people and hence weight is irrelevant in one respect. My friend is the same height as me but weight 9st 10lbs and is a size 10 at that weight. I am a size 14 to 16 at that weight!???
