Cause I'm 5ft So technically I could be smaller and still be healthy.
No, you're already healthy now. I'm worried about you hun, you just seem to eat bran flakes and apples and you excercise LOADS. You're already thin and you're small. Someone who is your size and is a foot taller is going to be heavier. If I was you in your situation, I'd just mantain weight rather than lose more. If you lose much more you'll be blown over every time the wind picks up!

What's the minimum healthy weight for 5ft?
My parents came to visit me at uni today and both said that I looked v.slim but don't want me to lose anymore weight although I could probably weight quite a bit less and still be in the healthy range. Oh well. I've lost quite a bit of weight since I started so will be happy to maintain what I am now as I put on weight v.easily so my maintenance daily calorie limit is pretty low anyway.

Screw that weight/height chart! It depresses me no end, because to even reach my max weight i would need to lose another 3 stone. Screw that! Ill lose weight until I am happy with what I am. Ive lost like 5.5 stone already. I aiming for 7 so...

Thats exactly how you should be doing things. For a lot of people i've seen in practice for weight loss advice, achieving a normal BMI is impossible.
If you can reach a weight your happy with thats all that matters.

That's amazing! You should be so incredibly proud!!! Screw the chart lady!
My max weight on that is 12.5 stone... I weighed that late end of 2006 and I'm still wearing the same clothes as I did then... I also weighed that when I was 15 (same size clothes!) but I have a LOT more muscle than I did then and am fitter... Bodies are weird, especially mine :|
Right, Tufts this isn't a rant at you i promise - i'm just trying to get some perspective here.
Now i'm 5ft1 - so one inch taller than tufts. I'm a size 10-12 and i'd say i'm probably a bit of a pear shape. I believe i'm around 9 stone - probably a bit over, so in theory i probably need to lose a few pounds to be within normal bmi range.
Now, i think i look healthier like this than i could ever do, if i was a size 6..
I know every body is different and all that malarky.. But i defintiely don't look overweight (though i feel it with the amount of food i'm ingesting at the mo ) and nobody would ever consider me to be overweight..
Ideally, i think somewhere aorund 8 and a half stone would be the best weight for me.. so i've got around half a stone to lose.
But i just really can't see how 7 stone or a size 6 at my height is even healthy? I wouldn't be able to give blood for one.. and i don't think i've been a size six since i was 13 years old and didn't have ya know, boobs or hips then Bmi isn't such a good indicator as your body fat percentage is it?
Again like i said this isn't a rant - i just don't geddit really
