Thank you that's helpful. I can't believe my doctors didn't even know this. As an anorexic unfortunately I am wishing it didn't have to be that high but you know to an anorexic mind everything is scary. Can you tell me also what weight range that would be if I'm 5'1?

Since I broke my back and I'm now 3 inches shorter do you think that I need to be at the weight that I should be if I was 5 ft 3" or do I go by what I'm at now which is 5ft 1"? The doctors didn't know this either...???
