Default Question about weight

I have a question, I know I'm not at my goal, but I now after loosing 30 pounds do not find myself overweight. I'm 5 feet 2 inches and weigh 140. I'm in a size 8 or size 9 pants. I know I'm still alittle overweight, but not unhealthy overweight, but everywhere I enter my information, it tells me my BMI is at an unhealthy overweight.


These charts ask, weight, hieght, age, sometimes waist and hip measurements.

I laugh at the one that ask the above information and not ask me my breast size and then tell me I'm pear shape. Hardly. I'm still wearing a 36D cup bra. Even when I'm at 125 pounds I'm still in a D cup bra, how come non of the questions take that into consideration, for BMI or for weight. I'm sure breast in a size D cup can account for 5-8 pound easly of my weight. I'm 40 years old I know if I got down to 96-122 pounds I would not look healty, I'd be in a size 3 which isn't all that bad, but last time I got to that weight, my face looked drawn and too skinny.

Does anyone have this problem or can help me out with all of this.
