I wonder how much the BMI vs weight is different for women than men. My perfect BMI would have me being 10 stone. I am 10.7 at the moment. I can get down to 10 stone by cutting out fat and a lot of carbs. Though experience has taught me to lose any less I would have to be on a starvation diet or to be severly dehydrated.
