I disagree with gbrain's estimate of weight. I weigh much more than 105lbs and I have a very low body fat for a women.
Weight: 125lbs
Body Fat %: 33%
Lean Weight Percentage: 67%
Lean Weight: 83.75lbs
Goal Body Fat %: 20%
Goal Lean Weight %: 80%
Goal Weight = Lean Weight / Goal Lean Weight %
Goal Weight: 104.6875
What this means is not that 105 is a good weight for Marcia. What it means is 33% body fat is wrong unless Marcia is very fined boned with almost no muscle, because at 5'6.5" 105lbs is still incredibly light.
IF the bodypod results are accurate, 105 is a healthy weight for Marcia. 20% bodyfat is in the middle of the fit and athlete ranges for a female.
