155 pounds on a 5'2 woman puts her at a BMI of 28.6...that's overweight and almost obese even. A healthy weight range for a 5'2 individual would be anywhere between 103 pounds to 135 pounds. They should stick to the mid-higher end of their healthy weight range if they have a larger frame, and stay on the lower-mid range if they have smaller frames. Ofcourse going by BF% would be more accurate as a measure of good health, some women who have healthy BMI's are actually 'overfat' when it comes to their BF%.

Please know that according to world health organization, she was probably still in a healthy range, although approaching "overfat". I am 5'1", so I am pretty close to where she is height-wise. I will tell you that it is more unhealthy to be underweight than overweight, and the majority (not all) of supermodels we compare ourselves to are medically underfat... many of the women do not even have their periods they are so underfat.
Ask yourself what is more important to you. Your health or looking good in the mirror. The people with anorexia I work with have higher tryglicerides and cholesteral than the people weighting 300 pounds plus. Your body has weird reactions when you don't weight enough. We place so much emphasis on weight.
And remember you can't see your body objectively either. Listen do someone you trust about where your body is. Not necessarily someone at the gym either, as they often want your body fat percentasge lower, too. Talk to your doctor, nutritionist, etc...
Just be careful. This is your life.
