Hey, I'm all of 5'2" and my set-point has been around 130 since the end of adolescence. I feel good and healthy at this weight--definitely not fat!--but I'm not skinny, and I like it that way. The more I work out, the better I feel--even if it adds pounds (the whole muscles-weights-more-than-fat thing), it has nothing to do with the numbers on the scale.

As I said in my first post, it's not my current weight that I'm worried about, it's my weight after bearing children and generally hitting mid-life that makes me wonder what will happen to my body, outside of my attempts to control it. I guess I can only wait and see. I don't want to avoid having kids just because I'm afraid of what will happen. But it is a big scary unknown...
