117,  5'10 is slender, depending on your bone structure, long fine bones, large heavy bones, small boned etc. I am 117, 5'6 with long thin fine bones that do not like to carry excess weight at all. I do not think about  weight 'norms', i look at how i feel, my energy levels, my physical comfort levels in my own body, no aches or pains, good skin color tone texture, good hair and nail growth, clear eyes.

I read a longevity interview with a 107 year old healthy chinese man who gave his advice on longevity. The 107 year old man was very slender, he ate very light, 2 staple foods, his advice on long healthy life was:

' Keep a quiet heart, sit like a tortoise, walk sprightly like a pigeon and sleep like a dog. '   

I am still trying to figure out how sit like a tortoise :)   

The interviewer had interviewed many healthy 100 to 120 plus year olds and noted they all had this in common:

Belief in God, spirit, personal relationship with God

Belief in immortality

They all wore rose colored glasses, had good optimistic perspectives.

I have to mentally prepare myself for water fasting. It is interesting to read your posts on water fasting. Thank you.
