if your eating normally and thats just hoe much you weight normally, then i would say your underweight but its not a prob. people get so worked up about how they compare to "average" if your not going hungary and your naturally little, dont worry about it, its a good thing cuz most people on this site are tryin to get like u

Way underweight!

yes, u are underweight...A LOT! i would try gain some weight, people call me really light, and im in FIFTH GRADE and i weigh 62!! i would seriously consider gaining some weight

um ya u should be at least 110lbs. EAT GIRL EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

i recommend eating at McDonald's for the next couple months...seriously

52!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you lost it? Do you want to live? I suggest you go and stuff your self with T.G.I. Fridays

Not neccesarily, it is pretty thin, but you are still growing, you may not have hit a growth spurt yet, or puberty for that matter. if you are still eating and arent hungry then I would say your fine.

toooooo skinny
don't eat too much cause it ain't good for you
just eat average meals
if you're skinny then oh well

i think you are just in the right size and height.one thing i would like to tell u that we should appreciate wat we have and upgrade it even better

yess deffinatly!!

my friend has a really fast matabulisum , she is 14 , 5'9 and 85 pounds , she eats like a pig dosen't exorsize and doesn't gain a bit.
if your really woriried , go see a doctor and he or she can help you
:D
?Julie?

wow!!! you are very very underweight!!!!! but if your eating all the time, then it should be fine, since there is nothing you can do about it.

yeahh i would say so. go to yahoo and put in weight calculator. it will compare you to the healthy range for kids your age and height. I think that you are a little too skinny.

Ok you are got to be kidding me. Did you know that your BMI is 9.8 and underweight is considered 18.5 and under. I think you seriously need to be in a hospital. How could you say you don't have any eating disorder. If you truly weigh this much then something is wrong. This is more than just being built this way or genetics.

I am very thin and I am 5'5 and 100 pounds. I am underweight for my height. You are considered to be Euthopia thin.

I suggest you get help.

I started having Anorexia just around your age. I didn't know it at the time and would deny it. You will deny it until you are so sick and have to go into the hospital.

I personally think you are wrong on the weight or lying.

I seriously hope if you aren't lying that you get help before you die. Your bodies organs start to turn on themselves and soon start feeding off of one another and the next thing you know you have heart failure and die.

yes you are skinny

the best way is to gain weight it to eat
protein shakes like for example waye or those protein things to gain
muscle but when u drink this just dont work out and that will turn in to fat

u can find this in GMC stores

So -- you lost 29 pounds in the past 3 weeks when you last asked this? You should write up your diet plan. There are a number of people in here that would love to know how you lost 29 pounds in 3 weeks.

yea u should way at least 80 ibs, i would suggest drinking a Boost or Ensure Drink, which are drinks that are filled with vitamins and calories 2 help gain weight. If u drink 1 every night u can gain a few ibs gradually. U can get them at walmart, any drugstore, and most supermarkets, and they have different flavors, i like the choclate the most

uhm yes sweetie you are underweight
but if you eat all the time and your not gaining any weight then i guess its not your fault
try working out so you can gain muscle and gain some weight

I wouldn't be too ashamed or embarrassed over your lower body weight.I personally have a metabolism much like that of a jet engine. And I wouldn't suggest pigging out on fried foods as acne is a big concern.

What you think? The fact that you even need to ask this is a red flag. If you really want to know the truth, you should ask your doctor (not us). If you have an eating disorder you are probably unaware of it (sorry to say), or do not want to admit it. Keep an open mind, and be prepared to confront this issue if it is in fact the truth. Otherwise, it may be some other kind of health issue.I urge you to talk to your doctor. It sounds extreme to me.

Oh-- and I just read one response above. Have you really lost 29 pounds in the last 3 weeks? If so you need serious help. You can die from anorexia. It is no joke. Anorexia is a way of feeling like you are in control of something. It is a deep psychological disorder and can damage bodily functions beyond reapir. Get help and turn this around before it is too late. Think of how heartbroken and your friends and family will be if you allow yourself to go down that slippery slope. Think of how many lives you can touch in a positive way if you maintain your body. Life is worth living and your body is the vehicle that will carry you through. Don't abuse it.

i hope your joking......
