Your age is really important, because if you're really young and tall, your weight could be perfectly fine. If you're older, there is probably something wrong.

Do a BMI calculation (use google to find a good program or try http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/).
It's free, and it will tell you if you're under/over weight.
-BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Honestly, you can probably also tell by simply looking in the mirror.

If you're worried, you can always stop by at the doctors and ask their opinion - they went to school for things like this.

Goodluck! Hope this helped =) ?

You shouldn't worry about weight as much as you should about fat percentage.

And don't go by the BMI. The BMI is an old piece of garbage.

u might be under by a couple...id say around 110...115 would be ok...but a couple of pounds is nothing to worry about...dont think ur too skinny and gain weight lik crazy...ur great the way u are =)

under... but if your doctor hasn't brought up any concerns i bet your fine. just ask em at your next appt. if your ok.

Under weight

Never go by the scales.

How do you look in the mirror?

If you look underweight, get active and eat more.
If you look overweight, get active and be careful of what you eat.

way way way wayway under

yes, its an average weight

Wow, I wish I were your weight. I'm about 5'8" and 106 lbs. sounds like a dream to me. I'm sure you're going to get a bunch of people saying it's too thin (and it probably is), but I think it's great.

One website I like is www.am-i-fat.com. It's very helpful. According to the BMI calculator, your BM is 17. You are emaciated, which isn't good. Although it may be common for supermodels, it still isn't healthy. I would try to put on some weight, if I were you.

I weigh 118-120 and my parents always get on my case about being too thin and I am only an inch taller. However, you are a girl so you can get away with being lighter. Check out the BMI charts for your age.

At 5'7 your ideal weight would be 135 lbs so you are probably about 10 lbs underweight.

yes very good

Sounds right to me.
