Well, I have calculated your BMI (Body Mass Index) and yours is 19.5. This is the normal weight for someone your age and weight and height.

* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

See! You're pretty fit :-]

If you did want to tone up there are lots of ways:
- If a gym workout is your thing then weights would be the best option because they are a really good and fast way to gain muscle mass
- If you like running then jog away! There are many proven benefits of jogging for 30 minutes a day 3-4 times a week.
- Sport is good too
- Tae Bo is a workout video that kicks and punches and stuff and it works really well (on me anyway, i can get toned in a week or two if I do it everyday or every second day)

Hope this helps!

No. your skinny. whats to be concnerd about

Your on the lower end of the healthy weight for where you should be, meaning if you lose a few pounds you will be underweight. Your weight is fine, try yoga to tone up.

yes it's fine
you really think every girl in this world happens to be like jessica alba --totoally hot flat stomach?

I think you should give Christina B the 'best answer' award! She hit it right :)

One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! - it's just pills, but you'll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to
