Question: Is this too skinny!? Please Read!?
How am I underweight!?
I have one of those high tech scales at my house that tells you your weight, body fat % and water weight!.

I am 5'4 and 121 pounds, it told me my body fat was 19!.5% and the underweight symbol came up!.
How is that underweight!? Ya I have muslce, but I am no where near underweight!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Your body mass index (BMI) is 20!.8, so you are perfectly healthy!. The underweight symbol may have appeared if the settings were set for you!? My only guess is the setting you used was a program for either a male or someone older than yourself, which could change the readings it gives you!. Try seeing if you can specify the settings to your age and gender!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe the scale is messed up!. That's a good weight for your height!. Maybe the scale wants you to be around 125 and it would say you're a normal weight!. 125 would be perfect for you, but you are only a couple pounds under so don't worry about it!. Anywhere from 120-130 is ok for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't believe you're underweight!. In fact, you're exactly where you want to be in terms of weight!. you can check your BMI (body mass index) to see whether you're under/over weight or obese, but according to your information, this should not be a concern!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds to me like you are perfect :) NO worries, your scale can't take into consideration your age and other factors that play a role in determining if you're underweight or not!. If you're really concerned, just see your doctor!. But I think you're fine :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well keep in mind what is the normal weight is usually not what we think normal weight should be!. But as far as your scale goes, it's probably nonsense!. Unless maybe it doesn't distinguish between gender in which case 121 is underweight for a male!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you don't think you are underweight then don't listen to a freakin scale it is probably wrong any way!. damn devices always suck one way or another!. just be happy with who you are!. If anything be glad that you are underweight than over weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

dont worry about it!. It might be one man's opinion but its better to be underweight than over weight!. : ]

Some of the girls in my school or that I know are 5'6 or 5'8 and they weigh like 98 lbs! I must find out their secret!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No Way!! That is not underweight thats like perfect weight!. I Have friends that are that weight and they are 5'6, and they look healthy!. Maybe your scale is on crack!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, you have a good weight!. That machine can't see you!.

u should not rely to much on the high tech scale, i had one but when i went to the doctors and was weighed my scale said i weighed 10 lbs more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're not underweight, especially if you're a teenager!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Then why you listening to a machine!?!? As long as your doctor isn't telling you that you are malnutrition and not obese, then ignore that scaleWww@Answer-Health@Com

I tell this to anyone with similar questions about weight loss and diet~
Diets, pills, drinks, and gimmicks aren't going to help you!. They just want to play on peoples emotions and insecurities so they can make a quick buck!. Extreme weight gain takes months, so It could take months to lose it, and twice as much energy to lose!. It's hard, takes willpower and determination to succeed!. Here's how to do it with no guesswork, just a dose of common sense and good judgment to do whats right for you to live a long happy healthy life~here's how~
OK, the real true way the body was created, to maintain your weight true to your height and build is to!.!.!.!.

1) Eat as much unprocessed organic foods as possible!. Lay off the prepackaged, starchy, homogenised, refined foods!. Fresh fruit, fresh veggies, whole grains, and get as much protein from vegetation!. If you must eat meat, eat organic!. Or buy from kosher markets!. Drink 2 liters of bottled spring water!. Fiji water is the best!. It might seem more expensive at first, but think of it this way!. Would you rather pay into aggravating medical bills stemming from your unhealthy lifestyle, or spend a little more serving you and you family healthy foods your bodies intended to have since the creation of mankind!?
Think about it!. There wasn't a whole lot of overweight couch potato settlers!. They worked for what they had!. Physical labor, for meager earnings, meager food rationed!. yet, they survived!. They were their average weight!. There was not diabetes, or any strange diseases we see today!. Don't believe me!? Google it!. Which brings me to number 2!.!.!.

2) Exercise as much as you can!. Even if it means short simple walks daily at first!. Before all the modernisation of the world we walked, lifted, stooped, knelt, and occasionally ran!. The ratio to exercise is burn off at least over half of what you consumed the previous day!. Normal brain functions, stress, everyday activities besides exercise burns off the rest, and doesn't deposit as fat!.

If you aren't healthy enough for physical activities, I urge you to cut out the prepackaged foods, and corn syrup laden drinks, and eat more natural foods!. I guarantee you will lose weight from just doing that, than relying on herbal teas or nutrition supplements you found that say "AS SEEN ON TV"

Be wellWww@Answer-Health@Com
