Am I too skinny? I eat right but don't exercise very much...?!


Question: Am I too skinny? I eat right but don't exercise very much...?
Ok I'm an 18-year-old female, and have the following measuremements, without seeing me would you say i was "too skinny"?

Weigh: 9 stone (though could have gone up or down - haven't weighed myself in a monthish)
Height: 5'8 ft
Waist: 25 inches
Hips: 32 inches
Chest: 33 inches
Thighs: 19.5 inches
Biceps: 10 inches
Forearms: 8 inches
BMI: 19.2

So can I honestly reply "Shut up I'm not too skinny" when people tell me I am?

Answers:

I don't know about all those measurements but if you have a fast metabolism, there's not much you can do about it, and it's something that most people want! I'm a 16 year old girl with a fast metabolism (about 7 stone) and I know it's nasty when some people call you anorexic or whatever, but most of the time I feel fine being skinny, and a lot of people envy being naturally slim, or so they tell me. If you want to improve the way you look because you're unhappy about it you could try toning up, AKA having slightly more muscle? I'm considering doing that just so I have more... idk, presence :L

Don't worry about what other people think, 9 stone sounds fine :) x



wait I don't get it.. What's your overall weight? 9 stone? Add additional details with what your weight in pounds mean, and I'll edit my answer. From the other measurements, however, you seem pretty skinny lol.

Edit: Okay I just googled it lol. 136 pounds?? For your height, still seems a little under, but that's fine! Whoever tells you that is seriously probably just jealous.

My aunt is a dietician



You seem to be really worried here!!! You shouldn't worry about what is too skinny or 'not normal'...as long as you are happy with how you look :)
If you're not, change it! But from what you've said it seems fine to me
Don't worry!!!



You are fine in weight, but your BMI is a little under. It's pleasant to find someone who uses stones instead of pounds these days. You tell them people!
