Answer 1

Yea, your fine.

Answer 2

If you didn't see it, look for CarlaCCC's answer. She sounds pretty smart and caring to me.

I found a weight/height chart:

http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm

They wouldn't let me right click to copy. Chances are good you are too skinny at 123 lbs and 5'7". 123 lbs is the lowest weight for someone with a small frame.

If you have a medium frame you are 10 pounds underweight.; a large frame, 20 lbs underweight.

[Recent studies have shown that people who are very slightly above current optimum weight levels live longer. What this tells me is that the height and weight charts should be revised up a few pounds.]

May I say again check out CarlaCCC's message? [FYI I don't know her.] She may be the most important person in your life right now.

The best way to tell if you are too skinny or not is to complete a BMI (Body Mass Index) and a fat %. The best way to do the body fat and composition is to weigh yourself in water and see how much is displayed. Most people do not have access to do that so another good way is to use the caliper pinch test. You can buy a set of plastic ones for cheap.

The BMI is your weight in kilograms divided by your height in Meters squared. If the number comes out less than 30 and more than 20 than you are ok. I would have to look at the exact numbers to double check, but that is very close. Keep in mind that BMI does not account for body build. It is based on a medium build.

As a side not, if you are eating a healthy diet and exercising, you are pobably right were you need to be.

Answer 4

As I said before Danielle, you sound a little thin and probably need to make some adjustments to what you eat every day. Talk to your doctor and ask him for a referral to a nutritionist or dietitian and let BOTH of them know that you're worried about your weight. Also, remember that you're still growing and may fill out in college, as I did.

Answer 5

yeah you are fine..but normally most skinny people have more problems when they are a little too skinny like that.. but most guys here likes a little fat on there girl and even a guy..but yeah your okay... but when you start to see your ribs without you sucking it in then you have a problem and you need to get checked out for it.. but right now i guess your okay.. but start eating a little bit more then you do and eat more offten and maybe you will be okay.. welp laters and good luck and god bless you and your family

Answer 6

Yeah. I can to. It's perfectly natural. And if you can't, it's fine. Doesn't mean anything. Some dudes and dudets don't even have to suck in their stomach's to see their ribs. Anyway it is, it's safe.

Answer 7

Lol I can see my ribs even when I m not sucking in my stomach.You're fine

Answer 8

I've been reading through your previous questions and I think you should talk to a counselor or something along those lines. You have a severe obsession with weight and body image. And it's not a positive obsession. You need to speak with someone who can work through this with you.

Answer 9

If I suck your stomach, can I see your ribs?
