Ok im 5' 7.5" and i only weight 98lbs. Is this underweight because i heard that 120 was normal for a 5' 3" and to me that sounds wrong, but still am i underweight.

That depends a lot on build, but let me put it this way: adding some weight couldn't hurt where you're at. I'm 5'5 and I think I do best at 120 lbs, so if I were 2 inches shorter and weighed that, it would be wrong for my build. It all really depends. If you're worried, see a doctor about diet and weight issues. But 98 lbs does seem really low for someone your height.

My question is, Where did you get your information? Janice Dickinsons modeling agency? (lol) How old are you. When I was 27 I weighed 98 lbs and I am 5'1". My doctor told me that I needed to gain about 10-15 lbs. He said I looked anorexic. You sound like you could stand to put on a few lbs. yourself, just be healthy, that's all that counts.

I'm 5'7" and I weigh 130lbs, and I am VERY fit. 6 pack and all. You are underweight by my standards and by the Body Mass Index scale. That is very unhealthy, you should see a doctor

That is VERY underweight. Almost- perhaps dangerously so.

how old are you? the normal BMI is 18.3 to 20.5
calculate your BMI by taking height X height (in metres) den divide it with your weight (in kg)
