You are somewhat underweight sweetie. Maybe you are excercising off more calories than you are consuming. Its great that you excercise, but you need to ask yourself, am I pushing myself too hard? Am I eating enough? You might want to consider getting a nutritionist or a trainer at the gym to help you. If you can't afford that then talk to your general physician. 88 pounds at your height is not "bad", but being underweight can cause some problems in your health, so you should definitely try to gain a little weight. Otherwise you could end up with heart problems, bone problems such as osteoporosis, and a whole host of disorders affiliated with malnutrition, such as anemia. If you think you may have a preoccupation with weight or excercise that is not normal then you may want to seek out some therapy too. Good luck and take care.

A BMI under 19 is basically underweight. You might be built small. If you feel you are healthy, and eat a well-balanced diet, then you should be alright. If you don't feel healthy maybe you should talk to your doctor or a dietitian. Exercising is good for your body no matter what your weight, as long as it's not done excessively.

She is slightly overweight yet easily not overweight. It easily doesn't damage for her to lose about 10-20 pounds, yet there are an excellent style of those who weigh a lot more advantageous than that. in words of seems, i'm not all that picky like an excellent style of adult males are. i'd easily date a woman that weighed one hundred sixty 5 pounds. some women that are slightly overweight can easily pull it off.
