I weigh 112 pounds. I'm pretty much normal. I've been thin all my life. People automatically assume that I have high metabolism just because I am thin. But I know I dont. I just watch what I eat and how much and exercise regulary. Some people get away with eating a lot and still staying thin because their metabolism works faster. But I know mine doesn't because over summer vacation of last year I gained 7 pounds because I was in South Carolina with my grandparents and they eat a lot of fatning food. They like to feed children a lot for some reason. Everybody thinks I have a high metabolism but I dont!

Not really , I am a size 4 and I get lazy and go through energy cycles so I think it depends on if you are interested in what you are doing in life.

no it doesnt. i am in my 30's and have to starve and exercise my butt off 6 days a week just to stay at 115 pounds and a size 2. people that i meet THINK i'm lucky and have good genes but they didnt know me when i was pregnant with my 3 kids or when i was over 200 pounds! if i eat something fattening at a party and complain about it making me get fat, people will actually laugh at me and say oh i'm sure you'll burn it off in no time with your high metabolism. but its simply not true, i dont have a high metabolism.

Well, since you say you exercise and watch what you eat, that right there could be the reason for being in shape. However, a high metabolism could also be a component.

No, not everyone skinny has high metabolism. Many times it's hereditary. Sounds like you're thin because you're watching what you eat and exercising. Good job!

you may still have a high metabolism (assuming that your grandparents gave you food in which you dont regularly eat)
though you may not have a fast metab you do not need one to stay skinny if you eat right and work out you will either loose weight or stay at an average healthy weight.

You didn't mention your age, but its might understanding with some people they might not neccesarily have a high metabolish that its a weight thing. Many girls I know could anything they want when they were younger and now very easily put on weight. Just enjoy it instead of worrying about it!

I would carry an axe, and every time someone tells you that you have a high metabolism, bury it into their skull.......
Maybe not, but the thought might make you smile instead of saying something that you'll regret..

no , you could also have a tape worm, or a nice meth addiction, or an eating disorder and be skinny....maybe a virus or a runaway sock could be lodged in your esophogus catching all the food you consume then slowly moving down the digestive tract and out your anus at night to deliver its contents to staving ethiopians......to the point ...many factors can cause skinniness.

No it doesn't mean that. Like you said if you watch what you eat and exercise then you'll be fine.
