Go to your doctor and get a body mass index test done. It is easy and it will tell you the weight that is appropriate for your height.Some gyms do them for you also but the doctor is the best to talk to you about the results. When I was in my teens and early twenty's i weighed 120 and some people though I was too thin but it was OK for my age and height five eight and a half.

Wow, that's really thin. But if you are eating, you should be okay. There are a few things to ask yourself: Are you eating until you are satisfied? Do you think you are too fat? Do you exercise a lot to control your weight?
If you are eating a regular diet, and have normal periods without being on the birth control pill, then you should be fine. Also, look at mom, was she really thin? Could be your body type. One word of caution though, being tall and thin predisposes you to osteoporosis later on in life. Make sure to take 1000 to 1500mg of Calcium per day. Talk to your doctor, since it depends on your age, but it's important for you.

you are WAY underweight. Try eating like triple portion size for a week or two. You need to gain at least 20 pounds. To be healthy, i'd say 40 but it depends on your body type.

get checked for hyperthyroidism. Being super thin is a symptom of it and it can cause major problems if not treated.
