H@#L I'm short and thin but I'm also black so that's another hill of beans. Since you don't workout to mainatin it just make sure you eat a healthy diet and screw them all. Enjoy it while you can cause a fast metabolism can wear off with age or body changes like having a baby.
Suck it up. We're here, we're skinny, give us fried chicken.

The average weight for a woman who is between the ages of 18 and 45 is 145 pounds, so, I'd have to say you are seriously underweight. You might want to cut back on the running, and consume more carbs and protein.

I am 5'6 and 120 pounds, and I get that all the time. But you are 5'9, you do need to gain some. Maybe you could start having protein shakes, and snacks in between your meals.

well.. I think that instead of asking about weather your weight and hight ratio is "acceptable" to others you should ask yourself a different question. You should be asking "are you healthy" and also maybe ask questions about having self confidence and maybe you should research why you feel you need to have others accept your appearance. weather you weigh 117 or 217, why do you need others to tell you if its good or bad? If you are comfortable and happy and healthy then who the hell cares what anyone feels about it? your true beauty is on the inside.. consentrate more on that and it wont matter what you weigh... be healthy and happy..

I think that's pretty thin according to the weight charts that I've looked at. I guess another thing would depend on your age. You will fill in as you age as a natural process. I guess it's up to you, how you feel about yourself as to whether "you" think that you are too thin or not.

Thin is good do not let other people tell you how to look.
If you are happy about the way you look and feel tell the people that say that to F*** off that you are happy and thats all that really matters in life.

Be happy as long as you're healthy! Some people gain weight and trust me girl, it's hard with a capital "h" to lose it. Be glad if you have a good metabolism. Don't hate me for being overweight and I won't hate you for being skinny... I will offer you a brownie though!

Probably a little too thin. Ask your doctor, though, if you have any health concerns. If you are concerned about being attractive, my advice is don't be afraid of curves. May God bless and keep you.

take it from a 5'3 girl who weighs 95: youre fine if youre athletic. ive been playing baseball since 1 was 5, basketball since 9, i play tackle football with my friends, and i eat like a fat pig. but im not and people are amazed when i eat that im this skinny. not as skinny as you, but i think youre fine unless you stop eating. but whatever you do keep excercising!
