Is 107lbs ok for someone who is 5'8 ?

Question

your opinion please.

Answer 1

i think it's a little too thin maybe you should work out and gain some muscle ..just not too much ..oh yeah & try to eat some food before you starve to death..if this is a serious question then sorry about that remark..i used to know a girl who ate and ate but couldnt gain weight she was not sick or any thing she just was skinny like a tooth pick she looked kind of gross really..i felt so sorry for her she always tried to gain but couldnt she even drank some kind of protien weight gain shakes..if this is any thing like you then you should ask a doctor to see what he thinks about it and see how you can gain a little !!

Answer 2

Hard to say if it is too thin and unhealthy without more details, but when I graduated from high school (25 years ago) I was 6' 2" and only 128. I was a swimmer and had a very high metabolism. It wasn't a matter of not eating right, I ate all the time, but also swam 3 to 5 miles a day. Very low body fat and was really thin, but fit. You certainly can afford to weigh more, but like I said, don't have all the details.

Answer 3

If you can raise up your arms and see your ribs very clearly then no its not. Theres a chart aroudn the net and its real cause my dr has one its a weight/height chart for example. My height is 5'4" and my chart goes between 120lbs -135lbs. Im right in there. If you are to far off , then this can affect your body, just like being way over weight can affect you as well. Its just a number, even though it may be higher you body can still look good and from experiance, most guys like a girl with a lil meat on her bones, they dont wanan feel like they are going to break her or anything, Would you think a guy was sexy if you could see his ribs and spine? I sure wouldnt lol.

Answer 4

This is just an anorexic looking for compliments and attention. I am 5'3 and 119 lbs and would love to be that weight at my height. I'm sure I look better, too, b/c I actually have a figure and men look at me.

What's more, I can live on hardly any food all day and I am not a wannabe who needs the opinion of others to tell me how hot I am and how well I control my food intake.

Answer 5

Yeah, if it's 107 pounds PLUS. How can only 107lbs be healthy for that height????

That sounds like the weight of a skeleton, some organs, and a hank of hair, --- and not much more.

Answer 6

You are too thin. You need to gain about 20 lbs. I am a 5'2 120 lbs female and consider myself to be average. I recently weighed 105 and my husband said I looked sick and was too thin. He was actually worried about my health. At your height, I can't imagine how you look at 107lbs.

Answer 7

normally, i would say no, but it depends on your bone structure... if you are starving yourself and/or working out more than 1hour every day, then you have a problem called anorexia and you need to see a professional therapist.

if you are just have a very slender build, then you should be okay- just as long as you can't count your ribs and you aren't going hungry, you're fine.

however, with such a small frame- you run the risk of getting osteoporisis. to prevent this, drink your skim milk and lift weights.

Answer 8

It's about 5 or 7 lbs under weight.

Answer 9

Your body mass index is 16.3. It should be at least 18.5..
You're underweight.. I think the best way to add ur weight is to increase your intake of complex carbohydrates, particularly whole grain ones . You'll have to eat more calories.
Foods like whole wheat bread, pasta,bagels, muffins are good to include.
Also, legumes and fruits could be wise choices.

Answer 10

my 5 ft 8 inch daughter is 120 I told her if she goes down to 119 shes going to the Dr that height should weigh 120 - 140 lbs.
