I don't know how old you are, but that is on the thin side. Your body mass index (BMI) is only 18.2, and you should maintain a BMI above 18.5 if possible. If you are a teenager and are still not menstruating, you may just be "pre-pubescent," but I definitely would NOT try to LOSE weight AT ALL. I hope you have not dieted to be so thin.

That depends more on your relationship with food and body. If you are eating when hungry and stopping when full, that's a good sign. If you are restricting your caloric intake to maintain a low weight, then 113 is probably too low for you. When in doubt, talk with your doctor or a therapist/counselor.

When I was 19 years old I was 5'10 and 112 pounds. Many people said I was skinny. Skinny is a derogatory word that is almost as bad as calling someone "fat".
Mind you, I didn't have any butt, boobs or curves anywhere. Don't sweat it, your metabolism will slow a little as you get older.

Yes that's a bit skinny, assuming you mean 113lb and not kg (lol). In fact you're just on the borderline between underweight and normal weight.

yes, one of my friends is 5'2 and weighs 115 at a healthy weight. you could probably use to put on 10-15 pounds to get to the lower portion of the healthy weight

It depends on how old you are.....if you are an adult then that is too skinny but if you are still 13-15 then you still have time to fill in.

I would say that you need to gain weight. However being underweight does not necessarily mean that you are unhealthy unless you are bulimic or anorexic. But don't try to loose any weight.

It sounds kinda skinny to me. I say about 125 would work.
