am i too skinny??

Question

I am 16 years old and weigh about 98 pounds or 96 pounds. I am about 5 foot 1 and am a female. I am also a petite girl.

Answer 1

instead of asking people who have never seen you, or friends who don't really know what they're talking about, go get a physical from your doctor and ask him / her. They will tell you the truth. Then you need to listen and be healthy above all else!

Answer 2

If your bones are small, then you are not too skinny. If your bones are medium sized, you are a little thin, but probably okay. If your bones are large, you are--please do not become offended--looking rather freakish and people are probably worrying about you. Petite frame? You're probably fine.

I have large bones and am one inch shorter than you and know what low weight on the charts I cannot be without being unhealthy and an unpretty sight to see, so that is my point of reference.

Answer 3

I have a friend who is perfectly healthy. She's 32, weighs 90 pounds and is 4'11". It's possible, but you should still see a doctor for a professional opinion.

Answer 4

No when I was 18 I weighed 99 Ibs and now I'm 20 and weigh 104ish. I am 5'3".

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 10

your skinny, but not unhealthy...as long as your eating when your hungry, and not depriving yourself of food, then i definitly wouldnt worry about it.
