Am I underweight?
I am the one in the white bathing suit in the picture.
I am 18, 5"5, and 84 pounds.
I really eat healthy, I eat 2 meals a day, I don't know why I am this thin.

You should eat at least 3 meals a day, preferably 6 small meals a day.
At 5ft 5 in and 84 pounds, I would say you are WAY too thin, however if you are concerned, see your doctor or a nutritionist.

I am the same height as you are and you are tragically underweight. To be underweight for our heights we need to be under 112 lbs. Even someone who is 110 lbs is underweight. So you will have to gain 30 lbs to be even of the small part of a healthy, normal weight.
I used to be 91 lbs, which is not much more than what you are now. But now I am 125 lbs or so. If I wanted to I could get skinny again, and not be average like how I am now, within 3 months because I lose weight fast.
Just so you know, it is really hard to gain weight. You are going to have to build more muscle, eats tons of carbs and fats, and protein.
I suggest that with that you attempt a 2500 calorie or more diet. I am assuming that you only eat 1000-1500 calories a day because you only eat two meals, depending on how big they are.

you should always eat 3 meals a day and hope you don't go in the bathroom after and throw it up. breakfast is the best meal of the day for energy. yeah you underweight you should at least be 118 lbs is normal for you.

I think you're underweight. Maybe try to eat more protein, but dont flee to fast food. Eat a good breakfast, and a lunch and dinner. Eat snacks inbetween the day too.

That is a lot under weight. You need to see a doctor. That is not healthy! You should weigh at least 125 lb. for your height. Possibly more depending on the size of your frame.

That picture looks strangely identical to the photo taken of Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan on the beach together not so long ago. Even the pose is the same..... I am not convinced!

yeah you are underweight. the brazialian model that just died from anorexia was 88 pds and 5ft 7in. consult your doctor to make sure everything is fine with you health wise. You could just have a super fast metabolism. but that is considered underweight.
