usually 140 pounds and up are average for girls who are 5'10". Are you a teenager? cause I'm sure that if you are, you'll fill out more as you get older.

Most definitely you are too thin. High metabolism or not, this is too thin to be healthy for anyone of your height. You say nothing of your diet. Nor do you mention your age.
Were you my daughter, I would have great concern about your health. Do you drink a lot of water? Do you have energy to live your life fully and actively? Or do you feel tired all the time?
A visit to your doctor or nutritionist is definitely in order to check up on your condition. Speaking as a person with a dismally slow metabolism, I think anyone with a high metabolism is very lucky. Just make sure your over all health is good!

Even if you have a narrow bone structure, 100 pounds is very, very low and dangerous to your health. Take advantage of the high metabolism and eat healthy foods.

Your age may have something to do with it, especially if you just grew a few inches. However, to the person who calculated your bmi to be 14.3 and said you were fine...anything below 15 is considered "starving" by the world health organization. You should definitely be talking to your doctor and make sure you're eating enough of the right kinds of foods.

That's just unhealthy. Way too thin no matter the metabolism.

how old are you? are you young? do you eat enough? sounds very very thin to me. you would probably be healthier with a good 10-20 lbs more on you. however, if you are quite young yet it could be natural.

How old are you? Male or Female? If you are still a pre-teen... and haven't gone through puberty entirely, then it's probably oka for now. It is skinny... 20 pounds would probably look really good on you, especially with your height.

You do sound alittle on the "light side..." But as long as you're healthy, eating well & often, and not avoiding food- you're probably all right. Don't worry about it. Worrying burns calories. :)
