For 5'7 you are severely underweight and it's actually very unhealthy. Unless you are naturally this thin and eat healthy, then it's nothing to worry about, but otherwise you should see a doctor because the BMI based on your height and weight signals to a potential eating disorder. Have you seen how sickly thin Nicole Ritchie has been looking for the last year or so? Well, she weighs 90 pounds, and she's very short (5'2 - 5'3). You only weigh 4 more pounds than her but you are so much taller - doesn't that make you think? Take care of yourself, and if you are starving yourself please seek help from a health professional.

It's nothing to worry about it. When i was 18 i only weighed 87 pounds at 5'0 tall. Now i'm 25 at 110 pounds after having 2 kids. So after having kids you'll probably put on a little like i did. Nothing to be concerned about it.

I would say very underweight. You should for 5'7 be somewhere around 120-150 depending I am 5'7 and 130. Only a doctor can truley tell you.

You are very underweight. I am a little under 5 feet and I weigh 96 pounds. You need to gain weight, because it is not good for you to be that tall and that skinny.

You need to get some serious help. You are severely undrweight. According to your height of 5' 7" and weight of 94 pounds your body mass index is 14.8. This calculation is solely based on your height and weight.The recommended weight range for your height is between 125 and 159 pounds. In this range, your BMI will be between 19.5 and 24.9, which is recommended by health professionals. According to your height of 5' 7" your ideal healthy weight is 143 pounds. This is according to www.healthstatus.com, not soley my opinion. Please talk to your doctor, school nurse, parents, friends or other trusted adults. Take care and Godbless.

Your BMI is 14.7, a BMI of 17 is already unhealthy so 14.7 is extremely unhealthy. Your right weight should range from 120lbs-150lbs depending on your age and activity level.
When I had a BMI of 15 I was put in recovery for anorexia, so I would definitely assume the doctor would do something for your BMI of 14.

You could gain a few pounds! That is way too skiny, for 5' 7" you should probably weigh around 115 at least. You don't have to eat junk but eat more :)

it sounds like you are a little underweight, but you didn't mention how old you are...if you are worried, look up your BMI, that is your body mass index, it compares your height to your wieght and tells you where you fall on the spectrum. As long as you are not trying to be underweight, I wouldn't worry too much about it- you just might be naturally thin.

I probably say underweight...i'm 5'3'' and i weigh about 120...and i'm an average BMI.
Part of it could be genetics and your athleticism and metabolism too.

How old are you? That does sound very underweight.
Is your mother or father underweight, do you have a very small frame? More info would be helpful.
