People tell me I should gain weight, but I am happy with what my weight currently is.
I weight 109-110 lbs and I am 5'5''.
Don't say that is stupid to ask, I just want your honest opinions. And no I dont want to weigh 120-120 lbs....I think that is overweight for my height.

I've had the same problem all my life. Everyone has told me I'm too skinny. If you're happy then stay the way your are and ignore them. Just make sure you're healthy and getting vitamins and minerals and stuff.

overweight is being 20-30% over your normal body weight. being 10 lbs. more than you are now isn't overweight. I'm 5'3" and 118-120 lbs, and am not overweight. it also depends on your body type. I have a medium type, meaning I'm more buff looking instead of tiny, as is the typical image american media paints girls to be. If you have a small, reedy type of body, then 120 lbs. may seem overweight, but if you don't have that body type, than it isn't going to make you look overweight. besides, if you like the way you look, and have no medical issues with it, then don't bother.

You could stand to gain a little weight so lets do it the easy way and if you do not like the change you can lose most of it after you have my baby in 9 months. Damn you are cute.

It depends on your proportions, how much of your weight is fat and how much is muscle. If you are able to test your lean body mass, you can better determine if you are the correct weight for your height. Avg. Wt for your height is about 125, but that is so general, because I don't know your specifics
My suggestion is to get a scale that measures body fat, and it will tell you what your Lean body mass is. then you can discover if you are a healthy size.
about 15%-30% body fat is healthy for girls.

Its some time hard to make your body perfect the way you want it. What is most important thing in this world is who you are inside. But at the same time you can be whoever you want to be. If you want to be fit, eat goodies, and train hard. Consult a professionals, not Yahoo.

You are beautiful. I wouldn't worry about it but that doesn't mean you shouldn't workout. If I were you I would eat a balanced diet. If I was younger I would chase you around the planet a couple of times.

It depends on your body frame size. If you are comfortable at your current weight, just ignore what others say. You have to live with yourself and they don't. Your weight seems low, but as I said it depends on your comfort level and body frame size.

If you are eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and weigh that, I would rejoice. If you have to diet a lot to maintain that weight, I'd reconsider.
