I've lost a lot of weight lately and the people around me have been saying that I'm too thin and I look frail, now I'm beggining to wonder if i should consider gaining weight and if I do gain weight how much weight should I put on??

Most guys I know (me included) like girls with a little bit of meat on them. I think the 110lb area would probably be better.

Im no expert but i think you are underweight. Ive just checked your weight with your height on a BMI chart and It says with your weight and height you are underweight. The average weight for your height would be around 8-9 stone. I would reccomend that you try to gain some weight but the best thing to do would be to go and see your doctor to get some professional advice on the matter. If you dont want to see your doctor try sites like www.bbc.co.uk and go to the health sections and read up about weight issues and what the best way is to go about. If you go on http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_living/your_weight/bmiimperial_index.shtml there is a converter that you put in your weight and height and it will tell you whether you are underweight, average or overweight. I really would reccomend you to look into this though because being underweight can be a serious threat to your health. Hope some of this helps and good luck. xxx

It is underweight for an adult of your height. According to BMI charts, the lowest "healthy" weight for 5'2" is about 101 lbs. I usually think that stuff is all relative though. If you look and feel healthy, don't worry about it. If you think you look too thin or you are not happy with your weight then go ahead a gain a few pounds. It certainly won't hurt. If you feel faint or weak then gain some weight now.

If you are under 18, and otherwise eating healthy (low glycemic carbs, moderate protein, good fats), don't worry about gaining. Worry if you are continuing to lose or why you lost a lot of weight recently (illness, good weight loss plan?).

GAIN SOME WEIGHT...according to the BMI index table, to be a healthy weight, you should be between 105 and 125 pounds
