Sounds like you may be a little thin, but If you eat healthy then its possible you just have a high metabolism, I'm a male and I had the same problem I was 145 pnds and 5'10.. I could eat like a horse and just never gain weight.. Thats when I was younger it lasted all the way up till I was in my late 20's.. I am now about 170 and still am not fat. BUT I was very suprised at the speed that I gained the weight. I exercise more and am on a diet from my wife,(I talk about it on a blog- http://www.blizzzard-loseweight.blogspot.com ). Because I got really freaked out when one day I weighed in at 190! My whole life I was skinny like you then within like 4 months I gained massively. I believe with my age, my body went through some changes and my metabolism for some reason, went to crap. I now am pretty carefull not to just eat anything that comes by and I eat healthier and keep a semi reg exercise program going. Anyways what I am trying to say is to just keep a healthy lifestyle and I'm sure you will be fine. If you are truly worried about this you should (to know for sure) Go to your doctor and ask him any questions that you might have. After all they are professionals and thats what they are there for.
God Bless

definetly...110 is a healthy weight for a woman close to 5'2
if you are starving yourself and/or over-exercising just to be light on the scale then yes it is very unhealthy. and especially if you are in the growth years. starving the body during puberty will not allow the endocrine system to develop properly and can/will cause numerous health problems for the lifespan.

i say maybe gain a bit more, just because you aren't naturally like that.
but honestly, if you like that weight, then stay at it; just don't go lighter.
you see, i'm an inch shorter than you, and the same weight.
however, i'm naturally like that, eat healthy, run, etc.
so that's how i figure my weight is healthy...
as long as you eat right, and exercise, like you said you do, you should be fine at that weight; don't be surprised if you gain some muscle from the exercise though...
**also, it depends on your age.
i'm 15, and i believe most women get their final growth spurt around 18ish, so if you're under that age, you're more likely to weigh less than you would as an adult.

I typed in your height and weight on the BMI calculator and it came out to 17.2.
Below are the BMI categories...
BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Since your under 18.5 you would be considered underweight.

I think you are fine. And espcially if you look tone...OMG! That is friggin hot!
Take these body types for example that I think are yuuuumy:
Milla Jovovich
Fergie
Gwen Stephanie
Thandie Newton
Maggie Q
All superhot chicks!
~Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna see every single one of your ribs, but if you are thin, toned, and healthy whoa momma!
You're fine...

If you don't have an eating disorder/under-eat, i am sure you are healthy. some people are small boned and can be underweight without being unhealthy.
