Am i underweight-please answer honestly?


i just turned 16 and i weigh 100 pounds. i dont have any eating disorder but i have a high metabolism...or so im told and i have acid reflux.

my height- 5ft6in

No, you don't sound underweight. But if you're concerned, always consult a doctor. When my daughter was 16 (she's 20 now) she begged me to take her to the doctor, because everyone - including total strangers - were always making negative comments to her about being so thin. And you know what the doc said? That she was one of the healthiest teens he has ever seen. It seems that society has issues with people who are naturally thin. But on the flip side, society has a problem with people overweight. You just can't win. If you feel and are healthy, then don't let other people get you down.

yeh im 20 and weigh like 130ish my docter says i have a high metabolism and thats it normal for people young too.....im told by lots of people that around your mid 20s u start to pack on the weight...so dont worry youll be nice and fat soon :)

yes, you are underweight. At 5'6, i think you should have 15- 30lbs more than what you are now. For you to still look hot, just exercise but keep it like 120 or so.

yes you're underweight, in fact on my diagram you're very underweight i suggest you see a doctor VERY soon.
Hope I helped

actually no,ur fine, ur bmi (body mass index) is 22.417, i know this because if u go on seventeen.com click on Health+Sex+Fitness and then click on BMI calculator u type in ur weight and height in inches (56) and this thing will pop up u look 4 ur age and since ur 16 it will say that ur bmi (22.417) should be inbetween 16.8-24.7 so yea hope that helped ya
:)

honostly chica medicaly yes you are. I am 5 ft. 7 in. and used to weigh 140 and people said i was to thin, now you'r a little shorter than me but not 40 pounds worth.

P.S. want to trade matabolisms with me I wouldn't mind having a fast matabolism for a while.

NOPE YOUR FINE MY MOM WAS 101lbs when she was a senior in high schoo,l and i'm in 9thgrd. and i'm only 83 and perfectly healthy

i always thought that i was under weight and i still think i am i weigh 67 pounds and i am in 7th gradeso.... stop complaining

Clinically, you are underweight BUT since you say you have naturally high metabolism, then I don't think your weight should be an issue.
