5'6" and 106 pounds? Healthy or not?

[Anonymous]

I've always been on the thin side but lately I've been getting a lot of comments about how thin I am, most of them being in a negative way. I haven't gained or lost weight but all the sudden people are bringing it up. My doctor has never been concerned about it but now it has me thinking about it a lot.

Being healthy is good, but not always good, it depends on what u eat, and your diet, being fat is not also hazardous, cause whether you healthy or not one day we all Gona die, don't live your life for others, live your life for your happiness, cause at the end off the day its your body, your life, and no one gona do anything for u if u choose to stay thin and healthy or fat n unhealthy, don't ever let words make u or break u, hold your head up high and keep strong

Your doctor is the best source for info that applies to you. Have you actually asked him/her about your size/weight?
If I was to comment on someone on a forum like this, I would need to see a picture to get an idea of fat content... shape, ribs showing, etc.

I think it is a little on the slim side. I am 5' 1" and weigh about 112-115. I feel I am skinny.

As long as you are NOT anorexic, I would not worry too much.

I'm 5'1 and 97 lbs. It could be a difference in our bone structures, but I'm not bony or anything. I don't plan on losing any weight, of course.

@Calwri Makes me wonder how accurate my bathroom scales are. I will have to check.

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you for MHO. I checked my weight on other scales. It appears I am 109lbs. Ours read 3lb high!

@juicyjessie I've always been totally convinced that ALL weighing scales lie! :)

[Opinion Owner]

@Kaylyne I am just glad they do not read 3 lb low! :-o

[Kaylyne]

@juicyjessie Personally I would sooner be under than over. lol

I think it's a little underweight but not to too much. I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can always eat healthy.

[Anonymous]

You're a little underweight. I am also 5'6 and I'm supposed to be 110-145

[Browneye57]

Eat well, whole foods, enough carbs to power your activity, at least some exercise to maintain muscle tone. Good to go.
Quit worrying - there are WAY more important things at your age.

you need some more weight, you're quite unhealthy. I recommend another 15 pounds
