OK so, my friend is 5ft 1, and 108lbs. I'm 5ft 3 and at 130lbs!!! I think she's TOO THIN! (I stole the pic from her fb by the way ) She works out (easy stuff, walking, climbing stairs, lifting 3lb weights) and she has medical issues, so she cannot tolerate some foods, but I told her to gain some weight. She took it thr wrong way, and is upset with me now, for offering her my advice.
Put it this way: She's a size 3 (at age 25!) and I'm a size 8/10 at 5ft 3. I told her she should at LEAST be 125lbs. I'm curvy, and thicker in the legs and thighs, but my friends just a scrawny thing. HOW can I convince her to gain weight? She sees her dr regularly, and he never told her to gain weight, but to watch her diet and make sure she's getting nutrients, vitamins, etc. because of her medical condition. Do you think she's too skinny? I'm asking bec. i want answers and to prove to her she's way too thin for her age. Thoughts?
Do you think my friend is TOO thin?

She’s not too thin at all as long as she’s healthy. I’m 5’8” and 110lbs... I just don’t seem to gain weight but I’m healthy (no ribs or any bones showing or anything like that and never had an eating disorder or had any body issues- it’s just genetics lol).
Everyone is different. Some people may be of the opinion that you’re a bit too heavy for your height.
Instead of telling her how you think she should be and look (according to your ideals), why not just accept her and not steal her pictures?
4'11" and 104. Stop trying to change your friend. She's not going to get curves by eating more. That's just her body. you're probably making her feel less of a woman by your constant "she's too skinny." Women come in all shapes and sizes, and as long as she's healthy and happy, just enjoy life together.
Her BMI isn't in the very thin category but her appearance is a little on the skinny side. As long as she is eating healthy and exercising to build muscle - she shouldn't worry. As she gets older she will gain weight.
Some people are just skinny like that. I'm 27 and way 123 roughly and I don't have any problems. I also have no problem eating an entire pizza. It just doesn't stick. Don't tell her to gain weight lol that's just rude.
My ex-gf was WAY thinner than her. She was 5ft 5 and weighed 106lbs (Asian) but was eating like 4 people. You friend has a BMI of 20.4 which places her near the center of the "normal" range. It's perfectly fine.
Your friend's perfect weight should be around 100 lbs and your perfect weight should be around 110 lbs. So , she is of average weight and you are a little bit overweight.
