How skinny is too skinny?

So I'm talking to one of my friends that I work with, and he's telling me that his sister had to be admitted to the hospital because she was really sick. When they weighed her she was only 100 pounds. Now she 19 and about 5'8.

So that got me wondering. What is too thin for you?

Many people say that your BMI will tell you if you're too fat/skinny for your age and height. But that thing can be drastically wrong (Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone both have an obese BMI). I just pay attention to how I look in the mirror.

Remember, muscle weighs more than fat.
*currently weighs around 170, is about 5'10", and is 15*

i dunno if my weight is healthy im 5'3 and 112lb

Agreed, she was such a beautiful girl, and now she looks like she's really sick or something.

I'm 120 and 5'7 and im pretty comfortable with this, i could be a little heavier but it doesnt really matter right now. I think it all comes down to the hight like the normal weight now is like 150 or something for 5' 9"

I think you look great Ronny, don't need to change a thing.

Anything skinnier than Paris Hilton is too skinny.

anything as skinny as paris hilton is too skinny

Anything thicker than Paris Hilton is too thick. 😐

many things thicker than paris hilton is probly too skinny too.

Things that are probably too skinny that are thicker than Paris Hilton I can handle.

yeah, i could spare some lovin for someone too skinny but not hilton skinny for a little while i guess...

Here's some good sure proof ways to tell..

If you feel cold ALOT, you are probably too skinny. Both your muscle fiber is depleted and your nerve endings are not receiving enough "jolt".

I whipe my ass with what the goverment and thier accursed BMI says, this coming from the same people who believe 300 or more grams of carbs per day is good for you! (Good carbs my ass.. There is no justifying rice, pasta, and bread. It just tastes good, accept it..)

Besides the cold test, there is also how your body feels, how much bone mass can you feel? There's only three things, muscle, bone, and fat. If it's not soft, and you don't feel "ripples" to it like there's veins there, then the only thing left is bone. Which isn't helping anybody.

People have far too much obsession in how they look, why I don't know. Most people are so damn shallow and ungrateful to the things they have anyway, that they are in no position to be so damn judgemental. But I care because well, I want to see the bionic man become a reality. We can rebuild him, better, faster, stronger.. 😮‍💨

Men want the hotter girls, it's just the way it is. Now don't get me wrong, women want the hotter men too. But it all just sickens me! What is this huge obsession with being super thin? What's wrond with a average weight? When did it become ok to weigh 89 pounds and be 23ish years old??? Unless you're a midget I don't think it's healthy.

It upsets me when I see my girlfriends throwing up, skipping meal, anything to make the scale numbers go down. I use to be like that. I threw up... I just wanted to be a size 2, I'd pray everynight for it. Then, it never came, I grew up, hurt my knee and gained alot of weight. And it broke my heart. I knew then I was never going to be down to that weight.

This obsession with our weight must stop! It's a dangerous dangerous thing.

Exactly. If you are frail looking, you are too skinny. There is absolutly nothing cute or sexy about it.

You don't know why? Well I'll tell you exactly why. Because women see people like Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, on TV and then all those SUPER skinny models in magazines and feel like the only way that they'll EVER get a man is if they look like that. And I mean lets face it, it's kind of true!

I totally agree. The models/stars are not only setting false trends they are endangering there own lives.

i was about to answer the first post then i realised the person who started has been banned

I'm like 5'1 or 5'2 and weigh about 98 or so pounds.

That is perfect for my body type.
