    You are very underweight. Rough guideline: 100 lbs for the first 5 feet of height and then 5lbs for every inch over 5 feet and 6lbs per inch if you are a guy. Therefore, you should weigh somewhere around 144lbs if female and 152lbs if male. At your weight, your body will not have enough fuel to maintain itself. This is very unhealthy.

    That's ok. If you eat enough and you're healthy, then ignore all the anorexic comments. That is very thin, but some people have high metabolism like that. My mom was 5'7" and not even 90 lbs .. but now she's going to be 46 and she's pretty average. No eating disorder, either.

    As long as your comfortable with it. According to the BMI (Body Mass Indicator) Calculator though, you are considered 14.6 lbs underweight. I really would suggest, putting on more weight. I have a friend that is Bulimic, she is so bad now, that she throws up involuntarily every time she eats, She was near death by the time any one found out what was going on.

    Wow - I think you are too thin. If you were only 5 foot, then I would say great!

    I like a curvey woman - then I know I have a women in my arms!

    However, the most important thing is not how I or anyone here feels - it is how you feel about yourself. And if you are happy - that's all that matters.

    if it's natural thats fine, love yourself for who you are. you could probably even become a model!

    but if you are suffering from an eat disorder i think you should get some help. your bmi is way to low.

    honestly, gain some wait. I know extremely attractive women who are 5' and about 110-120.

    96 is way to little
