    You're a little underweight but it's hardly anything to worry about. I wouldn't. You're young and still developing. This just means you don't have to feel guilty when you want some chocolate. (:

    Your BMI is 17.7 - to be "healthy", it should be 18.5 or above. So you're HARDLY underweight. Really, don't worry and get yourself some sweets when the cravings hit you! When you're older, your metabolism will probably slow down..so enjoy it while you can ~

    Just follow my lead honey,sorry i can't tell you my age but i am under 20,193 cm,198 pound.....last june i was 193 cm and 120 pound......

    drink milk 2-4 cups a day,eat big meals like spaghitti and boiled potatoes....if you want to eat other things do it in the morning but those foods you will need the just before going to bed.just do what i said and i think you will get a great shape at this age.

    Wait.. what? 9lbs in purely over a week?! The healthful option is loosing between one million-2 pounds a week, yet whilst your too under pressure to look skinny and wipe away all your probelms, by using fact being skinny truly solves each thing doesnt it? So my chum ask for some "ideas and tricks" out of your friends on the professional ana community. happy to help.
