    what the heck?! Dude, your sooo skinny! That is actually too skinny! She's just jealous, and if she keeps bugging you than suffocate her with some peanut butter and a muffin :p. Thats what my friend told me when I was going through a hard time. I'm 5'3 and got down to 92 pounds. I'm not a lot more than that, but not overweight at all, but trust me... your not fat at all! I weight more than you and everyone says I look thin, and I'm like 5 inches shorter!

    0. I actually believe you are underweight.

    At girl was probably being sarcastic as to saying you are too skinny.

    Trust me, you are really skinny. I am 5' and 112 lbs. I would say I'm a little heavy.

    You, my friend, are not overweight in the slightest bit.

    At Lamp: your about right for your height. Im 5 foot as well, and my doctor tells me that anywhere between 110 and 130 is a good healthy weight.

    As for the asker, unless you have fat rolls the size of a watermelon, your fine. And actually, someone your height wshould be around 120-140. Go eat a chocolate cake.

    Are you kidding? You're completely normal for your height and weight. Don't let others judge you differently.

    I'm 5'9 and weigh 145lbs and my friends tell me that I look skinny.. So that girl that told you you're fat is probably either anorexic or just clueless about knowing what normal people look like..

    Source(s): I've seen what overweight looks like and it's not you sweat hart

    Punch that girl in the face. I'm shorter and heavier and get told I'm skinny all the time. Work out your BMI and if its below 18, that is considered underweight :)

    None. You could even gain 5 pounds and still be skinny. She was probably just jealous.
