skinny, but that's ok. If you could pack on another 40 pounds, that might be good, but it's whatever you feel comfortable with. You may have a small bone structure/frame. 200 might be too big for you.

Your more on the skinny side but your not overly skinny, You have a normal bmi (body mass index).

Answer 11

depending on if you workouyt or are very athletic it can vary. but here is a general recomedation 6' = weight extremes 137-183lbs, ideal weight 160lbs now if your extremely fit you can be over this 'ideal' weight and still be healthy. and the opposit is true you can be the ideal weight but have poor health. and if you are average then follow this genral recomedation. also you can calculate this on many different websites that have a BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator but if you choose this route use 2 or 3 different calculators  from different sources as one may not be perfectly accurate. If in doubt ask your doctor.

Answer 12

Answer 13

You're totally fine. My boyfriend is as well, 6ft tall and is 126lbs. Now that is skinny :P.  

Answer 14

Skinny.  But don't lose anymore weight!

Answer 15

If your healthy and not up chucking after you eat, then your fine. As you get older, you'll fill on out and hopefully you'll stop filling out. haha  the best way to gain weight is to get married, especially to a good cook. :)

Answer 16

That does sound rather slender but it depends on what your muscle tone is a little.  If you are slender with no muscles then I would probably consider you skinny, but if you are rather buff with a slender body type then I don't know if I would consider you skinny.  Just look in the mirror.  What do you think?  I would worry more about being healthy than weather or not I look skinny.  If you eat right and exercise then you will develop muscle tone a little later.  Chin up!!  U are probably just hitting your growing spurts faster than average.
