So yeah, should I work out? and gain more

orrr..stay how i am?

Answer 1

no! your really pretty and your figure is nice, your petite and you don't look unhealthy at all!

i weigh 119 and am 5'8 but i'm just naturally like that and i get told i'm skinny all the time mostly by adults, but i like my figure and i look healthy and my friends/guys like it too, so i'm happy with it=]

Answer 2

If that's how you are naturally, then don't worry about it!  As the years creep on you'll gain weight naturally, and then, believe me, you won't want it!  =)

Answer 3

I've heard that a lot from people too and I must say I know how you feel! LOLz As for the skinny part, you should really check your BMI because sometimes a person might look skinny but actually is considered healthy. Check this website: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ and calculate your BMI to see if you're underweight, normal or overweight.

Hope that helps! :)

Answer 4

no your definitely not too skinny I think your fine but if your really concerned then working out could work

You could try:

-Squats about maybe 100 a day (50 in the morning/afternoon and 50 at night)

-Moving your legs sideways about 50 degrees sideways maybe 100 on each leg (50 on each leg in the morning/afternoon, 50 on e. leg at night)

But I do know how you feel people say I'm skinny ALL the time, its really annoying

Answer 6

I dont think your too skinny dont listen to what others say, hey im the same age and 90 pounds some people are built different so different weights are fine for them that wouldnt be fine for there friends. Dont sweat it.

Answer 7

Well yea your thin, but you look healthy to me. You dont look weak, annerexoic, or scronny, you look like a good young teen girl. I wouldnt say you need to gain weight but if you wanted to gain some more muscle, that would be nice. I think your fine, and very pretty

Answer 8

people tell me im too skinny all the time . its just the way my body is its not like i chose to be this skinny . i just learned to ignore them and dont let it get to me and to love the way i am

Answer 9

No, you're like the perfect wieght, they're probably just jealous haha

Im 5'01" and weigh 100lbs, and people alwaysay im skinny, but just take it as a compliment, they could be calling you fat!

Answer 10

Your skinny, from the first picture I would have said that you were too skinny but I saw the second picture too and I would say that you don't look unhealthy but for your height you should weigh 130 lbs ( your supposed to add 5 lbs for every inch after 5'0) you are skinny but not toooo skinny

Answer 11

edit: yes you are fishing for compliments. "i feel ugly because i'm too skinny, what do i do." bullshit.

by the way, you are SOOOOOOooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 12

you and my big sister are just alike, she is really skinny but cant gain woth a c**p, but i think you look healthy, so dont worry about it, i would happily trade 2 be that tall lol (im really short)

Answer 13

According to your BMI (17.8) you are underweight.

BMI Categories:

Underweight = <18.5

Normal weight = 18.5-24.9

Overweight = 25-29.9

Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater  

Answer 14

Everyone's body is different. as long as you are eating and exercising when you should, you are fine. Your just naturally skinny. good for you. don't try to gain weight.  

Answer 15

Answer 16

I think you are fine. Your not to skinny. You just have a high matabalism. (idk how to spell it) I get that alot to. its not fuun, cuz i always have people asking me if im anerexic. buut im not. Buuut no i think your not to skinny, and you should stay the way you are.

Answer 17

I think you are fine.  You don't look too skinny to me.  Some people will say that just because they are jealous of your body.

You are young and that is normal.  I was 125 and 5'8" and everyone told me I was too skinny and I was eating all the time.  It has caught up with me now as I have aged.

Answer 18

No you're fine! You don't seem too skinny at all. The next time you go to the doctor you can ask them what percintile your weight is in. That might help you get a feel of where you are. You could also calculate your BMI (body mass index) on the internet.  

Answer 19

You are skinny, there's nothing wrong with that it's not like your starving yourself or anything your naturally that way!

Your fine the way you are!

Your body is perfect!

Have a  nice weekend!

Answer 20

I'm 15

5"7

And weigh about 103.

Stay the way you are.

People say you're too skinny cause they are most likely jealous

I get told i'm anorexic and it pisses me off..yeah its annoying but i eat a lot.

I think you should stay the way you are if you're comfortable with it..

If you arent comfortable with it and you think it the way people think about you is more important than the way you think of yourself then you can change and get fat. :D

but this is the way you were born and you probably have a high metabolism like me, too..but so many people would kill to be like you, believe me.

=)

Answer 21

You look perfect to me. Don't gain weight because, it wouldn't suit your frame. Your frame carries your weight in all the right places atm, so i bet if you started eating more it'll just go to your belly or something, and you don't want that.

Just eat 3 healthy meals a day, along with some snacks and things, and you'll be fine! Don't forget to exercise too, walk instead of drive or take a bus, and perhaps play a game of tennis with your friends every now and again. Just don't get into the habit of being lazy because believe me when your metabolism slows down, all the weight will pile on....NOT GOOD D=

Just embrace your skinny frame, some people are lucky to be skinny and actually have it SUIT them, unlike me :(

take care!

Answer 22

     your perfect.the next time you hear you are to skinny.just say.thank you.they just wish they could look as good as you do.

Answer 23

you look fine. stay how you are. everyone tells me im too skinny too, but i don't think i am at all. so i don't listen and just ignore them.  

Answer 24

I'm not g*y, but your really pretty. And no, I dont think your THAT skinny. I have a friend who eats a ton, and is skinnier than you. Just dont get skinnier.  

Answer 25

Listen you are fine and you should not be asking this question. What you think of yourself should be the only thing that matters. You are pretty and still are young.

Example: When I was your age and younger I got called wite out and chicken legs cause I was skinny. That made me self conscious. I didn't wear shorts like you and was scared to show my body. Now I am 28 and have a child. I think I was stupid for not showing my shape, no stomach n skinny. I would kill for my old body. As you get older, your body changes and some of us gain weight.

So what  I am saying is forget these people. They are being mean, or are fat themselves. Misery loves company.

Answer 26

You look healthy, not too skinny. If you're concerned about your health or if you want to prove others wrong, calculate your Body Mass Index at http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

Answer 27

You are really skinny, but you didn't look dangerously skinny to me. Just make sure that you are eating for every meal and aren't skipping any of them. [and also don't eat super small meals] if you are doing everything normal then there shouldn't be a problem. If you are worried about it though, see a doctor and find out if you are like, i think malnutrioned or something. I dont know the word, lol.

Good luck!

:]]

Answer 28

what ever you do don't change you look great. ignore those other people telling you your too skinny. they are just jealous. you don't need to gain any unless you want to. that is up to you. don't feel pressured to stay a certain weight

Answer 29

yes you are skinny but thats not a bad thing !

all body types (natural) are beautiful weather your extremely curvy or extremely skinny or somewhere inbetween.

and you are not TOOOOOO skinny

my sister is like 5'5", 19 and weighs under 100 but she runs like 24/7 lifts (for xc) so its not like shes unhealthy its just her body type.

stay the way you are !!! and to people that critizize your body either ignore it or be like listen this is my body deal with it!!!

xoxo,

Mimi

Answer 30

NO you look fine

Answer 31

You are fine, honey. If you wanna do some weight training to get more toned and athletic looking go for it. But you are not too skinny. Mary-Kate only wishes she were too skinny. Someone wants you to get fat so they can feel better about themselves. As long as you eat, and exercise you are good. If you're happy that's all that counts.
