I'm hoping that you're either really young or really short? Or that you are tyring to gain and are having problem, I know its really none of my business but that doesn't sound very healthy....
HOLY CRAP! It says I should weigh 170!!! I currently weigh around 116. Looks like I have VERY poor health habits! I better watch out! I knew I eat poorly and drink too much soda. And yes, I exercise once or twice a year! I think stress keeps it off!

I don't know Kel's situation, but my sister is 5'4" and 17 years old, and she weighs about that much. She is perfectly healthy and eats a lot, but she has been very, very thin her entire life. It is hard because people constantly make comments like this to her. I know neither of you meant any harm, but I don't think it's any more appropriate to comment on very low weight than it is to comment on someone with a very high weight. Again, not speaking for Kel here, but a lot of people don't realize that people who are very thin have to put up with a lot of crap too!

Yeah wow - I got 185 and I weigh somewhere around 100-110. I think it's cuz of the exercise question. I don't particularly "exercise" at the gym or anything, but I live on the 4th floor and do a TON of stairs every day, not to mention a lot of walking from place to place. Does that count as exercise or just life? I feel bad though, yuck, 185?

total ditto. i have friends that are very slim and it's just the way they're built. bodies are just really different, and for the most part i don't think we can ever say who's healthy and who's not just by the number that shows up on a scale.
ETA: the quiz was way off for me too--i'm 111 and it said i should weigh 170. it also said that if i weighed less than 170, i'd be packing it on soon...lol, thanks a lot!

eek! I totally didn't mean for it to come off that way- I get that people can be absolutely healthy at different builds. I should have kept my mouth shut.

It's no big deal! I know you didn't mean any offense by it, and I am sure Kel does too.
