I want to be healthy, but skinny...?!


Question: I want to be healthy, but skinny....?
I'm currently @ 5'4 & 130lbs. About a year or two ago, I was 5'4 & 107lbs. I want to be that weight again. My family & friends told me that since I have a medium body frame (big bones), that I looked ill & far too skinny. I didn't think so! At my current weight, I feel fat & unhealthy. I liked the way I was feeling before! Was that smaller size sounding unhealthy.?

* I see movie stars that are 5'7 & 100lbs, & they look healthy & sexy!Health Question & Answer

I think it probably sounds a little too skinny, but what you could do instead is lose perhaps 14 pounds (1 stone) and tone up. That would make you look better and definitely sexy! Yoga and pilates are fantastic ways to get a smooth look without looking emaciated. also, I think the movie stars you are referring to either look far too skinny, or they are not actually 100 pounds. Nicole Richie for example, she weighed 100 pounds or less at one point, and looked terrible, and she is far less than 5' 7". Given your height, I think it would be dangerous for you to drop below 115. You would look gorgeous at that weight and would not look unhealthy.Health Question & Answer

5'7'' and 100lbs and way too underweight and even though it may look healthy and sexy it definately has long term health implications (so this weight is ruled out as you want to be healthy). As far as you are concerned, your ideal body weight according to your height is 120lbs, therefore you can work on losing 10lbs (by exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet).
Looking and feeling good is also a state of mind. Spend more time looking after yourself..it will enhance your self confidence and you would feel great, not average in your weight and appearanceHealth Question & Answer

Five-four and 130 sounds pretty close to perfect to me too...much less than that and you would be venturing into skinny-ville and your bones would poke out everywhere and all your girly curves would be gone.

Those 100lb movie stars that are 5'7 are not sexy they look like they're starving with their collarbones and ribs poking out or they are being dishonest about their weight. If any of them actually have curves then its likely they dont weigh 100lbs.

Look...I know how it is to weigh more than you want to...you can go and lose a few kilos/pounds but I would suggest you keep it real and dont aim for too skinny.

You are better than average you are perfect.Health Question & Answer

OMG, you have a problem if you think 5'7" and 100 lbs is sexy.

Healthy and Skinny shouldnt go together in the same sentance unless you put the word 'UN' in front of healthy.

5'4" and 130 sounds good to me.Health Question & Answer

According to your BMI (Body Mass Index) 5'4" @ 130 lbs is perfect!
5'4" @ 107 lbs is actually under weight.Health Question & Answer

I'm 5'7" and I'm 122lbs. I'm completely healthy. However I can say that those movie stars are either lying about their weight or are unhealthy. 130lbs for 5'4" sounds like you only need to drop a pound at max if any.Health Question & Answer
