splat,

you are so thin, don't loose any more weight. i am 5ft4 and weigh about 155, i am trying to loose more, but it's weird. i think maybe u need to throw away the scale and just feel good being you. weight shouldn't matter because different sized frames weigh differently then eryone else. it also depends on brest size, and things like that. well good luck!

Honey you need to gain some weight!! I am 5'6' and weigh like 146 or so!!! I know the charts spoken about in the previous post by "Getting Smaller" are not the best tool, but they can be for determining if you are too thin. For a person who is 5'6' you should weigh like 130-145!! If you have a very small fram maybe a little lower, but not 115! I would suggest going to the doctor so he can determin your BMI! This will let you know for sure if you are too underweight! Go and find that out...then you will now for sure where you stand on the weight issue!

love Katie
