OMG. if you have a bmi of 14.0 @ 5'3" (this means you weight LESS THAN 80 LBS), regardless of your age or your eating habits you NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR ASAP. a weight this low can kill you; there is no muscle/fat ratio at this weight that can be healthy, this much of a lack of fat can wreak havoc on your organs and your nervous system. please see a doctor ASAP.

Started a new thread with this post, with reference to the original thread. Please do not reply to a 3-year-old thread. It really slows down the server. Thank you.

The person you are quoting hasn't posted in 1-1/2 years.
