ok...I weigh 6st 11lbs...which is about 43kg.

My BMI is 17.22...so, i'm officially underweight, as the ideal BMI is about 18.5-25

i don't feel it...I feel fine with my weight...sometimes I feel really, really fat...though i'm not...i'm skinny...

and, i eat like a b***h! Seriously...I eat what I want, when I want it...and I NEVER gain weight D:

it's weird...and scary, seeing how low my BMI is...

It's the same with me.

I'm around 30lbs underweight, but if there's something in the house I like to eat, it'll all be gone within the week.

But if there's nothing I want to eat in the house, I can go for days.

Well, those BMI calculators (assuming you just used one where you put your height, age, and weight in, rather than a professional one) can often be incorrect. I only say this because it doesn't take into account muscle mass, or certain other aspects.

I'm not an expert, but as far as your weight and eating habits go, I'd say there's nothing wrong with you. My best friend is an eating machine. I honestly think she is a bottomless pit. However, she's incredibly active and hyper. She's skinny as a rail- well, not quite- but I say she's perfectly healthy, and anyone can see that.

So don't worry about it. ^^

The BMI calculator is crack-tastic. Like C a n d y a p p l e 8 said, it doesn't account for some things; especially muscle. I rate high on those scales because of added weight from muscle.

As long as you feel healthy and bones aren't sticking out everywhere, you should be fine. XD As long as you're eating when you're hungry, too, you're getting enough. You probably just have a super fast metabolism, which is quite fun because then you get to eat whatever you want whenever you want, within reason. XD

Speaking of which, I need to go appease my terribly fast metabolism. It's been like, three hours since I last ate and all. XD

Oh, don't worry. Eating the way you described, it'll catch up with you eventually as you get older.

Heartbreak baby is half the fun

I'm underweight, supposedly as well.
And goodness, I can EAT.
I don't get full, ever.
I have one of those black-hole-stomaches.
But I'm healthy in that I exercise regularly. x:

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Maybe increase your intake of protein and calcium and whatnot, but it's really no big deal for now.
Like Jade said, it'll catch up with you.

I say BMIs are designed to make one feel bad!
Don't worry about it
Like above, your metabolism will slow down
Thus causing you to gain weight (sadly)

That's so true! They are designed to make people feel bad.
Man, i feel fat. xP You all say you're said to be underweight, and my school says I'm obese.
I have a BMI of about 25 or something, I'm 5'5" at 125 lbs.
And it says i'm obese. .____.

I am now under the impression that that is what BMI's were born to do. xD

That is horrible. 125lbs is perfect for your height!

According to those BMI things, I'm overweight (BMI of 27.2; 5'11" and 195lbs). However, my doctor has never suggested I go on a diet or to try and lose weight. Infact, he says I'm perfectly healthy, and in proportion, blah blah blah, 'you're on the right track, keep it up' type deal.

My conclusion? Muscle mass. Granted, I've got my padding, but I like it - it makes me feel like a woman. xd

According to a BMI from November last year, I'm 5' 3 and 5/16" and I am at risk for being overweight. I weighed, like, 132, or something.

I can't help it. I like to eat. I am picky and I like to eat. I need a effective diet. Is there a thread for that? There should be. For us girls who need to lose weight.

    I weigh 175. But that's only because I do kickboxing.
