Am I too skinny?

I'm like I dunno 5'7 it's been months since I was measured and I would assume 110 pounds but i've gained alot of muscle. My dad is extremely skinny and so are my brothers but I just feel so self conscious about it. My spine pokes out, but not as much as it used to and my hip bones show. One of my lower ribs shows too. Am I too skinny? I'm not as skinny as I used to be because of all the muscle i've gained from swimming and track in my arms and in my legs.

Hard to tell without seeing a pic, but lots of girls (myself included) have bones stick out when they're at a normal healthy weight. My hip bones and most ribs show, but it's just because there's no fat over them, which is usually what happens when you're a healthy weight but most of your weight in muscle.

It's possible to tell if you're too skinny by looking at your arms; do they look normal, or can you see bones sticking out on them? Same with other places that would normally not show bone. Also, if you feel well enough, and you eat when you're hungry and all that, then you should be fine.

If you're swimming and taking track, do you have a female coach for either? You could ask her, if you're worried. :3

XD You're not lame~ That's a cute pic. Love your hair. :3

I think you look a teeeeeny bit too skinny, mostly because your arms are very thin, but I have a totally different body type so I wouldn't say I was the best to gauge. XD

You look fine!!

If you do try to gain weight then you will gain too much. Then you wont be able to get rid of it. You will really miss your old body shape.

If I were you I wouldn't change anything about myself, and be happy with what you have. (remember this is only my opinion)

... you're not "too" skinny
If it's not threatening your health
But you're into sports, so I'm assuming you're healthy, hm

But if you're worried about it
You could gain weight?
Like eating carbs
Which wouldn't affect you too much
Since you're active hm

But to me, you're fine<3
I envy you much. <3

Thanks you guys made me feel alot better about myself.

I hope you know you are freaking adorable. ;] Guitar Hero FTW.

Anyway, looking at you from your picture, you don't look anorexic at all. At 5'7 you should be 140lbs, but if you eat properly and whatnot, then there is no problem.
