glitzy until very recently ive been 7.5 stone and im 5ft 10 & 20 yrs old! I'd say aslong as your healthy, dont worry to much about it :)

It depends on other factors such as your build, any guides you see on the internet will be very rough guides!

Hi glitzy , I wouldn't worry , you are quite small in height as well as yet , you have a few years growth to go yet where you will fill out as you mature. As long as you feel well in yourself I would be patient and just be happy . Your pic you showed earlier on here looked as though you are a pretty and healthy looking young lady. :-)

aww thank you thats gotta b da nicest anyones been to me on here

Theres alot of nice ones on here glitzybabe.......especially bigmamma!

Until I fell pregnant I was around 8st and 5'8". I used to get a lot of stick from people thinking I was too skinny. But I was eating healthy and felt healthy. I even went to the docs to have blood tests done and he said there was absolutley nothing wrong. He told me the only time I should worry was if I had a sudden weight loss.

So providing you eat well and feel well, dont worry too much. But do keep an eye on your weight to make sure youre not losing any.

That chart was a bit scarey--according to it,at 5'6" and just under 10 st I am bordering on being overweight. Yet I am a happy size 10-12 with a bit of a 'muffin-top.' Probably this is a website promoting dieting as a way of life...go by how YOU feel not questionable charts

[glitzybabe]

aw okay thank you, yeah see i have been ill recently and more often than i usually am and one of my mates say they are worried about me, but i don't want to go to the doctors because im scared of them so i just try and block it out....if that makes sense?

I agree with pastafreak,
according to that chart Iam overweight ! :O
Iam a size 10 and perfectly happy with the way I look, and more importantly I dont have any weight related health complaints.
Again going with pastafreak that website was made by a weightloss organisation, they're information is probably misleading to make you feel you need to lose weight.
