Answers:
you need to need to gain some weight because it is not healthy to me 85 pounds!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As someone else already mentioned, it depends on how old you are!. I only weighed 68 pounds when I was twelve and almost 5 feet tall, and didn't even reach 100 pounds until I was a junior in high school (I was 5'5" by then)!. And I was by no means anorexic!. I never skipped a meal, and I usually ate snacks between meals and at night before bed!. I was just always naturally thin!. It doesn't necessarily mean there is anything wrong with you or that you are unhealthy!.

I'm now 24 and weigh around 120, which is well within a normal weight range for my height (still 5'5"), yet people still always tell me I'm too thin!. Sometimes I think that because so many people are heavier today in general that they think someone who is technically normal is underweight, when that may not be the case at all!.

I think it's safe to say that as long as you are healthy, you shouldn't have anything to worry about!. You'll probably gradually gain some weight as you get older!.

Hope that helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I just saw your other question "Does this sound like a healthy day of eating!?
Breakfast- 1 whole wheat english muffin with crunchy peanut butter with a handful of red grapes
lunch- whole wheat blueberry bread and whipped cream cheese with a bowl of seedless red grapes
water to drink and ran 30 minutes then biked for an hour
dinner- whole wheat pita with tuna with a bit of mayo ( not alot, a little) , a spinach salad with tomato and pickles, no dressing, fruit salad with watermelon, pineapple and grapes, and a rice cake!.
250 sit ups, then lifting weights every other day but today I did for about 10 minutes and did squats while watching TV"

You're not eating nor exercising right, your underweight might end up with malnutrition and because of the lack of calcium on your diet you might develop certain problems later on like osteoporosis!.

You seem pretty young on your pictures, so try talking to your parents, consult a nutritionist, get a trainer!.!.!. Don't just make up "your own" diet+exercise plan, that's not a good idea at all!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You know you are too skinny and very underweight for your height!.

Also you measure the circumference of the wrists, thighs and calves not their width!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends how old you are!.!.!. I was freakishly skinny until I was like 15!. So its probably normal if you're young!. You really shouldn't worry about it though!. Just eat if you're worried about being too skinny!.

You're pretty by the way :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
