honest opinions please... even if its brutal

LadyGhostDuchess

I am the same height as you are and I think that 110 is to tiny.
149 means you are no longer overweight. I would suggest adding about 10-15 pounds on. Be in the 120-130s. But that is me personally.

I think it is how you feel...and if you are healthy. I think you look fine. But don't lose any more. Then I think you have some image and issues that need to be addressed. You can go the other extreme and become obsessed with weight loss. Know when enough is enough.

You look perfectly healthy. But the important question is, is this weight easily maintainable for you? Is your family concerned because you're showing ED issues?

you look fine.

the BMI is just a tool, its based on averages, it doesn't actually diagnose anyone with being underweight. 110 lbs for you might be normal, for someone else it's underweight, even if you are the same height.

But honestly, how you look is probably not your biggest concern right now. Its ED. I understand you are recovering, keep up the good work! just work on staying healthy.

Its tough to say if you are "too thin" based on the 1 photo you have up. I will say that your family, the ones that see you everyday, and know your struggles, are probably better equipped to assess this than we are.

I know your focus was mainly to get other's opinions, but realistically, we can't make that call for you. If you are still speaking with someone about your ED, raise the question next time you meet. If you are no longer seeing a professional, then perhaps you can go in for a consult with your last one and talk it over with them.

Above all else, please remember how far you've come and that your health should be your main concern.

Good luck.

I have always wanted to be little. I finally am. I can lift more than ever and run faster than ever. I am happy but preps telling me im too small confuse me! I wouldnt mind more muscle though... Maybe i should lift heavier???

As long as you're healthy then all is well, however, I think you look fine.

I wish I had your body! :-(

My (adopted) daughter is small, and when she was in the Army there was one point in her tour where the Army made her gain weight to make the minimum weight standard.

Here is a link to their chart for weight ranges proportional to age and height.

According to that chart, you are only 4 pounds short of minimum weight.

you need to be eating in a surplus to gain muscle

JUST looking at your pic..

You are skinny, but you look good! I wouldnt look at you and think "Omg, that girl needs to gain weight!"

With that being said, how do you feel? Got lots of energy? Happy? Then thats all that matters

BonnieandClyde29

oh hell no! i think you look great! dont even sweat it!

I don't think you are too thin at all.

I would simply do some heavy lifting and eat slightly more than your maintenance to build some muscle, as was suggested before. Perhaps if you had more lean mass, then your family would view you differently.

Leaving any ED aside...

One of my best school friends was always skinny. She would be downing cream buns and roast dinners and still looked like a bunch of twigs. Fast forward 30 years (scary!!), she is still thinner than me, but age and lots of IVF and other health problems mean she is now within maybe 10lb of my weight (anstead of 20lb under).

Ignoring perceptions based on appearance (which is a matter of taste)...

Are you eating a healthy balanced diet with fish twice a week, (one portion to be oily), lean meat, a variety of fruit and vegetables, whole grains and limited saturated fat?

Are you feeling healthy and well? (You say you can lift and run, so you can't be particularly weak!)

Are you actively limiting your calories to maintain your current slim shape?

If your answers are yes, yes, no then I think you're doing fine. If your answer to the third question is yes, however, i think you still need to be careful to eat enough, especially if you want to increase muscle.

As others have said, make sure you keep your Dr in the loop so they can be aware of your progress - if dr says you're doing OK you can tell your family that!

I think you look great; just right. How do you feel? If where you are feels good, then go with it. :flowerforyou:

I think your lower body looks good from the view in your picture. Your shoulders and arms look thin. I think if you worked with a trainer on lifting and ate at a moderate surplus, you could increase your muscle mass a little and just add some definition to your muscles. You are beautiful either way though!

From your pic you look fine - but you do almost look like a cardboard cut out
Unless you have health problems stay the way you are.

Your BMI is 18.3, just on the border of underweight/healthy (not that BMI is an accurate measure, it's just a guide) I think what matters most is how you feel: Are you healthy? Fit? Are you eating well?

Looking at just your main picture, I don't think you look "too" thin, but you are very skinny. You certainly don't need to lose any more.

If you're concerned, you could always eat at a small surplus, focus on lifting and gain a few lbs. You wouldn't be overweight by doing so, and would no doubt gain a bit more definition/shape.

Do you have to starve yourself and struggle to keep the weight that low or are you able to eat and have energy at that weight? If the first, eat more & let the weight level out again, if the 2nd, just enjoy the way you are.

StrongLife

You look healthy and athletic. If you feel healthy and have energy then you are just fine where you are at. Any sort of reoccurring headaches is your first warning sign. That would be telling you right there that your body needs something more or different in the diet.
