Do some people never see their collar bones?

My collarbones and wrist bones stick out when i'm at a healthy weight for my height, around 150 or under-it gets pretty pronounced when I get under 145 (i'm 5 foot 6, for reference). My mom always freaks out about that point and tells me to stop losing, and that I am looking unhealthy, but at that point I still have plenty to lose on my thighs and a bit on my tummy area, too. I think it has a lot to do with the way our bodies hold fat: different people store fat in different areas.

I am the same. Cursed pear shape!!! I am 5'9" with a large bone frame and my goal is 157. Anything below 150 I start getting the you need to eat comments because of the predominance of my collar bones.

Once I dropped below 200 lbs my collarbone started to become visible and it got even more visible the more weight I lost. When I hit my target weight, that's when it became visible enough for people who don't see me very often to give me the "you're too skinny" line, even though I'm at a healthy weight. Again, collarbones and other bones are going to be visible on different people at different weights and shouldn't be used as way to gauge whether or not someone is at a "healthy" weight.

I'm 5'5'' 140 lbs and mine aren't that visible. The outline is slightly visible, but they are not well defined at all. It definitely has to do with bone structure.
