Ive seen some women on here that look too thin to me... I was once considered too thin and very underweight at 5ft.10 and 6-7 stone, but i really could'nt see it myself ... i wasnt dieting i was just very active and lean, i couldnt gain weight if i tried then.

consultants told me to aim for 7-8 stone, im a bit concerned thats too thin for me now.... ive shrunk in my old age so im 5,9 now but i think 10-12 stone would be a healthier weight.

I hope if i ever get too thin again someone tell me! lol

What would you consider too thin?

    What is "too thin" really depends on a person's height, body composition and body frame. But I do agree with you that 7-8 stone (98-112 lbs) sounds really low for someone who is 5'9.
