I don't understand why it is imperative for people training together to know each other's weights. You're helping each other with performance goals. It really doesn't matter if your training partner weighs 110 or 115 as long as they are reaching peak performance.

It's not imperative. However I could see how it might come up if they were working out together, in a fitness challenge and trading tip s all of which would be less strange to me than randomly bringing up height and weight at dinner.

Good luck with that...

Without knowing her, that seems like it might be getting close to an unhealthy underweight frame.

My daughter rows on the lightweight crew team for her high school.
To row lightweight, you have to jump through all kinds of hoops to prove that this is their natural build (ie; the parents had to fill out a 10 page evaluation and our pediatrician had to fill out a form listing her height, weight and growth percentile every year for the past 10 years and sign off on it.

They truly want only natural lightweights who've had a slim frame for all of their lives on the team and the concern is of course, that girls might turn to eating disorders to get on the team if they're not naturally in the lightweight range.

The healthy range for a lightweight based on my daughter's height (5'7" also) is 115 - 127lbs and again, that is what they consider a VERY thin but natural build and they'd really prefer them to be closer to the 120 - 125 range for that height.

5'7 - 105lbs most likely wouldn't make the team, because there would be a REAL concern about there being an eating disorder.

That seems much too thin to me, but maybe your friends not really obsessive about running and working out... I hope not.

There’s nothing VERY thin about a teenager who is 5’7” weighing around 120 pounds.

Um, what? Yes there is. I was 5’7” and 118 when I graduated high school. I was teased constantly for being so thin, and our pediatrician gave my parents tips on increasing my weight. That is indeed very thin for that height. And 105 is anorexia territory.

105 at that height is absolutely nuts nuts. I'm 5'7', and at 118 am a size 0, at 125 a size 2. I think i once got down to 114 after a stomach bug while traveling, and everyone around me was VERY concerned, I looked really sick.

Agreed. I am 5’6, 115 and VERY thin, size 0. I frequently try to put on a few pounds because I look more shapely at 120, but I have a naturally tiny build. 5’7 105 is definitely unhealthy territory.

I’m a nutritionist and it’s obvious that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Which part of it?

10k training? Monitoring weight? Seems a bit too much for a race that will take anyone less than an hour, unless they are trying to beat their personal records.

You know the UA is having an obesity epidemic when anonymous women on an internet page are trying to tell 120 pound women that they are unhealthy.

It’s 105 pounds in a 5’8’’ woman. It IS unhealthy. It’s a BMI of 16.

You should check out Ansel Keys’ Minnesota Starvation Experiment to see what happens when normal people restrict their diets to this extent.

Posts have said that 120 on a 5’7” is very thin. And it is. It’s on the edge of being underweight. People have said that 105 with that height is unhealthy. And it is. It’s very underweight.

Well, apparently there are people here who don’t consider you thin. Sucks to be you, I guess.
