[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's scary that someone thinks a BMI of 19 is problematic. It's under 18 that you're considered underweight. Most of my family, including myself and my son, were under 18 for years. We are aware of the risks of osteoporosis, and take vit D supplements and know we need to do weight-bearing exercise. My mother, who had never taken supplements in her life and has always been very thin, had her osteoporosis reversed by high doses of vit D and other treatments. So even if you do nothing and have a BMI of 17... you're not going to die before your time. She's out and about at 75, trotting along.

Actually under 18.5 is considered underweight. 19 is awfully close to that.  Not a good look at 40 something. Also poor medial outcomes with low BMI.  Early menopause, low bone density, high risk for bed sores if OP was unfortunate enough to get a severe illness or injury that kept her bed bound for a more than a few days.

It’s one thing if that is just how your body was made and you can’t help it.  But it’s an entirely another to pharmaceutically induce such a low weight on purpose at that age.  [/quote]
