[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5'7 and she's 105??

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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]
