This. That's totally nuts. I'm 5'8" and when I get down to 120...which hasn't happened in some time, mind you...I start to look ill.
Right!?!? I did drop to 106 once and was referred to a clinic. I didn't recognize myself in photos. Scary territory.
I agree. A BMI below 18 in an adult woman usually means anorexia. This is about 16. Whatever she looks like, her husband should be concerned.

We know each other's exact height. And general weight. I just had a baby so had weigh ins and shared with dh. And we always joke when e hit the point when I weigh more than him pregnant. And then I share my weight loss progress. Mostly for moral support etc. he's military reserve so gets weighed pretty regularly too. We don't make a thing out of it. It's just part out sharing info and probably some meal planning efforts as well.

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.

I thought it was just common for spouses to know this stuff. I almost feel like if you don’t know this stuff you aren’t really paying attention.
Ha, no. Some of us don't share those details. Also, I don't know my own ring size!

^Unless of course, you are doing competitive pairs ice skating where the guy has to lift his female partner a lot.

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.

Like the others who say of course they do - you sound disordered. My husband and I are both serious exercisers. I’m sure he doesn’t know my weight. I could probably guess his within 10 pounds. But those of you are like I weigh exactly 113! Are weird.
Also women that lift often weigh more than they look like they do.

By comparison, I am 5'10" and 129 lbs, and am frequently being told that I should put on a little more weight. Thus 5'7" and 105 lbs sounds like a regimen of extreme exercise and restricted eating.

Of course we know each other’s height, and often weight. And we don’t even train together.
