I am 20 years old, 5ft 3 inches and weigh 99 pounds, am i really too skinny as all my relatives say I am. I eat very well, usually two dinners everyday and healthy snacks in between meals but cannot gain any more weight than this. is this normal, and is my weight healthy?

I went through the same thing for many years. I am 26 now, about 5' 3'' and weigh about 115. For years, I only weighed around 100 pounds and everyone always told me I was too skinny. I ate "like a horse" and still do. Metabolism is different in everyone. I wouldn't worry so much.
