Yes: If you feel well and are competitive in your favorite sport, you're probably fine. Many elite track-and-field athletes are underweight. It's about the big picture, rather than a number assembled by beancounters who studied scrawny drug addicts and alcoholics but ignored very aerobically fit people. Your physician and common sense are your best guides.
