I am 4 foot 7 and 81 pounds, is this healthy?

In normal range but: A few pounds of muscle won't hurt. Your bmi (body mass index) calculates to 18.8, which is at the low end of normal (18-25). If u r comfortable at this weight, maintain it, but if you'd like to add a few pounds of muscle, working out & increasing protein (and fluid) intake won't hurt; plus it will improve body tone, strength, & stamina. Stay healthy.
