A member asked:

I am a 27 year old female and i weigh about 119lbs. is that dangerous? i eat three meals a day, stay health and such. i also have a high metabolism.

Depends: Whether 119 lbs is a good weight or not depends mostly on how tall you are. If you are 6 ft plus that is far too little weight; if you are 5 ft 2 inches it could be a good weight. See your doctor and discuss your ideal weight and how to get to it and stay at it.
