Maybe you should eat an occasional piece of pie. There is such a thing as too thin. When I got down to 136 one time, I felt I was too thin for my height.
Nah, I'm not too thin...
1. I have a lot of legs for my height (i.e. short torso) My cycling inseam is 33.5" and I ride a 56cm frame and the seat is all the way up (granted it's only a 200mm seat post)
2. Swimming and curling (the sweeping can be very strenuous) keep my upper body toned
3. I haven't totally lost the "mid-section" cushioning yet
4. When I was in my 30's, I would get down to 135lbs during the racing season (triathlons/duathlons and some bike races)
5. And as I said, I do *not* skip the pie, or the cake, or the brownies, or the cookies
