Is everyone with CF thin?

I'm underweight. Significantly underweight--- and have always been very thin. I think its a combination of the fact that my parents were pretty thin as well as my sister, at least until they hit their 30's. I may have to get a tube.

I'm curious about the girl who said she was underweight or struggled to gain weight and weighed 140. 140 for a girl seems pretty big unless you're over 6 feet tall.

im curious too. im 6' and weigh 145 and im not stick thin at all. if i were to be less than say 5' 8", the same weight and not extremely muscular i would consider myself to be extremely out of shape. if someone told me i needed to gain extra fat i would tell them to go to hell.

a lot of people here are being given unrealistic and unhealthy weight goals by their doctors. people have got to remember that your doctor wants you to look like a blimp, even if its not in your genetics. i would never expect a female who is considerably shorter than me to weigh equal to or more than me, unless they did some serious weightlifting.
