Is a BMI of 18.9 underweight?
A doctor just told me I'm underweight because my BMI is 18.9 (I'm female). Isn't 18.9 within the normal range? I haven't lost weight or anything.
You didn't state your height and weight!!

Although the BMI ranges are the same for men and women, at the same BMI, women usually have more body fat than men.
