I was healthier at 170 lbs then I ever was when I was 155 lbs (my lowest being 135 lbs)
I was pretty skinny coming out of high school and into my 20s. In a similar way (you're probably just a little taller) - I certainly felt better/was stronger at say, 158 (BMI 24) than 145 (BMI 22). I can't even imagine being 125 (BMI 19), which I haven't been since the 10th grade. And I would likely have been regarded as "too thin" even at 145 (BMI 22) by the average American.
Having said that, ~22 pounds past the 158, I'm could stand to lose 10 to 15 pounds (or 20), no question. Virtually all of that is around the middle, compounding the problem. But, I'm not jiggly or soft - maybe just a little doughy around the middle.

Came out of High School at 135ish and now 50 lbs and a back surgery later and I have never felt better. Maybe other bodies cant handle certain weight and are classified as "overweight" but when you are faster, stronger, and in better shape than ever, I call bullshite.

I think most Americans have such a distorted or just plain wrong view of what is "too skinny". I get too skinny comments from fat people all the time but never people that are actually fit/lift etc. Like I said I'm 5'9" 155/160 but people usually guess 170-175. I have broad shoulders/ back and big legs but my face and waist are skinny and my arms are releatively small so I can see where the comments come from but its the weight guessing that makes me believe people are out of touch with reality.
