142 is pretty thin for 5'9" - you should eat some more. It's not underweight, but I think it's only 10 pounds from it - if you're continuing to lose weight, you should be careful. I've been hovering around that weight most of my life, and if I could gain more weight healthily I would (ridiculous metabolism)

I agree choisrsoftheye not trying to be douche-bag but have you tried working out more with weights that is cuz u know muscle is heavier than fat which would increase your weight a little or lot. I also have a ridiculous metabolism


 Yeah, I lifted weights and even played football for two years of high school.  Didn't make a difference.  I was a lifelong vegetarian at that point, though, and since then I really haven't had the time to do long workouts (college took up a ton of time, and 40 hours of work a week is well, a lot of time, and I'd have to pay for a gym at this point).  I'm starting up on some simple routines that don't that well.

And no worries, you're not being a douchebag at all.

 

@Wojtas - that is a pretty ideal weight for your height.  I'd say that eating a bit more might help with the headaches.  Or drinking more liquid - do you drink a lot of water?  Headaches can come from dehydration.
