What does skinny mean? Are you American? If so I have a feeling our definition is going to differ. For me skinny means 100 lbs.

100 lbs is useless without height. So you wouldn't consider a 6' 3" person weighing 130 lbs skinny? I think the usual definition would be underweight (or near the low side of underweight) in a BMI sense.
