I want honest opinions?

i think you should feel comfortable in your own skin. i agree you looked much too thin in the middle picture. if your boyfriend was telling you to drop some weight my opinion is you should drop HIM. I'd bet you'd feel much lighter after that! you looked young and beautiful in the first picture.

I totally agree with quoted poster. You look lovely how you are now. The middle pic you did look quite thin.
But it is you that has to be happy...

Your boyfriend is a goose. You don't need to diet.

If it means anything, I'm 5'8" and started at 150 lbs and stopped at 130 lbs and I'm happy where I am. I find between 125 and 135 to feel healthy for me but 120 seems low. Just IMO But I think you look great in all the photos!

ETA: I think the fact that you have this thread asking everyone's opinions just goes to show that there is something underlying this weight loss that is not about how you look/feel. For example, you lost weight because your bf said to, and gained weight because your friends/family said to. You gotta figure out what YOU want and where YOU feel most comfortable and happy and healthy. Not a vote based on what everyone on MFP thinks. Everyone has different opinions of what is ideal, really thin people might think the middle is great, really large people might think the top photo is skinny, when I know what it's like to be 5'8 and 140, it's not ideal for me either, and for you maybe it isn't either! Just pick where you feel happiest and healthiest!

I think you look fantastic in the third picture (the weight you are now). Your middle picture looks like you are recovering from a recent illness (sorry).

I think the only weight you really needed to have lost was 175 pounds of boyfriend!!

Wow I'm surprised people are still posting on this! But just as an update if anyone was curious....I'm back to about 140, but more toned now. I think I'm on the right track to feeling good about myself.
And yes, I did lose about 200 lbs because I dumped the guy

Just saw this!!!! This makes me so happy 140 can be great for 5'8" but body composition is important. 140 and really high BF% doesn't look great but you can be 140 with muscle mass and look 120! Glad you lost the jerk

You look amazing in the first and third picture. The second picture you look sickly.
Drop the boyfriend

You look great in the last picture. You deserve a better boyfriend.

Not read all the replies but you look great in the first pic and way too skinny in the others.
