check it out for yourself

According to this you should be:

Small Frame: 126 - 139
Medium Frame: 136- 150
Large Frame: 146- 167

115 lbs for your height is REALLY low.

I'm no doctor, just my own personal opinion

As long as you are getting the proper nutrients this weight should be fine. But be careful not to drop to that low so quickly just progess slowly so your body has a chance to adapt to all the changes

Hi, I'm 5'8 is that too low?

YES

According to your profile page you weigh 133 now. That is already a healthy weight for your height. Why not focus on a fitness goal or a body fat percentage goal instead? You don't need to lose weight.

If you have to ask, it probably is.

Interesting profile. 115 to too low. Are you here to get healthy and fit? How much do you weigh now?

That is WAY too low.

If you notice you look like you could lose some weight still when you reach lower weights, it could be due to the need to develop some muscle.

I will match this and add the below. So if you want to look lean, have a tight body, then stop worrying about weight.. start to eat adequate amounts of food (20% less than TDEE) and start heavy lifting. And remember, weight loss makes you look good in clothes but fat loss makes you look good naked. And at 115 lbs, the best you can hope for would be 98 lbs of lean body mass which will make it hard to look lean and tight.

115 lbs is too low, and I fear the scale isn't going to be a good measure of success for you since you are a healthy BMI and are quite unsatisfied where you're at right now (in a previous thread you were concerned that you are obese).

I think you should take measurements, calculate your body fat percentage, and try to get into strength training to build muscle mass and tone your body/change your body composition. Losing more weight probably isn't going to make you feel like you're the right size since you don't sound like you have a good understanding of a healthy body weight.

Also I would honestly urge you to speak with your doctor. I think you have a body dysmorphic disorder.

I truly don't say this to be mean!!

Yes, it's too low. I'm just under 5'8", with a slim build; at 131 (some years ago) I had about 20% bodyfat; meaning my lean body mass was around 105 pounds. At 115, that would be less than 10% bodyfat which is extremely unhealthy for a female.

At 133, you do not need to lose weight. You may wish to build muscle to reshape in order to look better. Of course, that will mean you'll probably get heavier, which is just fine if you are gaining lean mass!

You do seem to have some issues with your body image; I would add my voice to the recommendation to see a doctor.

Way too low...you're already at a very, very healthy weight. Medical Recomendations are 125 - 164...you're already on the very slim side; go much further and you'll just look like skeletor. You are nowhere near obsese, 138 is the "people's choice" ideal weight for someone of your age and height.

You should focus more on composition and body sculpting if things aren't exactly where you want them.
