Do you think 115 lbs is too low of a weight for someone who is 5'8"?

[Anthony150]

I am thinking of making this my goal weight and wanted to hear others' opinions.

Dude, that is way too skinny for a guy. When I was 16, I was 5'8" and people used to call me "Olive Oil" and "Bean Pole" because I was so skinny.

I weighed 132 lbs so I can't imagine a dude weighing only 115 lbs at that height. That's like borderline anorexic.

[Mfinnie]

Based on averaging 4 formulas for calculating one's ideal weight, a person of your age and height is recommended to weigh between 125.6 lbs - 177.6 lbs. So yeah, 115 is a teeny bit too low.

[Errhh]

Yes. Why do you want to be so wimpy in appearance? ... chubby or fat is not ideal or healthy... but so skinny doesn't look attractive in my eyes... especially on men...

[Anthony150]

I was thinking that weight might look healthy on me because I have a small frame. What kind of look do you find attractive?

[Errhh]

I prefer broad over slender... but slender with definition is sexy... because without some definition, most guys with slender bodies look like overgrown children... and that's not attractive to me at all...

[Anthony150]

Ok, I understand what you mean. To be honest, I don't have a lot of definition due to losing muscle mass with too much cardio and lack of protein in diet, but I appreciate your opinion.

It's a continuing struggle for me to find body satisfaction, but I'm certain I will reach my goals eventually.

[Errhh]

As long as you like what you see in the mirrors 👍🏻😀!!

[Anthony150]

Yes, the most important thing is to be satisfied with what you see!

On a side note, I don't believe you are 100 years old haha.

[BellePepper]

I'm 5'7" and would never think of going that low. You need to learn to make *healthy* goals for yourself especially since you're still growing.

[depeche2015]

No as long as you're eating. I've gained weight and want to go back down! I've taken it for granted.

[Wingedz]

Why too low dude, I'm 5'5 and I weight about 132 lbs. You should be at least at 150 lbs.

[Williamdhie]

Skinny is better than being fat I suppose. But, it is way better to be BUILT! Hit the gym man. You want to have wide shoulders and big arms.

[Anonymous]

That sounds incredibly unhealthy. Why would you want to do something like that?

[Gabriellafaith]

Yes! It is way too low!!!
