Answers:
im 5'8" acutally and quit modeling because they had me down to 108... that was far too light... I looked disgusting... my family took pictures when i returned form my excursion.. I m now a healthy and happy 132...
so in the middle of 132 and 108 is prolly as light as you should go- about 116 lol
good luck!!!
and never lie about your height... haha..ha....Health Question & Answer

That works out to a BMI of 17... Way underweight. A healthy BMI is 20-25, which is like serengeti said, about 132-160ish. If you're naturally 126 without doing anything, I'd stick with it. You don't need to be underweight to be beautiful or a model. If you force your body even further underweight than it naturally is, then you might damage your metabolism and that will mean you won't be able to just eat whatever you want without going up past 126... You might end up weighing that 160.

If I were you I'd count my blessings with having a body that sits underweight naturally and try to hold on to a metabolism like that for as long as possible!Health Question & Answer

Well, it's thin, but not overly anorexic. You won't die or anything. you are only about 10lbs underweight if you weigh that, and if you are a model you are expected to be skinny. good luck! Cant wait to see you on the cover of Vouge! :DHealth Question & Answer

That is pretty light. Be careful. Its more important to be healthy than to be vain.Health Question & Answer

No. That's extremely thin for someone who is 5'8". Your healthy weight range is between 132 and 164.Health Question & Answer
