Is 108 too low a number?

Question

I'm 5'6 and 15 almost 16. I run Cross Country, and as lovely as it is to me I'm gaining weight. Muscle or not, I want to be very light as it makes running easier. If I restrict some food intake and keep up a minimum of running 4 miles daily, would 108 pounds still be too low for me to achieve? Would it be unhealthy?

Answer

Please don't restrict your diet. You can eat healthy and eat clean.  Continue to work out but 108 is quite low. Maybe ask your mother to make you an appointment with a nutritionist or your doctor.

Answer

Maybe about 115 is better.. But it's not a extremely unhealthy weight

Answer

I'm 5'3, almost 16 years old and could only wish to be that size.

Answer

I'm 5'6 too and weigh around 125 pounds. I'm 28 now and a few years ago I weighed around 115. For me, this was too light; my periods stopped for over a year and I felt constantly exhausted. I suppose it varies from person to person but do make sure you're careful. It's ridiculous to sacrifice your health for the sake of being thin.

Answer

If you run everyday it shouldn't matter what youngest because you are burning it off. My friend used to be chubby and she started running without changing her diet too much and has lost a lot of weight. 
​She is 5'3"'and around 110 pounds

Answer

I'm 5 even and weighed 80 lbs. So unhealthy.. Im now at 95. I looked at a weight cart, you should be at least 120 or so.

Answer

I'm 5'4 and 115 pounds, I'm super close to being underweight, but I'm also healthy
