Your Body Mass Index at 120 pounds and 5' 6 " would be 19.37-- your weight is fine.
Under a BMI of 19, and you risk the health problems of being underweight.
I recommend researching Body Mass Index or BMI.
703 x weight in pounds / Height in inches, squared
If you lose 10 pounds at your weight, you might not be able to open doors unless you use your foot to push, due to reduced muscle mass. And winter is getting colder in the next few months, someone who loses too much weight freezes due to lack of insulation.

115 is a good and average weight. if you do want to lose weight i recommend 5 pound instead of 10 pounds for your health

if you're 5'6 and you weigh 115-120 i think that's a pretty good weight! it's not at all fat but it's not like anorexicly skinny!

You should work out your BMI. if it is 18-25 you don't need to lose weight. Over 25 is overwieght less that 18 is underweight.
i usedr a calculator on the net and your BMI is 18.6
you don't need to loose weight, just try maintain it.

the weight that you are now is ok. to be honest you could stand to gain some weight. if you lost 10 more pounds, that would be too skinny.
