Whether or not 115 is a good weight depends alot, it depends on body mass index and body type....bmi is the combination of fat and muscle it gives you approx. what a "healthy" person weighs at different heights For a 5'8" person with the weight of 135 the bmi is 20.5, or normal, at 115 bmi is 17.5 or underweight, but these are just numbers, go by how you feel

As a female who's 5'8", 135 lbs. is good for you because you are not short. If you really think you look bigger its only because you're not used to the weight. But don't worry, listen to your mom (not on the jumper thing). 115 lbs. is not healthy for a girl your height. I'm 5'9" and used to weigh 128 lbs. and i looked like i was dying. so trust me, those few pounds will make you look better.

5'8 115 seems pretty tiny. 135 seems to be a much healthier weight for a woman who is 5'8. It's kind of like the pictures you see of Nicole Richie and Lindsey Lohan. When they were around 130 they looked much better than they do now at 110.

Yes, that is a great weight. I have to agree with your mum, (not about the jumper lol) that you were pretty underweight at 115lb, I'm sure you look fantastic and healthy now. Take care : )

I think it depends on how healthy you are? Don't lose too much wait in a short period of time, it could really concern your health. And make sure you eat, just eat healthy! You don't want an eating disorder!
