I tried to maintain at 160 but wasn't able to, I am going to try and get to 155 and keep it within a couple of pounds. P

Maybe your doctor is wrong about you being 141. Do you have a small frame?
I am also 5'8" and a lot older than you at 59. I was 140 many years ago and unable to maintain it. I chose 160 as my initial goal...and I work to get and stay as close to 150 as I can....that is realistic for me. 
I saw that you said you failed at SB....what happened? |
