Yes, there is something wrong with a lot of us. Most people in industrialized nations have a disease that causes their insulin to not work so hot, called insulin resistance. Heard of it? So we can't eat a bunch of fruit without our energy systems going haywire and cusing us to feel hungry for more constantly because our muscles are starving. It's a bummer but at least we know.

Could be that your goals are unrealistic. 5'7" 135 is a fine weight. Sure you can lose more weight but at some point in women you start hitting hormonal issues or lose more lean mass than you would like. Don't know for certain....whats your BF%?

When I was at 135 lbs, and I am 5'7" tall, my bf% was almost 25 %. At 125 lbs, my bf went down to 14%.

You will not have hormonal issues if you stay over 10 % bf.

I am fairly certain for woman its over 16%.

It depends where you take the info. It varies from 10 to 13 % depending on where you read. Amenorrhea is a way of saying "not enough body fat" from the body.
