I started at 119 pounds and now I am 111. Some days ago the scales even hit 109.
I am 5'5". Maybe I should stop losing weight because it interferes my work outs. Some days I feel weak and powerless.
I chose to lose weight now because I want to train hard when the season approaches.
You lost eight or more pounds in a month and some days "you feel weak and powerless"? At the risk of jumping to conclusions, I'd suggest that you're going way too far with your weight loss. I'm 5'4 and have, as an adult, weighed as little as 111 pounds. I can tell you that I looked extremely thin at that weight; it was not ideal. Even taking different bone structure into consideration, I'd suggest that you're, at best, bordering on being underweight.

Your body (and mind) needs sufficient fuel. The fact that you feel weak and powerless at times should be a wake up call that you're not giving your body what it needs. Simply put: Eat more. If you are active and mindful of what kind of things you eat, the scale will take care of itself.
