Stop? Pause? Keep going?

I have hit healthy bmi
but not my original goal. I am happy with how I look, though, except for the loose skin, which is now kicking in. I have lost 4 stone in 7 months but it wasn't lifelong weight. Do I : a) stop now b) give it a rest to allow my skin to catch up c) keep going regardless? I am thinking pause. What do you reckon?

Only you can answer that. If you're happy with your weight, then there's nothing wrong with giving maintenance a try. I am not too sure about the skin catching up. I don't think that actually happens. I know people say that a lot, but I think the elasticity is gone regardless of rate of loss or time that passes. I'm not an expert, though.0

d - look into some type of resistance training; weights or dumbbells or body weight exercises0

Thank you L4L, that looks interesting. I think I am going to slow my weight loss right down, reconfigure how I spend my gym time, moisturise and hydrate like crazy and see what happens.0
