People Telling you to Stop Losing Already

I think your sister may simply be having a hard time adjusting, and she only sees how good you look now, not whether you have more to lose.

For some people, seeing someone they care about visibly lose weight just pushes an almost instinctive "Welp! Are they ill?!" button very early.

You should be proud of your accomplishment so far. You are right to aim for BMI in the healthy range. That is an important goal.

I agree with the other posters. You keep doing what you're doing because you're looking great! My husband says his older sister is too skinny and he's worried for her health but in reality she looks really healthy and strong. My grandparents told my brother to tell me to stop losing weight because I was "falling off" the last time I was home. Family views are not necessarily based in reality but are instead based on love and concern.

You look amazing. You **can** change your body composition by changing your diet (less carbs / sugar (15%) , more good fats (40%) and protein (45%)) and in about 4 to 6 months you will look "toned"... and you'll also lose that last 20 lbs! LOL

I had similar issues with my younger sister. I was always very chunky and she is petite. In fact, she has hyper thyrodisim and most of her like was 5ft and 100lbs. After her second child she gained some weight, but still she was between 120lbs and 130lbs. A few years ago (pre pregnancy weight gain), i went down from 215lbs to 135lbs and I am 5ft 4. Well before I hit the 130's she kept saying I was losing to much weight, but it was the healthiest I have ever been. I ate clean and ran 5k's at least 3 times a week to burn the fat. I am not sure if it was jealousy but I think it was hard in her mind not to see my overweight, as I have ALWAYS been overweight since childhood. It was the first time in our lives that I could actually fit her clothing... So it may just take your sister time to get used to it. It might just be shock ! Keep up the great work, and just do what makes you feel good!!!

It could be jealousy, it could be concern - either way, if the two of you are close, why not ask her if she'd like to join you? Coming together could help the both of you ^^
Share factual information to her to showcase that you aren't harming yourself by losing weight and getting fit, and that you'd like to see her happy and healthy too?
