    I'm 5'4" and for many years I thought the thinnest I would ever get was 150. I just thought that was where my body was comfortable landing, and my previous losing attempts usually ended around there before I regained.

    But a few years ago I got to 130 and stayed there for a couple years and felt much more natural at 130. When Covid hit I just kept losing even though I was eating about 2000 calories a day (I was more active than I realized) and got all the way down to about 118 (maybe 116 at my lowest) and stayed between 118-120 for several months. I have to say it felt quite natural for my body - I realized I am smaller framed than I thought (although sadly I really lost a lot in my boobs - went from a C to an A cup!).

    I gained some weight over the holidays/election period and got up to about 133. I'm now back down to 128. I think about how this would feel so low before I realized I could go below 130 and feel good, but I am still looking to get back down to 121 - I think I feel best around there.

    Sounds a lot like me, though I've never been bale to eat 2000 caloroes and lose weight!

    Covid was a massive turning point for me and losing the weight have me something to focus on. I'm now the lightest I can ever remember being and knowing that I still don't look or feel like I'm at my goal makes me more determined to get there.

    Like you I've lost loads off my bust, I was 36D and I'm currently 34C though my C cup bras are a bit big so I think I'll end up as a B when I reach goal weight.

    The key is to keep the weight off long term now and by being super strict and active Monday-Friday and having weekends off I think I can do it. I'm not depriving myself of anything I really want and each week I see the number on the scale go down slightly. Knowing I'm already 122lbs means that I'm not in a major rush to lose the last 10lbs though.

    I do something similar - I try to keep it between 1400-1550 calories during the week but allow myself to eat more like 1800-2000 on the weekends, and it has made me really happy and I'm still losing (I stopped running outside when the weather got cold and although I still do cardio indoors, I am definitely burning less so no more 2000/day right now sadly). I agree that now that I'm not in a rush because I just have about 7 or 8 pounds to go, it is nice to find what I really hope can be a maintainable routine with week vs. weekends.

    Wow wish I could eat that much! I'm on 1200-1300 Mon-Fri and 1500-2000 at weeks, but I'm doing a lot of cardio and walking and only just started losing again.
