Dear all, I would like it, if there are any woman out there that have lost weight and now weigh 120 lb - 140 lb with pictures if possible.

I am 51, 5 ft 5" tall and at the moment weigh 155 lbs, two year ago I lost 65 lbs and got from 215 to 150 lbs, I was happy, but wanted to carry on until I got to my pre marriage weight of 125lbs, but husband, family and friends all kept saying the same thing, "you've lost enough, you will be ill etc etc if you carry on...

So I stopped and have kept the weight off, apart from 5 lbs, but now I want to carry on, until I feel happy with myself and get to the 125 lbs again.

I would like to show my husband that these ladies are this weight and don't look ill or are too thin,

Thanks in advance

    I can totally relate---I am in a position of having lost 50 lbs (178 to 127) and now my relatives are telling me that I am too thin now that my size 4 jeans are getting baggy but I want to keep going until my goal of 120-125 so that I can have a little wiggle room for maintenance. I will agree with my relatives that my face (and my butt) has gotten ultra thin and that makes it appear that I don't have much more to lose lest I get "sick" or "too thin" but they don't see the tummy that's underneath the clothes---I hide it well, lol. But yes, I am in the same boat but what the comments made me realize is that perhaps what I have been SAYING and DOING in regards to these last few pounds is what makes them concerned, not the actual weight loss itself. If I am making myself miserable to get there or constantly talking about my frustration, or complaining about my clothes falling off, then of course they will be concerned. It helped me to change my attitude, look less outward for support (aka keep my comments to myself and congratulate myself b/c I won't get that from friends/family any more) and just "keep on keeping on." My goal is my business and anyone who has lost weight knows that a person usually gets about 5-10lbs too low before they find the right balance and are able to maintain. It's all trial and error. Congrats on your loss and feel free to snoop my profile pics (and friend me) to see how much I've lost =)

    My profile pic was taken last summer; I'm 5'7 and 130 lbs. I feel great at this weight. Would be even happier at 120 but that would be too much work to maintain.

    The pic was taken after a 50-mile bike ride, and I lose one day from work due to sickness about every 2 or 3 years, so I doubt that my weight level is unhealthy.

    Hi! I'm 50, 5'5", 134 lbs, size 4. Sorry, I don't have a suitable pic of myself right now, but I know exactly what you are going through. My family is just as busy picking on me and nagging me about 'how thin' I am. I found out, it's all relative....to their own, mostly unhealthy body weight and shape. When I'm around, they simply feel guilty about stuffing all that junk food down their throats. They have the same 24 hours in a day to take care of themselves, but they lack the discipline. I'm the only one around here who doesn't require some sort of medication, and that makes me feel pretty good about myself. If you feel better with a healthy lifestyle, stick with it! Go ahead and show them! Good luck!

    Mybodygallery.com lets you sort photos by height, weight, age, shirt size, trouser size, figure shape, etc.

    It also shows you that two people of the same height & weight can look completely different.

    Profile pic (not the greatest, hate selfies) is at about 142 lbs. I'm 5' 5.5", and 54 . Currently size 10 in those Levi 501's in pic

    Compared to where I started, I'm totally happy where I am at now weight wise. My MD says I should not go below 140.

    Years ago I got to 135 and looked sunken and couldn't maintain it, so despite wanting to weigh less, I'm not going to go that route this time. I'm going to work on firming/toning and hopefully that will change the way things look.

    You look great in both pics, if I had seen your before pic, I would've said you would be too skinny if you lost more but I can see in the second pic you've lost weight from your hips/ thighs which has really put your body in proportion. Well done:-)

    There are photos in my profile. Highest weight at 5'4" was about 145 (in my main profile picture and the one in the ocean, but I don't really have a good full-body one) and I'm now about 118 (all other photos.)
