How did you know when to stop losing weight

qwho - I look pretty similar to your photo, but here are my stats.

UK size 14. Bust 36 in, Waist 30 in, Hips 41 in. I did the test you suggested and think I'm medium frame.

I carry a lot of muscle in my legs. My lowest weight ever has been 126 lbs (my periods stopped).

My lifestyle is active and I'm on 1790 cals before exercise. I'm down to lose .5 lb a week and at the moment its still coming off, so will probably keep going til 165lbs are reached.

I'm also 46 yrs and feel more mature ladies need slightly more padding

we sound very similar, those are my measurement almost exactly and I am in a us size 12 (not sure how that compares to a uk 14)

I do not think I look thin in the photo (admittedly not a great shot either lol). I still have some padding on my hips and perhaps a bit of a muffin top (depending on what I am wearing) and still have a remnant of the 'back crease' thing going on (not sure what to call it) so I think a few more pounds lost might benefit me (course, nothing says I will lose it in those places). I have noticed the weight has not been coming off nearly as fast lately, so definitely my body is trying to hold onto the weight at this point
still coming off but much slower

LOL sounds like we want to get to about the same size and shape, only difference will be our lbs. I obviously carry more muscle to have the heavier poundage. Good luck on your journey. :happy:
