It all has to do with body fat. Probably at this point what you want to do is look "toned'. Look at these and then decide on a body fat percentage goal. From there you can figure out a weight loss goal.

So this will involve: figuring out your body fat right now. Calculating how much less *fat* you need to get to desired percentage. Take that fat loss goal and there it is.
What she said. Definitely go by body fat at this point.
I think you look great, if I were you, I might want to lose 5-10 more lb, because I like the low 20s or high teens for body fat %.
In any case. You could go to a beach now and be one of the hotter girls there, so no more is necessary.0 -
you look great, i wouldn't focus on losing anymore, i would focus on lifting weights and gaining muscle! then you will tighten up your body and look fabulous!0
-
You have a wonderful body shape. I would die to look like you! I would say weight training though just because I love weight training!0
-
I would say 10lbs tops, pleeeeaaase do not try and lose 40lbs that would be crazy!0
-
:noway: how can u expect people to tell u how much u should lose, if they dont even know how much u weigh?0
-
You look great! I can see you losing maybe 10 lbs but if you're lifting weights, you can build some muscle and keep that weight and still look better "toned".
You look fantastic btw !!0 -
I would go for what is considered "athletic" or "excellent" for a lady in terms of body fat.
That's around 20%

You look absolutely great as is. Maybe 5-10 lbs if you like. But if I were you I'd (a. be really happy about my bod) and b. probably focus on body composition like others said.0
-
I would say work on body composition, not weight. Your body fat doesn't look that high. Lift some weights!
^^^ this is my thinking too! you look great!!0 -
I am with the 5 lb people.
I also am with the weight training people as well. I say do some ab work and some lifting. You may want to try Jillians 30 day shred, that may be the perfect thing for you.0 -
As some have hinted, start lifting weights and go for a fitness look with defined abs and nice musculature.0
-
10 at the most0
-
weights only. no more weight loss.0
-
I think you look fantastic. I don't think you need to lose anything.0
-
I think you look great, I would try to tone and firm it up!0
-
you look amazing i'm probably the sameish weight as you probably a bit heavier but i'm aiming for 120 pounds0
-
too skinny is probably whatever you imagine to be too skinny. and, you are far from that now.
est. 15lbs. but, we all have different goals. my goal is probably too thin for some.
good luck!0 -
10lbs - 15 if you're going for model thin.
I have that same bikini top, btw : )0 -
DO NOT LOOSE ANOTHER POUND!!! You look GREAT!!!! You are beautiful, you really don't need to loose anymore. If you want to look more toned I suggest some weight lifting but ou really look good. I am happy for you:flowerforyou:0

^this^ How tall are you? What is your body fat %? You're beautiful, focus on your health and strength, not what a scale says.0
