Advice Needed- Losing Weight, Upcoming Wedding

Hi there!
So I'm getting married next July. That leaves me with 10 months to go. Since last April I have lost 55 pounds, taking me from a large size 16 to a small size 12. I have kept my boobs and butt, and basically just look like a thinner (better) version of my former curvy self. Now I'm facing a dilemma- how much weight do I keep losing and still look like myself?
This has definitely been a lifestyle change, and I know I could keep going and probably get down another 30 pounds before the wedding, but will I still look like ME? All my life I've been more Kardashian/Beyonce than super-slim. Now super-slim is within reach and I don't know if I want it anymore. What would you do?

You seem to be happy with the way your body looks now. Rather than focusing on weight loss, why don't you work on maintaining and improving your overall fitness?0
