"Don't lose anymore weight"

Personally, I ignore it. I got this a lot too, and it didn't really affect me one way or another - I just don't care what other people think. I know what weight feels good on me, and so that's where I want to be.

Coming from a doctor it may be different, but they are used to seeing not only you overweight, but 100s of other people as well. Their views are skewed. 150 lbs at 5'7" is not underweight, so you are just fine.

Keep doing what you are doing, and congratulations. I'm sure you feel great. That's all that matters.

If you don't like how you LOOK, why are you hung up on a number on the SCALE? Don't worry about what the scale says, throw it away. Focus on strength training gaining definition and muscle. You will probably weight more, but you will like how look better.

Great job with your weight loss. You should be proud of your accomplishment.

You did not state a reason why the doctor told you to lose any more weight. If you doctor is stating you have reached your goal there must be a reason. It is real hard to see how beautiful you have become when you lose a lot of weight. I know because I have that problem myself. I keep thinking that there is more that I can do even though my weight is now within a reasonable range for my age and height. You might want to take a period of reflection to figure out what you want to change and why you want to change your body. If you are anything like me you think you can get to perfect. Nobody's body is perfect. However, there is no reason to be perfectly happy at where you body is now. Celebrate your health.

I'm 5'8" and weigh 136 lbs. I feel comfortable between 134 and 136. I think you need to be comfortable with yourself but I think your goals need to be realistic too. I still think I have some areas that can be trimmed a little more, but I know that is just me letting my mind go crazy. My friends tell me I workout too much, but I must say I feel guilty when I don't workout, but I also know my body needs to have a break from working out every once in a while. My original goal was 146-150, but I got lower than I intended. Now I am happy where I am at, but I know that I can't loss anymore weight if I want to stay healthy both physically and mentally. Just know...we all judge ourselves the hardest.

If it had come from anybody else, I would say ignore it. However since it come from a medical doctor, maybe you should think about it. You are obviously not overweight anymore. If you do not like how you look, maybe toning up strength training is the answer and not weigh lossd.

Unless the doctor gave you a medical reason why you shouldn't lose anymore weight apart from pure aesthetics and their perception of you before, you should be fine to carry on losing as long as you're doing it healthily and are aiming for a healthy weight/BMI there should be no reason a doctor should not be supportive of you aiming for a bmi in the low 20's if that's your goal, I would understand if you were aiming for a BMI of under 20 why there may be some concern unless you're a petite frame. If this doctor is trying to put you off losing more just because of their perception of a healthy weight for you rather than being able to lose as much as you need before you're comfortable within the spectrum of healthy weights for your height that is very unproffessional.

Good luck and don't let these naysayers derail you if you're doing this thing healthily. xxxx

People everyday I dnt need to lose anymore weight I went from 183lb -132 lbs this past summer and I want to lose 7 more lbs ppl tell me I'm crazy or you're too skinny ,you wnt look right I dnt listen to it ...You're doing this for YOU AND YOU ONLY!! DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY !!!

It actually makes me really upset when people tell me this because there are so many areas of my body that I am unhappy with. I could understand if I was super thin and looked anorexic or unhealthy but I definitely have quite a bit of thickness left on me. I want to be able to wear a bikini but at this point, I can't. It irritates me when people tell me what to do with MY body when I'm clearly healthy. When I was overweight and unhealthy no one had anything to say!!! I know it gets annoying and can sometimes be hurtful but just ignore it and keep doing what you're doing. It's YOUR body, YOUR life, and YOUR happiness.

I ignore it...I hear it ALL the time, and I'm by no means 'skinny'.

I'm 5'5 and now weigh in the 123lb-128lb range most of the time, and I was assured by my doctor that this is the ultimate ideal weight for a girl of my height and age.

There are actresses my height who weigh about 110lbs or 115lbs and they are considered to be some of the sexiest women alive lol...I don't let that make me feel 'fat', nor do I let the people who tell me I'm too small make me feel 'skinny'.

I'm healthy...THAT is ALL that matters x

I would ignore them. Unless the doctor can tell you a medical reason for not losing any more weight or something. My thought on this is that people get used to looking at you a certain way and then are shocked when you come in looking thinner/different and the shock is too much for them. Doctors included.

And I hear that I am too skinny all the time. What I am is fit. People are not used to looking at fit people these days since there are so many unfit ones out there (I think anyway)

I completely understand where you're coming from! friends and family say it to me.. but I'm not at the size I want to be yet. I don't hate my body anymore, but I'm not 100% happy either.. Also it's not just about losing weight I want to feel healthy!!

Given your age and that you hate your body they are probably just concerned about your potential for an eating disorder. I'm pretty sure if you talk to your doctor about HOW you are losing weight he will see that it's a healthy thing and be less dramatic. You should still be able to lose some and stay in a healthy range, but if they haven't seen you in a while and the change came as a shock to them they are probably just worried about your methods, especially if they have seen you struggle for several years in the past. In general I just ignore people who say things like that, or give them the standard "I'm sorry you feel that way" response. I consider weight a personal decision, but a lot of people don't have that boundary.

Well dear, I know where you are coming from. I had a host of people telling me that crap a few months ago. I even had a few people suggest I gain a few pounds. It was very upsetting to me because I looked in the mirror and did not see the fitness model body that I so desperately want to have. I would read on the forums about other people hearing the same thing and would read all the comments like, screw them, its your body, do what you want, and so on, so I decided that haters gonna hate and I would stay on my path.

Last month I went to get a keratin treatment and we took before and after shots for my stylists facebook page. I was HORRIFIED at what I saw in those pictures. I saw a girl that looked like death. I was to thin, not only did I not need to lose anymore weight, I needed to gain it. Simple fact of the matter is, the mental aspect of me not feeling perfect (or those darn fitness model pics) kept me very sick in the head thinking that I had to look a certain way to be happy. Not true.

I took a month off of logging from here and gained some weight, as a matter of fact, I gained a little bit more than necessary and I am going to enjoy working out to firm and tone.

Here is a fact, if you do not believe in your doctor or the things he tells you, change doctors. The people on this site do not earn a PHD from posting countless posts on their opinion on how others should live.

Be healthy. Eat healthy and exercise. Do not deny yourself. You have a long life ahead of you and if you do it right, it will be a good one.

Congratulations on your weight loss. That is a big freaking deal. You rock!

If you ever need someone to talk to about body image, feel free to contact me. If you look at my pictures you will see what I look like, and know that I was still not happy with my body in those pics. That was a Lesa brain problem, not a Lesa body problem.

I've totally gotten that from people - saying I'm wasting away to nothing - which is totally NOT the case in any way shape or form - but they're all used to seeing me at a much higher weight. As long as you stay within a healthy weight range there is not problem with losing more weight. Just make sure you're incorporating lots of strength training/toning in the process. I wish I had done much more of that with my initial weight loss - I think then my body would be much closer to what I want it to look like if I had done more with weights earlier on. But either way - congrats on your loss - and unless you get under a healthy weight just keep pushing towards your goals!

I think you should seek out a new doctor. You obviously don't trust the medical advice of this one.
