    Congratulations on your loss...you look amazing! If you feel you need to lose a little more to get to your comfort zone then do it. Only you can make that decision. Either way you look great!

    Great amazing job!! It's good to see these stories - they give me hope!

    As far as losing more weight - why don't you focus on body fat percentage instead. Get to whatever body fat percentage you want, and forget what everyone else says. You look really fantastic now, but you know yourself best. I just think referring to it in terms of body fat percentage instead of pounds (at least to non MFP world) may get people to leave you alone!

    You should really be proud of all your hard work!

    Edited to add: Saw you just posted that that's what you're working on. I think if you tell your friends you're aiming for between 16-18% body fat, you won't even have to mention that you want to lose more weight :) they should leave you alone then!

    Wow, you've done wonderfully!
    I think it's a good idea to change focus, like you said. Then if someone says you look too skinny, you can honestly tell them that you're not trying to lose any more weight; you just want to be stronger!

    Or: "Yes, I do think I should be a little larger than I am now, but only if it's muscle!"

    So much love here! Thanks everyone! I'm pretty much going to continue eating healthy and exercising like I am and see where it takes me! If I lose more then so be it. My #1 goal is staying healthy and fit.

    That's a great attitude to have. You look great, but if body dysmorphia is an issue, just focus less on looks and how others judge you on those looks, and more on how you feel. Do you feel healthy? Do you feel like you're living right? If so, then great! Congrats on all the progress you've made! (and love the gamer stat shirt!)

    I am 5ft 7

    I am aiming for 65kg which I have converted to 143lbs.

    Now I am thinking 143 is a silly number... maybe I should push to 139.9...... haha!

    Seriously when I reach my 143... I will decide if it is good for me based on my body and general well being.

    Don't aim for a number necessarily, now you are looking great on your photo... Only you know if you are happy in yourself!

    WELL DONE!!!!

    I feel very healthy and I know I'm living right. :) I do still want to get down a little further though and see if I feel better. I'm just going to block out the negative people's remarks on my page and focus on what feels right to me.
    I love that shirt too ♥ It's been retired to a night shirt now though.. it's huge on me :P

    I've been working at this for probably about 2 years(guesstimate!), but only started actually losing weight almost a year ago. I had my thyroid completely removed back in 2010 and I ballooned like crazy after they took it. It took my endo a LONG time to get my thyroid levels semi-normal, which really made it difficult and frustrating to lose the weight. Everything health wise is improving though.. finally!

    You look great!!! This is sooo motivating for me, I'm currently 5'6" started at 270 lbs and currently at 263 and my goal is 150 so it's nice to see someone somewhat close to my body type/goal!
