People tell me don't lose anymore......

You look awesome and congrats!! I think it's totally up to you!! And as one poster said that others thought he was obsessive about going to the gym, etc, I'd rather be obessive about losing weight and getting healthy than obsessive about sitting on the couch doing nothing!!!! You are an inspiration!!

I have to agree with other responses in that you look fantastic! That said, I also agree that you should continue to work toward a goal that makes YOU happy. People who do not see you every day just see a lot of loss from when they saw you last and that may be what concerns them. If it is genuine concern, offer to show them this site and explain what you have been doing and that it is the HEALTHY way to get to a healthy you.

You did an amazing job and look great!!!
Don't go by what other people say, they are not you and they don't know how your body feels. Do what feels tight to you.

I am 5'1 3/4" and currently weigh 130. I am determined to get down to 110/115 again and stay there this time. At that weight is where my body feels the most comfortable. I have had a tumor removed and have a scar across my bikini line and when I am over 115 my scar hurts and bugs me. People tell me that I look fine, but I want to feel comfortable in my own skin.

Good luck to you! Stay determined!

Im going to add my opinion to everyone elses.... YOU LOOK AMAZING!! Way to work your butt off girl!!!

As for loosing more weight..... are you doing this journey for yourself or for everyone else??

Lose until your are happy and feel "ok now I can stop".... Its all up to you.... opinions are like buttholes.. everyone has them... and while some may share theirs out of love for you... you still have to put your foot down and decide whats best FOR YOU!!!

Good luck and keep up the good work!!

You look awesome!!! Totally up to you if you want to lose more or not! If you are not sure maybe maintain for a litlte and work on just strength training when you decide? Either way you look amazing and its a choice only you can make!

Are you happy with how you look? Maybe toning will take care of your problem areas or maybe a few more pounds... DO WHAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY......I was never happy with my body til I found MFP and with the calories and the exercise, i am almost where I want to be.....

I think you have done an amazing job! One thing I wanted to suggest, have you ever had your body fat measured by a professional using a caliper? My dr. tried to tell me that I need to be at 125 at 5'2". I have never been that small in my life since puberty. I'm currently using a local meal delivery service, its owned by a professional body builder and gym owner in my area. He measures both my husband and me ever 3 weeks, he does body measurements, weight and skinfold measurements with a caliper. The first day I met him he asked me what my goal was, and I said 155, he looked at me like I was crazy then asked how much I weighed. I told him 198lbs. He made me get on the scale. When he did my body fat measurements and called me the next day he said he and I will never be able to use the BMI chart bc it does not account for how much lean body mass you have. He told me at the time that I had 121 lbs of lean mas which means that I WILL NEVER BE 125lbs, unless I lose muscle tone. Heck no! He said at 155 I would be at 22% body fat that's considered FIT. The first three weeks I lost 9 lbs of fat and GAINED 2lbs of muscle. So now my goal weight is 160, that's 23% body fat. I think some people just have a leaner body than they realize. The number on the scale is NOT as important as your FIT LEVEL.

I don't understand why people always feel the need to make comments like "you're wasting away" and tell others not to lose any more weight- unless of course someone looks emaciated or sickly! It's a personal decision and you should do what you feel comfortable and are happy with!! And you look GREAT, fantastic job!!!

I'm 5'3 and just now a little under where you started. I already have people telling me not to lose anymore. I've decided that it has way less to do with how much you may (or may not) need to lose and much more to do with them seeing a big change and not wanting you to change more. BUT, it's not up to anyone else. It's up to you. I think you look great as you are, but I definitely don't think you'd be unhealthy if you went a little lower. I'd try to get an accurrate body fat % and go more by that than the scale though.

Agree whole-heartedly. My fiancee's mother did a medically supervised weight loss program and they told her that to have a healthy body fat %, she shouldn't go below 175. She's 5'5" tall. I know that has to be either overweight or obese by BMI standards, since my goal at 5'9" is 170 and that's at the highest end of normal for my frame.

Great job on your weight loss! I'm 5'3" and I started my weight loss journey at about the weight you are now and I did not look as good as you (I didn't look good at all). Your hard work is paying off. It's your body, so if you want to lose more weight, then do so. Go by how you feel and what you're comfortable with. When I was about 140 lbs I was told I was too skinny. I still felt out of shape and did not like how I looked in pictures. I still continue my fitness journey (not trying to lose weight anymore, working on building muscle) and at 125 lbs, I feel comfortable and more confident in my own skin. So do what you are comfortable with at least you are doing it the healthy way!

You look great!

I think sometimes the people who love us are used to seeing us bigger...so when we lose a lot of weight, they may perceive us as being too thin only because they have not seen us thin before and they think of us as bigger people.

If they were to see a stranger with your exact body type, my guess is that they would not think that person is "too thin".

Congrats! You look wonderful:)

As many others have said, do what feels right for YOU!

Congrats!

Stop where you feel comfortable,not your family and NOT charts.

Weight looks different on different people.

I agree with everyone who says you have done a great job and are looking wonderful. I also agree with those who say you need to do what feels great for you.

BUT, you DID ask for opinions and here's mine. I think you could stand to lose a bit more. 5, 10, 15? I am not sure. Maybe do 5 lbs at a time and reassess? You could go about life as you are and be fine, no doubt. It's up to you how far you want to take it.

Again folks, she asked for opinions and this is mine. OP, your hard work shows. Congrats to you!

I agree. You have clearly done a lot of hard work, and it shows! Go you!

But, as a complete stranger to you - there is definitely further you could go. Now, whether that means "losing more weight", or "gaining more muscle/losing more inches" - that's up to you. Your actual weight may or may not hit 135 (bone density and lean mass will certainly factor in) - but I don't think that's an unreasonable goal. Losing another size (or maybe two!) definitely looks do-able, to me. Judging by the results some other MFPers have gotten by lifting heavy, I'd recommend that.

I'm 5'1", and my goal is 110-115, with a small bone structure. 135 on *me* is at the top end of overweight, and it looks it. On you, with another couple of inches on me (and what looks like a medium bone structure?), a toned 135-140 would probably look really great.
