Would you keep losing weight if you were me? I want to be thinner but I am staring to lose some curves (especially my boobs) and I cant decide if I prefer having them to the thinner look I'm starting to achieve. I like the way my tummy looks more and more as I lose more weight but I like the way my chest and hips look less. What would you do or what have you done if you've been here?

    If I was going to go out in a bikini then I would keep going, if not I would take it easy and just recomp.

    I think you look healthy and beautiful. Do what will make you happiest, though!

    I say stop where you feel the sexiest. Plus you can always build muscle in the spots you want to bulk up maybe not the hips but you can definitely add definition and muscle to most spots. You look great though!

    Personally, I'd be ready to stop there but you've really got to do what makes you happy and confident. I think you look great!

    You look great in both, I say that particular bikini bottom not flattering to your shspe. But either wise your doing and looking great, I'm with the other poster who said exercise to define your shape and maintene not lose. Take care

    Stop when YOU are happy. Don't worry about what the normal industry look is, the most important thing is to be happy with yourself and love yourself. Keep up the great work!

    I think you look really great .
    If your undecided or just need a change, Maybe try a progressive lifting program and eat at maintenance for a while and see how that goes.
    Do what makes you happy !

    You look sexy! If I were you, I'd just focus on waist nipping/tucking like others as mentioned. This is different from ab workouts though. I'm talking Jane Fonda vs Jillian Michaels. Both are good in their own ways... depending on what you want your waist to look like but very different from each other. Looking good though girl!

    You look awesome!! That's a tough choice. lol Just an idea here...I don't know what your routine is, but maybe check out the following:

    She started getting more curves *after* she implemented heavy lifting. How far you go with it depends on what you prefer. You have an amazing figure though!! Do what makes you happy.

    I look very similar to you right now. I'm perhaps a handful of pounds heavier. My goal is to lose another 10 pounds.

    If you are questioning if you should quit maybe you aren't where you want to be. I would look at lifting. That is the road I am taking...lose the weight and then start lifting to get to where I want to be. Once I meet my weight goal and where I am more comfortable I want to start to lift heavy. I should be doing it now but my life is too busy right now to take time away from my kids (typical mom!). If you aren't happy yet you aren't ready to quit yet.

    I would, but my ideal body may very well be very different from yours, so my opinion should be pretty irrelevant. You certainly look healthy. I just prefer a very trim and toned look.

    I wouldn't lose anymore weight. I would strength train to tighten things up. Skinny and sickly is never a good look. Best of luck to you.

    Weight training will help you achieve a slimmer look without having to lose more weight. Glutes can be grown!

    Instead of the mindset just to be skinny, try adding in weights and shift to being healthy and strong! If you love your curves and boobs then rock it! Weight lifting is awesome because it's more of a transformation and toning than simply weight loss. Regardless, losing weight will cause fat loss is ALL areas... I went from a C to an A cup which was unfortunate but it all depends on what you want and how your body reacts to the changes.
