    I'm at 121 lbs but my body fat has dropped by another percent bringing me to 13.5%.

    13.5% is very low body fat for a woman! :#

    Right now I feel healthy and energetic. It's a good place for me. My weight goes between 121 and 124, depending on the week or the workout. 13.5% isn't a dangerous place; I still have all my stuff happening normally. Not looking to go any lower though.

    You're smart to ask for a summary. I'll never get back the last 30 minutes of my life.

    Essentially, OP plateaued and asked for help. She got a bunch of random opinions, some of which were sensible. The sensible ones were basically: you seem to be doing fine, just keep at it.

    Apparently, 'keeping at it' worked.

    Good for her. I wish people wouldn't try to make some great mystery out of something that is really rather simple.

    I'm glad I read this before reading the thread...cool

    What? That's around essential fat for a woman (10-13%) how are you measuring it? And are you going to put weight on now? [/quote]

    I had the hydrostatic body fat thing done.

    Reverse diet until you get up to your maintenance level stay there for a month then take away 500 cal again and you'll start losing weight pretty quickly like you did in the beginning again

    I made goal two weeks ago. I got down to 120. It's been an amazing ride; lots of ups and downs but totally worth it.
