I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight. In fact, I'm less than ten pounds away (right now the goal is set in MFP @ 108).

I'm struggling to take the last few pounds off, but I now that I need to be patient as I get closer and closer to my ideal body size.

I'm considering changing my weightloss goal to be based on a body fat percentage as opposed to a number on a scale, only I'm not sure how to judge what's realistic for myself. Currently (at just over 5ft tall), I'm at 113lbs and 25% body fat (too much!). I don't want to be skinny fat!

I might not have much more "weight to lose" as my family/friends tell me, but my body DEFINITELY has room to change! Any guidance/advice/tip on going forward and choosing a new goal? :happy:

    I would say focus for a couple weeks on lowering your body fat % but maintaining your weight. See how you feel about your body once it is more toned and work from there.

    It sounds to me like you need to start toning your body. I have herd that once you get down or close to you goal weight you should start toning your body with weight training and or other exercises to tone your body. I herd yoga and other exercise like this can also tone your body. Good luck
