People Telling you to Stop Losing Already

Brutal honesty? I'd say keep losing. Or stay as you are if you're happy with how you look, it's totally up to you, not your sister!

I am usually the last one on here to say "keep losing", because i see so many women trying to get down to or are at a really low weight for their height, and I more often than not say "STOP".

For reference, I'm 5"8 and weigh around 147. I'm in maintenance now (most of the time).

Your sister is probably misinformed, and obviously believes some myth about how a body reaches a certain weight then reaches its "set point" beyond which you cannot lose any more. Maybe she read that in Glamour magazine or something and takes it as gospel. She is simply wrong. The pictures you posted show fabulous progress! If your sister keeps insisting that she's right about this, just tell her that you two must agree to disagree and you're done talking about it.

Jealous, insecure,.. you are doing great! You can definitely drop to 125.

I'd sit down and talk to her that you are just trying to get to a healthy weight and BMI even go to a doctor and ask their opinion, if your doctor agrees you should lose weight there's not alot she can do if you've been given medical instruction to lose weight and if she tries to argue that she knows better than a doctor tell her you don't think she's advising you for your best interests and all you want to do is be healthy. x

You've made amazing progress! You should be very proud. The reality is that there are other people, family or otherwise, who have benefited in some way socially from being thinner than you over time. It's very possible that there is jealousy in the mix here. "As thin as your body will let you get" isn't really a thing- if you eat in a calorie deficit, your body will burn fat. You just keep hustling toward meeting your own goals and let her know you're happy to support her in setting an pursuing goals of her own.

You should be proud of your accomplishment so far. You are right to aim for BMI in the healthy range. That is an important goal.

I agree with the other posters. You keep doing what you're doing because you're looking great! My husband says his older sister is too skinny and he's worried for her health but in reality she looks really healthy and strong. My grandparents told my brother to tell me to stop losing weight because I was "falling off" the last time I was home. Family views are not necessarily based in reality but are instead based on love and concern.

I had similar issues with my younger sister. I was always very chunky and she is petite. In fact, she has hyper thyrodisim and most of her like was 5ft and 100lbs. After her second child she gained some weight, but still she was between 120lbs and 130lbs. A few years ago (pre pregnancy weight gain), i went down from 215lbs to 135lbs and I am 5ft 4. Well before I hit the 130's she kept saying I was losing to much weight, but it was the healthiest I have ever been. I ate clean and ran 5k's at least 3 times a week to burn the fat. I am not sure if it was jealousy but I think it was hard in her mind not to see my overweight, as I have ALWAYS been overweight since childhood. It was the first time in our lives that I could actually fit her clothing... So it may just take your sister time to get used to it. It might just be shock ! Keep up the great work, and just do what makes you feel good!!!
