Weight loss headache?

The after pic is a fancy Christmas party and even though I wish I had sucked it in, I'm thrilled at how my face arms look. I gained a little back for Christmas…

How to choose your goal weight Link
I struggle with this, I've been happy with how my clothing fits at 143 lbs but that was skinny fat and I'd like to be more tone and muscle this time around so if that means I look better at 150 so be it.
