I think you look great! To giver perspective, I'm 6" and weigh about 200. People are surprised when I tell them I want to lose weight because us taller chicks carry the weight differently than petite chicks.

I think you look just right in the picture. I will say that your avatar, the facing forward picture, makes you look A LOT skinnier than the picture that you attached. I remember you saying that people had made comments like that before and I could understand it from looking at the avatar photo. But you look amazing and you have worked hard for it. I would agree w/ the others who say they are just used to seeing you bigger and it's hard for them to adjust now. Don't change a thing, girl...you look great and your weight is perfect!!!

you look fine, I agree with girlinwaterglobe, changing your lines will make you appear healthier. This could be make-over maddness time!!!! Sounds like a blast to me.

You look healthy. I think people have just forgotten what healthy looks like...

You look healthy and happy to me. I'd be very happy to look like you.

Agreed, gatorgirl6! I think people in Western societies are so used to seeing overweight and obese people they've forgotten what a healthy weight looks like!

My usual reaction to that whole "you've lost too much weight!" thing is to assume the person speaking is jealous and doesn't want you to look hotter than them. Or if they're not in a position to be "jealous", then they just don't want you to change because you occupy a certain position in their mind and they don't want to adjust the way they see you.
