NSV's, Progress Pix, and Question

Wow you look great! I love seeing people's progress pictures and am so glad you came out of lurksville to show us!!

As to when to stop losing... I would just say, within reason of course, that it should be YOUR choice! When we lose weight people to tend to see us as "losing too much" (they're used to seeing us heavy). And height is not necessarily an indication; we are all different body types, etc. And depends on how "in shape" we are. You certainly look fantastic... doesn't look like you NEED to lose any more. But if YOU want to lose a few more, go for it. One caution though... you have a beautiful figure! Don't lose so much that you start to lose your "girl shape" LOL

WOOOTTT! You look fabulous! And I agree with Misti: it's your choice and it depends on how comfortable YOU are!

I just found this site and have been reading and came across your post, can you advise how you did it, you look great. I agree stop losing when you feel comfortable and happy with yourself.

Girl! You got it going on! :belly: I agree with the others, you have curves in all the right places. I would say that if you maintained at your current weight you'd be healthy, considering what your starting weight used to be. Great job on the loss and thanks for sharing your pics, they are really inspiring!

p.s. I love the color of your hair!

Wow, you look great. I am 5'7 and weigh 159 right now. My abdomen is not as flat as yours. I am going for 150 and will see then if I need to lose another 5 lbs. The closer I have gotten to 150 the more I think that this may be the right weight for my body type. Congratulations

Wow! You look awesome, congratulations!! Good job!:carrot: :carrot:

You look great!!! Congrats on your terrific loss :) I agree with everyone else... get to wherever you are comfortable, and I'm sure you know to be wary of the "just 5 more pounds" syndrome, so I won't lecture.

And I have yet to meet a weight-loser who hasn't battled the "well-meaning" comments from "concerned" friends and family who fear you will lose too much weight. People who used to be overweight are good at hiding weight, so friends and family can't see the last five, ten or twenty pounds becase we're so good at hiding them :).

Lol, and I remember someone venting about the "you're losing too much" comments in another thread (from memory): "If people are so concerned about me becoming too thin that it's unhealthy, I want to know... where were their 'helpful comments' when I was 50 pounds overweight? Why is it that when I'm finally approaching a healthy weight, people start worrying about my health?"

I think you look great. If you wanted to maintain I think you would be fine, but if you chose to lose more then by all means go for it. I think you look healthy though.

youre such a pretty girl! I'm jealous!

SheilaF328 04-04-2006 11:00 PM

I think you look great. And with all of that working out, you have developed muscle, which makes a big difference too. I'd say 150 would be very appropriate!

Way to go!!

LOL I don't know if that was me but I HAVE said such things often in the past!! When I lost weight before people kept saying that -- and especially, when I lose weight my butt is non-existent and people actually tried to convince me to PAD it! LOL I said then and I say now... I literally work my butt off and you want me to PAD it? Ain't NOTHIN' on THIS body getting padded!!! :o
