What a great sentiment!

You have already lost a ton of weight already, which is a big success, but you aren't happy yet. I think you should keep going until you are happy with your body. Even though you should be now, all of us can tell you to just stop, you've done so much already, but that's not going to help the way you feel about yourself. If you feel like you can get to a size 8 go for it! It's not like you are damaging your body by getting thinner. You aren't becoming underweight or anything, so I say get to a size 8 then go get a pair of those capris in 2 size smaller ;D

Lori, girl...let me just say one thing. WOW! If you can go this far and not feel that it was as difficult as you thought, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND that you can do this!!!

I am re-losing 10 lbs, but that was due to a medical condition. Not will-power which you do not seem to have a lack of either. You have all the will-power in the world to have come this far!

Let's say you do go down to 148, and you find it harder to maintain it. After coming this far, would you REALLY let yourself gain to the point that you have many, many lbs to re-lose? You have to make it up in your mind now that you will not let that happen. That you will commit to your health and not let that happen. With your height, I don't think those 10 lbs will make as much difference as say 158 and 168; lots of difference when your BMI starts veering toward unhealthy again. Like me, I have set my goal at 128 for now. I could technically go down to 118 and still be in a healthy weight range, and I may change it when I get to my original goal (I am only 5'5"). I never noticed too much difference when I have weighed both of those amounts, but there would be a bigger difference at 138.

It is totally up to you. Either weight sounds good for your stature. But I think you can TOTALLY do it. :)

I think that only you personally can decide what is the most appropriate weight that you can live with every day and remain content with.

A nice healthy weight is enough, I think :D It's up to you, when you're happy with yourself, but don't get carried away!
