My original goal was 135. Then I was sick all last summer and got to 115. I have been steady within 5 pounds since then till now. I am eating well(keeping track on MFP), but I am losing again. Now at 12.5. Should I be concerned or just hold course and see if I level out. M husband says I do not look gaunt yet.

Not sure what your weight is due to a typo. But I would based your goal on how you feel, how you are on your labs, and how you look. How far out are you?

“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack

Sorry about the typo I am currently 112.5. My labs are great lots of energy, and my husband says I still look healthy. I had RNY sept. 2012.

How tall are you? My original goal was 150, then 135, then 125. . . now I weigh 121. I'm 5'1. I've had a few people tell me that I need to stop losing, but they aren't real reliable, just negative people. My feeling is....if you are still at a normal BMI, lose as much as you can, because year three and up is supposed to get really hard to maintain. Being a little under would probably be a benefit.

I tend to agree with you. I fear the bounce back weight that comes a few years out. I am eating and taking care of my self, do I just think my body is not done yet.
