losing too much weight?
I wouldn't actively try to stop losing though. That usually puts bad habits back where you've worked so hard to put good ones. Your body won't let you lose but so much.
Your body will decide when it has had enough losing and I certainly would not advocate trying to influence that with food choices etc - I know a LOT more people who have done this and then had a big regain they've struggled (and some have not won) to keep off!!!

Honestly, the body is really and truly plotting. And eventually it'll get you. Like you said, Kim, those that truly have lost way too much are rare. Most of us find that where the weight was falling off before, we have to beat the scale downward as we get further out.
I never lost too much to begin with (altho my mom might have disagreed) so I can't relate to the feeling but folks, know that the human body really and truly was designed to ADD weight, not take it away. It'll get back to being able to do so in short order (shorter than you think!).

Know your BMI range (google it for more info) and your BMR (google or try this http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm)...
Between both of these, you should be able to keep yourself at a wanted and healthy weight...good luck and be both happy and healthy!
I need help. While I was thrilled at being disciplined and cautious; I now am 29lb under my goal weight. I weighed BW 236 Now 143. While in an acceptable BMI, I look old and gaunt. I am 67 years old, surgery date 02/01/17 and as common with all 'skin sagging'; my face is likewise sagging. I have lost weight but look 87 years old not 67. Any seniors out there or younger gals that have any ideas on what course I should take? My profile pic was taken in May at my goal weight. Not a current picture.
Eventually, if you really want to (or even if you don't) it will be easier to put on a few pounds. We all know how to do that, don't we?!
I just entered maintenance and started around where you are. I have added 100 calories per day, week by week. I'm not maintaining yet, but will be soon I think.
