When do you stop?

Others started telling me to stop when I hit around 180. I'm 5'6" and was shooting for the middle of normal BMI.  Unless it's your Dr., their perception of you is probably skewed.  I went down to the "normal" zone and then decided to hang out between the middle of "normal" BMI 21-22 but not go over 145 pounds.  My bod seems to like a BMI of 23 which is fine, just a little to the right still in the normal zone. I stopped by checking my BMR and adjusting calories up accordingly.  Now that they're used to me at this weight I don't get those comments anymore.

How tall are you?  

I plan to keep going until I reach my goal.  I see no reason to stop before that unless I'm actually unhealthy.  

And I don't trust people who have known me since I was SMO to tell me if I'm done losing weight - they're biased.  

My understanding is that many people have a 20 lb "bounce back" around year 3, so I'm planning to go 20 lbs under what I want to eventually end up at....

I'm 5'7.  Normal BMI is 159.  That is true that some of these people are probably biased because they aren't used to seeing me not so fat, and some of them are overweight themselves.  Thanks!

Thank you everyone.  I would like to lose to 160 or 159 (which is normal BMI).  I guess I just needed a little affirmation that I'm not being unreasonable.  I'm a little scared of maintenance, so I would like to keep losing!

My goal was to push to stop things when I got to a normal BMI.  Fortunately, my body agreed and it slowed down on its own as I got there.  I think I looked a little gaunt at first, but I regained a little from my lowest and got some shape back in my cheeks as my body settled into itself.

Keep going... I am meaty at that weight, and 6'2''. You probably carry it beautifully and all, but best to take it off now while it is peeling off easily!
