Stop Losing Weight?

This morning another of the older ladies at my local gym asked me what size pants I wear "an 8," I replied and then she told me that is a good size and to stop losing weight. Awe, thanks! I told her that I'm still working to tone my abs and arms and that I'm fighting against my hypothyroidism and metabolism.

I think it's both cute and interesting that the older women keep telling me to stop losing weight. According the standard BMI scale I'm still at the high end of the healthy range for my height. Which is far from where I was last year in the obese range for my height:




I'm very happy with all that I have accomplished this past year. And I've gained more patience, confidence, and understanding in my pursuit of healthiness. I'm always going to be fighting with my metabolism but I've been building the tools within myself to keep on track.

Now if I could just stop craving chocolate... LOL

I think that people like to jinx you when you are trying to lose weight. I've had a few comments when I was losing my baby weight. I just ignored it. I know my goal weight, and it's none of their business! How is it that you are size 8, and I'm size 10 (5'6", 140lbs)?? I'm trying to lose 5lbs, just to get rid of the ring of fat around my waist so that I can fit into all the nice jeans I bought between kids... and haven't fit into for over 4.5 years now... (my youngest is 4!)

You're beautiful and you've accomplished so much. I am glad that you are happy with your weight... and your progress. You deserve to celebrate. Go out there and date the world! It's your oyster...

I love US sizes!! I am technically a 10 going by the sizes on your side of the pond - and yet on this side I am a lard ass!

An 8?!? Shiit girl, I think I went from Large in girls to like a 12 in women's. No joke.

How tall are you?
I got told the same thing way back when, and once I gained weight back people left and right were telling me I looked so much better at present because I was skeletal - sooooo that said BE CAREFUL because we are our own worst critics. If those around you think you shouldn't lose any more weight, I would take heed...
It's hard though. I thought it was anyways. I couldn't find a balance! It was all or nothing!
