This has been a weird week. Everyone keeps freaking out that I am still trying to lose weight and I must say I am starting to doubt myself. My friends and family keep telling me that I should not lose anymore weight. Has anyone else had this experience? It is kind of a downer to my spirit. My mom and husband are both worried that I am going to become a bean-pole and lose my curves. I still would like to lose 10-20 more pounds but I am not getting support from those dear to me. I don't know if I should continue this journey or just be happy where I am flucuating between 162-167 lbs.

Well if you are worried that they may be right perhaps you should take Karilynn's new approach. get your body fat percentage tested and work on it as your goal. this means you can still lose fat even if you concentrate on putting muscle on. this way you will keep your curves but lean out and be healthier and stronger. Just a suggestion. No matter what you decide good luck. if where you are makes you happy than that should be good enough. maybe your focus could be on maintaining your current weight. staying where you want to be is just as important as losing to get there.
It all depends on how tall you are and how comfortable you are. If you are 6 feet tall that may be too skinny, if you are 5 feet tall definately keep working on the weight loss. Keep going if you want too, as long as it isn't dangerous, there really is no problem.
Robyn... I was worried about becoming obsessed and going overboard. When I started training with Lisa I asked her what would be a healthy weight for me... here is what she had to say. Give yourself 100 lbs for the first 5 feet and 5 lbs for each additional inch. Then give yourself + or - 10%.
The other thing she said is that you cannot be TOO small if you are eating healthy and exercising.
In other words. If you are giving your body EVERYTHING it needs and the weight is still coming off, let it. If you are becoming unhealthy, not eating enough, or dieting obsessively, then it could be unhealthy.
What weight were you when you were on the bus ad?? I think you looked fantastic in that picture. I also think you are looking fantastic now.. and honestly, you can always buy new curves! ;o)
wow, all I can say is I wish I had your problem! LOL good luck with your decision - maybe check in with your dr or something. Its good to see your success. :)
