Transitioning to maintenance (5'5" female from 182 lbs to 134 lbs currently).
As the title says, I am 5'5" female and have lost 48 lbs so far and currently weigh 134 lbs. I am getting close to where I think I would like to maintain (somewhere between 120 and 130 lbs?).
How did you choose when you wanted to stop losing weight? Initially I wanted to get to 145. Then 135. Now I am 134 lbs and still want to lose weight. I feel okay (not great) with my weight currently, but I get anxiety thinking about stopping my weight loss and maintaining. Part of me feels like I will never be happy with my weight loss and I will continue wanting to lose. Obviously I am not at the lower end of BMI at this point (lowest healthy is around 110 lbs). Should I keep letting myself lose weight until either I feel good about my body or until I hit the lowest healthy weight for my height? Should I stop losing weight soon?
I have received a lot of comments from people I know (family/friends/coworkers) that I have lost too much weight or that I need to eat more. Am I just letting their thoughts bother me too much, or is wanting to keep losing weight actually unhealthy?
I am 3.5 months postpartum and have lost this weight in that timeframe. I try and work out 5-6 days a week. I do not count calories but am very conscious about what I eat. Over the past 10 weeks I have averaged losing 1.5 lbs/week.
