Has anyone had people telling them not to lose any more weight? I don't mind being told that if I'm getting way too skinny.. But I'm not even at suggested goal weight yet much less anything on a chart. I'm 5'4 and 155 pounds. It normally wouldn't bother me, but it seems like my whole family is saying that criticising what I eat. I don't mind concern, but this just seems a little overboard.

I certainly don't think you're the minority! That's the thing about it, you set your goal to whatever YOU want it to be. That's the whole jist of this thread, people feeling like they have the right to tell us what our weight should be. We know our bodies and we don't need anyone telling us what is healthy. We knew we were unhealthy at an obese weight, we will know when we are healthy at a lower weight, too.
Sorry for the rant, this topic really lights a fire under my ass!

Right on. What you want should be priority. And be happy with accomplishing your goal. You worked hard. I don't have a goal weight...I know that sounds absurd. One big reason is i didn't really know what i should be.... charts vs doctors telling me higher weights than chart. I just wanted to improve my health and back pain, so I just determined to be happy whatever my final weight ends up being. I'm not unhappy with my weight at the moment, but I continue on for health reasons.
