Sheila!!! Girl!!! You look so gorgeous!!! Congratulations on reaching goal. Just so well done! Your discipline, commitment and and resolve have paid off in spades!
I have been mulling over the same question about how low should I go, and how low is too low to look my best. I really appreciate reading the advice you've received here.
Cerealkiller Kat really laid it out so plainly and so well! It makes total sense to me that, as she explained:
A) since none of us here doesn't know how to gain weight if we find we have become too thin (what a concept!), and
B) since there will almost certainly be a slight degree of bounce back apart from the statistically very likely potential for some regain in years 2-3, and
C) since we are still in the golden window of when weight loss is easiest, that continuing on in order to give ourselves a bit of a cushion makes sense.
I'm going to do that too. If I find my face in particular develops a Cruella deVille haggardness (a risk especially at my age), I will stop losing and try to add a small amount back.
But aside from all that, well deserved congratulations are due to you for all of your devotion, hard work and perseverance! It has paid off beautifully, and you look absolutely fantastic!
Thanks Cara! We are in this together, my friend!

Thanks!
Funny how a simple dress can look good when you don't have too many extra pounds on you!
