I remember when family and friends told me to quit losing - I was still in the overweight BMI category.  And yes, it's because they're not used to seeing you like this.  But when you do lose some more they'll still think you look great.  And if you do start looking gaunt, etc - don't worry about it - your fat still on your body will continue to redistribute for quite a long time.  It will settle into the places you need it to!

I also second Roz' advice - keep losing as long as you can - your body will know when to stop.
