I think you look great now. But what's most important is how you think you look as well as feel. Some people me included don't want to get down to a normal BMI as it doesn't look right. If it helps my BMI as of today is 27.5.
I got down as low as 26.0 and Didn't like the way I looked.
My advice is listen to you body. You may want to drop to a normal BMI see if you like it there if not put back on more weight.

Me too...Haven't updated my Avatar. My current avatar is me at 220. Understand...My wife made a comment to me the other day that she doesn't like my bones sticking in to her when I hug her 
. She told me I need to put on some muscle.
Think that's giving me the motivation to head back to the Gym. So far I've been there three times this week lifting weights
If you loose more weight...Tonning up may help as well

You look great. really nice pic. But my honest opinion is you should try to lose a little more only because now is the best opportunity you will ever have in your life to do so and at 2 or 3 years out there is often a little regain and its good to be a little on the low side when you stop your weight loss phase. BMI can be an arbitrary and non-useful thing for some people but for many of us its desirable to get it into the normal range. Only you can decide if you have heavy bone structure or good muscle mass so that you want to stay at a higher bmi. you might want to get your body fat percentage determined by the bod pod or one of those dunk tanks. lots of health clubs and sports places can do it. but again, you look super.
