How do you know when you have lost enough weight and it is time to stop?

I am 21 years old and weigh 156lbs. I am 5'5. I had surgery June 4th, 2002, lap RNY, with Dr. Hargroder in Louisianna. I feel great! I have large bones and can now wear a tight 8 or loose 10, I am not built petite so my goal wieight is 150lbs. My question is this...This morning as a walked into work my boss stopped me in the hall and said "I think it is time to stop losing weight you are starting to look too thin" Now, she is a very nice lady, but she has been gaining a few pounds over the past year or so and now I don't know whether she may be saying this b/c she is a little jealous or b/c she is being truthful and really trying to help me out.I had planned to lose another 6 lbs, and see where I was then, possibly having a new goal then of losing another 20lbs. Has anyone ever had this happen to them, where someone says this and you aren't sure if they are saying that b/c they are jealous or b/c they are being genuine? Can someone tell me what a good basis is on when to stop losing? I am still losing a steady 3-5lbs a week. Thanks for your help! I read the question and answers everyday and really do value your opinions.
