You have a valid point. I've to thought about this. Though I still have at least 25lbs to go before I hit goal. But It has crossed my mine that I didn't want get Below a certain amount like near 140 lbs?

Congrats on taking care of business !

I dont know how tall you are so I cant say whether theres any wiggle room in your goal weight. I agree the body is going to settle where it wants, so just make sure you are eating heathfully, and exercising, and getting your Vitamins, and you should end up at a weight that is right and does NOT make you look sickly.

I also want to say that I am 92 lbs down and 7 months out (as of today!), and sure as s**t , like clockwork the weightloss is slowing down. So dont expect to keep losing rapidly forever. Try to concentrate on living healthy and the number on the scale will end up exactly where it is supposed to be
