Home from the USA :-(
I get this a lot from people who knew me when I was fat.
But I have met A LOT of new people over the last year, some of whom I have become really good friends with, and NONE of them have ever said "Kelly I think you need to put some weight on".
It is just about people's perceptions. Your body will tell you when you have lost enough weight.
Having said that, I do think it is hard when you get to your target weight to stop seeing yourself as being on a diet, and the temptation is to continue.
As long as you have a realistic view of yourself, try not to worry. I have a very close friend who I trust with my life, and I said to her that I wanted her to be brutally honest if things did start going too far, and she has promised she will.
I lost 9lb over christmas which was FAR too much for me (illness related) and even I could see that it was a step too far. Every rib was so pronounced I looked ill, and I made a conscious effort when I was better to get back to 9stone 3/4/5is which is my stable place and I had no problem doing that, my body likes being that weight, I have been for there for 8 months now.
One of my friends actually said to me the other day "you are too thin, look at your hands!". Funnily enough, I don't judge how thin I am by my hands. I just thought that was weird.
Good luck.
