I understand the concern

Thank you for the concern, but my doctor is ok with m continuing to lose weight and it won't be making me underweight or too skinny. 120 will put my BMI at 22. whichh really is right in the middle, not too high or not too low. I am not as skinny as you all so kindly make me sound. haha Heres a pick of me in my bathing suit.

this is at my current weight:

as you can see I am no where near too thin, and will probably benefit from losing 10 more pounds. Thanks for the concern though, I do appreciate people looking out for me :)

I say yeah for you. You have done an amazing job and are now in a healthy zone. The top 1/3 of your healthy BMI zone. Yeah for not 'settling', especially at such a young age. Go for the middle to low end - you deserve it.

I think, however, that liking your body image every step of the way is important to overall mental health. It's easy to focus on the negatives and what we'd still like to improve upon. Maybe focus on the good stuff - and you've got lots of it. What you've accomplished is simply amazing - own it. You really ought to look at that picture and say, "Wow, I'm in a cute bathing suite - on the beach - and letting someone take my picture. And I look GOOD."

I am glad your doctor is on board with you losing more. That makes me feel better. :)

You look fabulous in that picture, BTW. :)

You will look great either way, if you're more comfortable a little slimmer, go for it. It sounds like you know how to handle it, and you got the doc's advice. :)
Hope you're having a great week at school!

Being happy with yourself is whats most important. :)
