Stay at whatever weight you're comfortable with...that's your "get real weight". I was this height in high school, but 110 lbs--too skinny. When I got out of college I was 123. I never had a weight problem until after I had my adorable children. lol After I had my youngest, 5 years ago, I got down to 131 and felt really good there. Due to stress, I actually got down to 126 for a short time. I didn't feel so good there. I don't know if I was too thin, or just not taking care of myself under a lot of stress. I do feel really good now, but I do feel like I should lose a little more. Remember, it's not a competition. Body frames are all different and we all carry weight differently.
My husband thinks it may take longer for me to get to 131, since it's harder to lose weight as we get close to our goal weight. I'll try to hit 131 by July 29. After that, I'm going to work on body fat percentage. I'll get that measured once a month, and see where that takes my weight. I'll still obviously eat the way I am now, plus a couple hundred calores, but I'll also lift weights a few times a week. And, definitely, if my size 8's get snug, I'm going on the rapid start plan for a week or two! Keep me accountable! : )

Your right, I will just stay right here, I am comfortable right where I am, my get real weight. And I've recieved enough compliments, so I must be ok. I got called the "THIN ONE" at work! lol Then one day my aunt seen me coming out of the van, and she said I looked like a skinny toothpick!! haha, that one made me laugh!
You only have 6 lbs to go! I think you will do it by July 29, you have over a month to lose it and at the rate your going, you'll do it, I know you will.
I rode my bike to work and back tonight, so that's part of my exercise. kinda scary riding at night! lol
I'm feeling a bit hungry right now, so I think I'll have a slice of toast. Too early to go to bed, and I don't want to hear my stomach growling! lol
Have a goodnight
Loosey
