Does your body know when to stop?

I am curious to know if I have lost 95 pounds and have stopped losing for several months now, is this my body telling me to stop?  I am 5'7 and weigh 132. 

Its not telling you to stop, but it is harder to lose because your body needs far less calories than it did when you were 95 pounds heavier. Congrats by the way!! Is 132 your goal weight?

No, 150 was! Maybe you know this next question too! If I work out 5-6 days a week burning at least 600 calories per session, is eating 1600 calories too much?

Nope, but you may be undereating.  I consume at least 1600, more like 1800 calories and I'm a few pounds heavier than you.  Don't be afraid to eat and fuel your workouts.

Personally, I DO believe that our body sort of have set weights that it is comfortable being, and it is hard to shift them from those amounts. When I started, I was 5'2 and 150 pounds. My body liked being 150 pounds. Freshman year of college, I didn't drink very often but I ate pretty poorly and never exercised, and yet I probably only went up to 154 or 155 by the end of the year, and those pounds immediately fell off with no extra work once I came home for the summer and I was back at 150.

When I started exercising, it was hard to get my body going. Once it got past about 145, it fell pretty quickly to 135, which seems to be its second 'happy place' to be, since I've been sitting there since Christmas despite the fact that I've still been working hard.

132 at 5'7 is a very healthy weight. You probably don't have to actively try to lose more weight, and I agree that you may not be eating ENOUGH. I try and eat between 1600-1800 a day, burning 400 at the gym 5-6 times a week. So 1600 is definitely not too much and may not be enough.

Congrats on your great weight loss! You have a lot to be proud of!

let me just tell you that is AWESOME! that is an amazing accomplishment ( :

that is awesome! you must look AMAZING! :-) you should post pics!

132 seems absolutely perfect for your height!  My goal is 135 at 5'7", maybe 130 if I can make it but I'm not going to push it since I still look and feel great at 135.  i would think you would want to simply maintain at this point as I'm sure you look fantastic!  It makes sense that you have stopped losing as you are probably pretty close to what your body finds to be a healthy weight.

thats an awesome accomplishment! you're about the same weight and height that I am... and im here just to maintain... though, i've been about the same weight/height since high school-- 3 years. I think that if you just keep eating healthy and exercising regularly, your body will maintain what it should maintain.
