Hmmmm I'm very confused at the moment. My target was originally 12 stone, which I though nine months ago was an impossible target. When I was 12 stone 7 I thought I was fat. When I was at my heaviest I used to look at my photos then and think I looked ok and wished I was that weight. Now I'm nearly that weight I feel "fat" again. I feel that 12 and a half is still too heavy. The problem is I just don't know what would be "normal" now. I'm sitting writing this wearing a size 14 jeans and a size 12 jumper, which 9 months ago I thought was normal. Now I'm just confused 
I think I've just lost it so quick my head still hasn't caught up with my body. My counsellor feels that I would still be ok to lose another couple of stone at least and according to the Cambridge charts 10 stone is at the high end of normal for my height and 8 stone is at the low end (I don't want to go that low).
The trouble is I have people telling me to stop now and people telling me I should carry on a bit further. My Aunty looked at me on Tuesday and said in disgust "I can see you've lost more weight. You don't need to lose any more now!!" and also my sister is moaning that I'm going too far.
I don't by any means think I'm going too far and if you look at any chart 12 stone 12 is still obese for my height. Everyone keeps saying I will know when I'm at a weight I'm happy with, but I just don't have that confidence in myself.
ah well we'll see.

i'm sure you've been told this enough already but judging from your pics, you look fantastic as it is with no need for further loss

U know Sarah... just follow what u think is right. Its your body! And u have to be comfortable and happy with it. If I were you, I'd still continue. Now that you've been so used to this diet, you should continue till you believe you are slim and sexy.
All the best.
P.s: But dont overdo it!-

Go lower. You obviously want to. Why be average when you could be slim? It's not as if you are middle aged and in danger of revealing too many facial wrinkles! Look honestly at your bones. Are your hip bones protruding? Do your wrist bones stick out? Are your elbows and knees knobbly? If not, you are not too thin for your frame. If in serious doubt, go and see your GP. Don't listen to people like your sister, for goodness sake - you know she's just jealous.

if you'd feel happier losing a little more weight then go for it but try to realise it when you've found your ideal size.
you may be hooked on the thrill of losing weight so don't go wasting completely away on us!
