The 'too skinny' feedback is other people recalibrating to a body they have known for years at a different size - it does not mean anything medically. Going from XL to M is a concrete marker. When the goal shifts to maintenance, the focus naturally moves to what the body can do rather than what it weighs, which is a healthier frame for the long term. Clothes shopping post-loss is one of the better NSVs because it is tactile in a way the scale number never quite is.
