Default Stall or Am I at my ideal weight?

Hi there - I'm just looking for some opinions on this.

I weighed 125lbs before I had children (although I always struggled on low calorie diets to maintain it). After I had kids I was 20 lbs overweight, but lost it all after starting my LC plan.

I'm only 5'3", so 125 is a healthy weight, but at the higher end of the acceptable range for my height.

For the last 7 months I have enjoyed being this weight & eating way more than I used to. I do have a tendancy to overeat nuts and meat still and have wondered if I'm in a stall rather than at my ideal weight.

I'm debating whether to clamp down and try to lose an extra 5 lbs, or just keep enjoying things the way they are. I exercise and I'm pretty satisfied with the way I look, but I know (from getting down as low as 119 on low fat diets in the past) that I can look better.

I'm a 35 year old mother, so my priorities should really be my health as oposed to vanity at this point in my life.

I'm just interested in hearing from others - is your goal weight a nice normal body weight for your height (or are you aiming for gorgeous) ? I'm also wondering what people of a similar height to me are aiming for?
