Mostly it's being able to fit into my clothes. Going up a size would mean having to buy a lot of new clothing, and while I like shopping, not being able to fit into my favorite dress would be a big drag.
I go by clothing fit. If I step on the scale and find that I've gained 5 pounds that month, but find that I'm filling out my clothes better, I'm fine with that. If things start to get tight, I'm not down with that; it's more time on the recumbent bike and stair master.
