I agree. Especially if you are having possible issues with joints, you will be doing her a huge favor by keeping her a little on the thin side than tipping too far the other direction.

Weight - too low? (Pics Added 1st Post)
CoCo, who is 3 years old, was experiencing some stiffness and soreness after some weekend-warrior type activities on our nearby trails. We took her to the vet, who put her on glucosamine supplements and told us to drop her weight.
In December she was around 28kgs (61lbs)... this past Saturday she was down to 24.8kgs (54.5 lbs). The vet wants to see her down another kg, to about 52lbs.
Does that seem low to you guys? I think she looks pretty good now. I'll have to post a pic, but she has definitely slimmed down, narrows at the waist. Anyone here have a healthy lab under 55lbs?
Edit to add pics (measured her, she is about 21.5"):
