The way I see it, your reticulocyte count isn't the most important direct measure of how you are doing but it's one of the keys to identifying the causes of your other chronically low counts. You might live perfectly well with counts hovering near the low end of the normal range, but if they dropped any more I'd be worried that the appropriate treatment couldn't be determined without a specific diagnosis. In the same way, losing 10 pounds isn't a critical problem by itself but it's a clue, and I'd really want to know what these clues mean!
