I don't think there is a single 'correct' answer to this question. There are
multiple ways of achieving this. Which one you choose is as much personal
preference as anything else. For example:

Using 'exit repeat':
repeat
set dialog_reply to display dialog "Enter a number"
set dialog_text to text returned of dialog_reply
if dialog_text = "1" then
exit repeat
end if
end repeat


Using 'repeat until':
set gotAnswer to false
repeat until gotAnswer is true
set dialog_reply to display dialog "Enter a number"
set dialog_text to text returned of dialog_reply
if dialog_text = "1" then
set gotAnswer to true
end if
end repeat


Plus I'm sure there are others I can't think of off-hand.
