    Little update: Yes, I think I am happy with how I look :smile: I need to realize that I cannot change my bone structure (someone hand me a saw please! :wink:). I'm maintaining now, though I still haven't found the right amount of calories at the moment. The usual calculators give me about 1600, but that seems to be too low as I've lost another kilo. I'm upping the calories slowly now.

    You look amazing. Also, I would have guessed mid-twenties based on those pics! Wow! It definitely takes time to adjust to having lost a significant amount of weight. When I first got down to my low weight, it took me a very long time to stop seeing fat that wasn't there - like a couple of years, easy. Just shoot for maintenance and keep lifting, you'll adjust and start seeing what's really there after a while. Good job!!

    Btw, with some of the discussions here about women being pear shaped, apples or bananas: what do you think I might be? pearish? Not that it's important, just curious.

    Oh yes, pear for sure, same as me (although I am insanely jealous of your abs :wink:). Fat goes to our thighs first and leaves there last. It's the sad truth but everyone has one body are where the fat comes off last. Bellies are easy, though. You look healthy and amazing! You worked hard! Own and enjoy your victories <3

    I wasn't expecting to see what looks like a hot 20 year old when I clicked on those pictures.

    You have a stunning figure. Really. I would be jealous but I'm too busy admiring you! I don't see the problem with your legs and think they are curvy in all the right places.
