Hi all.

Going to Bora Bora for one week, which is seven weeks away. I want to look my best and feel my most comfortable.

I want to lose some fat/weight, but I'm worried that I will just look lanky and skinny with no definition.

Do you guys think there is some potential muscle definition under my fat? I don't expect much, but I don't want to cut down to nothing either!

Thank you! Pics below

    You are pretty lean already.

    If I were you, I would eat maintenance and lift heavy for the next 7 weeks.

    I agree - you look fine as it is!

    Another vote for the above - you will get a bit more 'definition' by losing weight, but I suspect you'll end up looking 'skinny' for it, rather that people seeing "defined muscle".

    Yup.
    At 19 you will be able to make some good gains in a short time. Hit the weights young man!

    NM- misread the OP. You don't really need to lose fat, but I would def start lifting now if you want to be more toned.

    Yup. What everyone else said. I don't think you really have anything to lose but you could definitely get tighter and look more fit with some heavy weights. Eat maintenance and hit that protein and lift, lift, lift!

    Wasn't expecting so many answers, thank you all so much. Means so much!

    Will follow everyone's advice and do what makes most sense - eat at maintenance and keep lifting heavy/getting my protein in. Hopefully I won't gain any more fat during this process! :)
