    Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. I'm 5'5" and I have been doing a combination of running, elliptical, biking, and some weights. I am going to work on incorporating some more weight training - if you guys have any videos or circuits you like please feel free to share, I'm new to this.

    I'm going to suggest you enjoy where you're at. You have what looks like a six pack there, everything looks firm, and you have a great body shape. All this talk about firming and losing inches/weight, etc. is from people looking at Hollywood/fitness model types and making comparisons. And there is nothing wrong with super fit bodies, but your HEAD is still thinking you're a size 20. What happens if you get two sizes smaller, and think you're a size 18? Set yourself up for some happiness baby girl, and learn how to smile when you look in the mirror because you like what you see. Once you can do that, and you get a more realistic idea of how fabulous you look, then figure out the question you asked us.

    You look absolutely incredible!

    I agree with looking more into weight training now. New Rules of Lifting for Women is a great place to start xx

    You you look strong, soft, sexy, and curvy! I think you're perfect now, but if you want to go further look into some weight training. It'll change your body some more, but the best part about it is the confidence you get just from knowing you can do it.

    I would base it off body fat. Do you want to look ripped or just a bit smaller. You look great and I think you could stop now if you wanted, but it's all about where you want to end up. Maybe shoot for something small like a 1% loss in body fat and see what that looks like.
