Hi guys, looking for young women like myself who perhaps don't have too much weight to lose but want to reach their perfect body (as "perfect" as they can be at least) by next summer.

So at the moment I'd say I'm what they call "skinny fat" (?) but on the bigger side. Haha. As in, with clothes on I look sort of slim-ish with slightly chunkier legs and bigger hips than other girls my height and weight, but underneath it all I have a little bit of tummy, still have small love handles and a wobbly bum and thighs.

Current weight and size is 125 lbs and UK 8 on top half and UK 10 on bottom half.

I am getting happier finally, but not fully satisfied and happy yet. My goal is about 110-115 lbs, or whatever weight it takes to get rid of all the extra flab (goal UK size 6-8 on top and UK 8 on bottom). I would also then like to tone, which might involve putting on a few pounds of muscle weight.

(I think UK sizes are 4 numbers above US, for all the Americans who might not know :) So UK 8 is US 4..?)

This year I looked pretty ok in a bikini… but there was a lot more wobble and bumps than there should have been. I was heavier actually in July/August though at about 130-132 lbs. I'm also 5"3'.

Anyway yeah was wondering if there's any girls similar out there?

    Ha.. yes.. but only because I have NEVER worn one. I am hoping to have reached all my body goals, had my skin tight up as much as it is going to by then.. and perhaps for summer 2015... BIKINI!

    That has been a life long dream... Right now if I stand up straight it looks ok.. but any bending and my stomach looks gross..

    I'm also trying to lose fat/gain muscle. I'm 159lbs and 5'10" so I'm happy enough with the number but want to change the body shape/composition. You can add me if you want.

    I did thanks :)

    I'm almost happy with the number, but my body fat % must be sooo high. I'm unhappy with the composition too, want to get a little toned and leaner…problem is I don't really know how to. I've started by doing lots of exercises on the mat at the gym, and try and incorporate free weights. I use some machines on my legs and arms but people say don't rely on them too much or use them a lot… not sure if that's aimed more at guys who are trying to get bulky.

    I just can't get rid of my mum tum. I have had two c sections. My body is looking ok every where else and responding to diet and exercise. I want to be 126lb, currently 131lb. I am good at the exercise part which is 30% but rubbish at the 70% diet part. I just come back from holiday and although I looked ok, I felt awful round the pool, It inspires me to get my figure back. I had my baby six months ago so maybe I need to be kinder to myself. There were sum mums who looked amazing for just having babies.

    Keep focused, a healthy and gorgeous body is a life long goal.

    I like that thinking :) I don't have that much weight to go… it's just more about getting leaner and getting rid of the extra wobbles which is going to take more months than I think it is, I think!

    Oh yeah, definitely! I weigh 133 lbs now at 5'4''. I don't mind the number that much but the fact that very little of that is muscle makes me look...not so good. I was planning to start weight training in a month or two. Add me guys! :D

    To quote from Lea's page:

    summer bodies are made in winter

    Of course you think about next years body now. Gaining and then losing again takes time :D

    This.

    So yeah, that's why I'm back on MFP, getting myself sorted and ready for next summer :)

    Also in the UK. 5' 7" and currently 169lbs, so I have more to lose than you. I might not reach my idea of 'bikini perfect', but any improvement will still be an improvement! :)

    Next year? There's lingerie to be worn in the winter, no?

    But, seriously, I got out of that vicious cycle by finding a workout routine I love and do year round so that I stay in shape year round. For those who are aspiring to wear a bikini, start lifting heavy!

    Hopefully by summer next year, I'll be well into maintenance. I applaud your motivation and goal! Though, I never understand people that get "fluffy" (not saying you did OP) over the winter and then spend all summer losing it just to head back to winter. Butttttt - to each their own, as long as everyone is getting healthy!

    Cheers to an active Fall/Winter until Summerrrrrrr
