    I have been following this post and this my first post..

    I think I need to ask you, what is your expectation and the end goal? You need a starting point and end point (of course the journey can change how you get there along the way)..

    JoRocka is right. Start lifting now. Get your diet right and you will start noticing gains really soon (within weeks)...

    I was a newbie lifter and I started seeing gains right away..

    SQUAT! SQUAT! SQUAT! As long as you are lifting for the areas you desire you will keep your curves and they will be super nice. I dont have the pleasure of being as tall as you but I am on the thicker side of the spectrum and currently working on losing 15-20 lbs. I know you are already down to the weight you want to be but as long as you DONT SKIP LEG DAY. Your body will be banging. When you naturally have curves I think its a lot easier to get them nice and tight without losing them. As long as you dont forget about leg day ( I personally incorporate legs as much as possible) you will be fine. Also protein! make sureyou are getting all the protein you need so that you can gain that muscle

    Just food for thought. If you lift heavy to develop your musculature, I'm not so sure you can then stop lifting heavy and maintain those muscles with body weight exercises. I'm pretty sure you have to level out by continuing to lift heavy, just with little or no progression. Otherwise you'll lose your booty.

    Squats are amazing for a rounded and curvy butt! As long as you don't undereat you shouldn't lose them lifting...you'll only make them firmer.

    you'll start to feel better within the first month- like things are working- and you'll start to notice a change in the first few months- will probably take 5-8 for other people to notice.

    ok I will definitely keep that in mind. My legs are the ones that lack the most form and have the most fat so i do hope youre right. It seems impossible to tighten these things up.

    ooooh noooo! thats not good news:(:(:(. I really want to lift my own body weight for the long run ....not dumbbells. So basically I need to choose one or the other:(?

    Well my expectation is to see little by little change. Trust me...I get excited and motivated off a little crease so Im quite alright with slow progress just as long as theres progress. My end goal is just to be more lifted, rounded and firm, and have defined muscles (majorly in my stomach shoulders and thighs.
    How specific am I being?...Im learning now that though my goals are broad I must be more meticulous (or at least at first) about how Im getting there. (i.e the God forsaken calorie and macro count...uuughhh. such bondage!). I do know I want my waist down to a 23 and my body fat at most a 19%. These are the physical aims. I dont want to jiggle...well a little jiggles not awful *wink* but you know what I mean. And ultimately...look good in and out of my clothes so Im not hiding or tucking away areas of my body lol...or using artificial supports to keep everything in place and smooth. lol. shoo. Though I will admit I no longer wear girdles...I only wear biker tights now.

    Glutes have 2 different sets of muscle fibers. One that benefits from heavy weight and low reps and the other fast twitch muscle that build from lighter explosive plyo type
