Here it is, in case it might inspire someone on their journey.

    Nice work! Can you give some details on your method...diet, exercise, frequency or workouts...go to foods etc. Your midsection and thighs really seem to have responded to some training. Congrats.

    I was just very commited to my 1200 calories / day. In the beggining eating all types of food - as long as not above 1200 - and then reading all packages and being selective so I could eat more without going above 1200. Skyr instead of yoghurt. Protein bread instead of regular bread. More veggies than pasta. More eggs less fruit (sugar).
    Off course some days I went above - social events, lack of time.

    I went to the gym and asked my trainer to put me on a strenght (lifting weights) programme. Which he changes every 6 weeks. I cross train with yoga and some HIT classes. 3-4 times a week. Depends on how much time I have..

    All in all, I was just very stubborn.
    Aiming now to reduce a little bit more fat. Maybe loosing 4kgs more and then maintain.

    I hope this helps :)

    Very nice. I feel better knowing that I have almost exactly the same strategy - only no yoga, yet. Congratulations!

    TYVM it does help. I like the balance of cardio, strength training and smart caloric decisions. Stubbornness does help, dedication some might say. Keep up the good work and good luck.
