Even a month or two ago, I would have stressed over wearing a snug shirt and jeans ("Omg, what if I have muffin top?") etc. I'm still hovering around 140/141 lbs., but I'm very pleased with how I look at this point. :) I may not have lost weight, but I seem to have slimmed down a little, visually speaking.

I think I've come a long way, both in terms of appearance and how I view myself. As little as six months ago, I would have been freaked out at the prospect of remaining at 140-ish, but now it doesn't bother me. I feel good, and I think I look pretty good, too!

Forgive the godawful bra outline, please. I didn't realize this shirt was kind of sheer when I took the photo. Lolfail.

    Looking Good. I thought I needed to drop more weight also, but reevaluated my goal weight and am happy where I am now. Now i just need to add muscle, which may move the numbers on the scale up, but I want healthy not skinny. NICE JOB!!!!

    Thanks. :) For so long, I was obsessed with 135, but I think I'm okay where I am now. If it happens, it happens--if not, hey, dropping 10 lbs. is still pretty good!

    You look fantastic and still manage to have a great looking behind. I come from a family whose genetics forbid losing weight and keeping a butt, so I really envy you that!

    Man, I agonized for YEARS over my shape--all my weight goes straight to my hips and butt. I've learned that it's particularly important to love the things you can't change! :)

    Thanks! I do wonder if it's easier to buy jeans with a smaller/flatter butt, though. It seems like mine always gap at the waist and the backs of the thighs. Sigh.

    Thank you. :) I'm at the point where I'm basically telling the scale to go to hell, since 141 in 2012 looks way different (and better!) than it did in 2010.

    You look great! If I could get my hips/stomach to look like that I'd be okay with it too!

    To be honest, I've been going "Where the hell is my stomach?" lately, because I usually have some sort of food-baby in there (or bloating). I think I caught myself on a "Good stomach day," when it looks flat even though it's really not (at least, compared to some of the ladies on this site!). I usually end up having to hold in the lower-belly chub, but I've been doing that since I was 12 so I have a ton of practice. ;P

    I'm trying to figure out when/how it went away--there's still a little bit there, but it's not really visible with clothes. For now, I'm assuming that once I stopped caring about the muffin top, it just got pissed off and left. Once I know the secret, I'll share it!
