I am the exact same way! I have always held most of my weight in my lower body, and I am still not pleased with the way my thighs look even after losing weight over the course of the spring and summer.

As said above, some people are not big into the idea of the hormones that many cows, for example, are made to take in order to amp up their milk's nutritional value, etc. Also, there is evidence to indicate that while some dairy is good for us (the calcium), because we are evolutionarily not made to eat/drink it in large…

I have been a vegetarian (well, technically pescetarian) for a little over 4 years now and started just like you are now. I was curious because I had heard that cutting back on red meat intake was healthier in general, and I realized I wasn't really eating that much meat except for chicken. So, in October or November of…
