  • Thanks everyone. It is true I was blessed with a larger bottom than top. I have grown to accept my shape, and value the strength I have in my lower half. I did aerobics and weight lifting in high school, so it's not size I'm specifically aiming for. It's more the composition of fat vs muscle. I lift 3x a week and do some…
  • Fair enough. My thighs are currently 26". Which is up 1" from a year ago when I weighed 149. So I believe it's in the realm of possibility, but yeah probably too arbitrary. A better approach might be fat % if I had any faith in the measuring tools available...
  • A couple recommendations I have - that I have noticed a change with are: 1) Try changing your protein powder. Maybe a zero carb one. I prefer Isopure because it tastes decent, and the sweetener agrees with me. 2) Don't eat back your exercise calories. Either set your goal to your BMR, or your ideal weight x10 (1400) and…
  • Drip coffee with a spoonful of raw sugar and a blend of 2% milk and Califia Coconut-Almond milk that I heat up first.
  • Chocolate coconut milk with some vanilla protein powder
  • Red wine, or vodka soda with lime. Nothing with fruit juice or syrup. Maybe run & diet coke with lime. Good luck! If you're anything like me, I eat more when I drink. My advise, eat before you go out, at least a snack, and drink a glass of water after every alcohol drink.

  • @1234crazycat - It sounds like you're off to a great start. As far as ideal weight...that has been a tough goal for me, because I carry my weight a lot differently than others (so I'm told). So, with that, I suppose my advice and a bit of encouragement is to be yourself, realize your goals are for you, and don't compare…

  • I am 5'4" and currently weigh 150-ish (haven't weighed myself in a while). My first goal is to get to 130, then re-evaluate. Super aggressively I would like to see 120, but not sure if that's possible without being completely miserable. I haven't weighed 120 since I was 20. Is it realistic to have a goal of "I want to…
