  • Chances are she is...depends on a person's body type. I'm a size 4/6 (us sizes) at 70 kg and 5'6". I'm lean and athletic with small hips. Anything bigger than that and it would fall off my body. Other people at my height and weight would struggle to fit into a 8/10 because their body type is different.

  • You might want to try Loft, too. They're owned by Ann Taylor but slightly more affordable. Never pay full price though unless you LOVE the item and can't live without it. They literally have sales every 2 seconds.

  • I weigh myself every day and often multiple times a day when I'm losing weight. It keeps me honest as others have said, and as long as it's a general downward trend I don't worry about ups and downs. One reason I weigh myself multiple times a day is that I find I'm "lighter" in the evening when I'm about to hit a new low…

  • FWIW, I always find my tum or *insert body part here* always looks HUGE and is super jiggly right before I have a big "woosh" and lose fat in that area. Link if you're interested So if you're doing everything right, but your tum is feeling bigger and jigglier you could have a woosh coming. That being said, not everybody…

  • I'm not a bodypump teacher, nor have I attended a class in a few years now. But I can provide personal experience. Bodypump is really more cardio based. It's endurance and less true weightlifting. I found that body pump helped me feel confident with the movements etc. of real weight lifting, and while it did help build…

  • If you're worried about classes see if you can talk to the instructor before hand. They might be able to ease your anxiety.

  • What Lemmie177 said was my first thought. If OP comes from an Asian background, in Asia there is a lot of push against woman having muscles. Now before anyone yells at me I am currently in my 5th year of living here (4 years in China and now 1 year in a SE asian country). I have watched women here train and seen the…
