Great response, and such an interesting story. Thanks so much for sharing.

I take a series of photos every week and compare them to my starting point and a previous week or 2.

The supposed "ideal" waist to hip ratio is 0.7, and that's exactly where yours is. So take your curviness as a compliment. :-)

Thanks for your kind words, everyone. I actually HATE the term "skinny fat", as I think it is used to make women who are not overweight feel bad about themselves.
