Body composition is one thing I've really noticed too. When I was 130lbs, I had NO muscle, so I looked soft and squishy. I started working out and lifting and so when I was at 140lbs there was a lot more muscle so I looked better but was staring at that number thinking "140 is too much oh no". That really messed with my…

I'm in! Gained 15lbs last year when I moved in with my boyfriend (he gained a lot more), we're active and love to work out but we also love to eat. On the plus side, good muscle gains :blush: So now it's time to get out of my fat clothes and back into the good stuff. SW: 151 UGW: 135

I don't have a strict plan, some weeks it's 6 or 7 works outs, some weeks 2 or 3, whatever's fun and fits into my schedule. If the weather's great, I'd rather be outside working out than at the gym. :) But Thai boxing 2-3 times a week, the gym once or twice a week, 30-50km bike rides once or twice a week and walks with the…
