Take up walking and do some light muscle building for the upper body to maintain your muscle and keep your metabolism higher.



this is great, but I’m marbled like a ribeye.

Because of this you might not even see the number on the scale go up, but you will definitely see visible physical differences

Exactly this. If someone is seeing her pants size go up but her weight is the same, it’s time to increase physical activity because more of that weight is fat weight instead of muscle weight.

My feet got wider overnight and the fat goes into lower belly now.

lol lady. I weigh around this a little less, lift weights,
Work out most days, and wear a small -
4/6, 27 in designer jeans. I am a 34 ddd. I’m 44 and I look great in a bikini. So, obese, no. Doesn’t work that way.


No 44 year old look great in a bikini. I’m 48 and I spare humanity by wearing a one piece. I’m 5’4”, muscular and 118lb. It’s the old skin that does it, not the size or fat or even cellulite some women have (yes, even thin Princess Diana had cellulite).


Sorry, nope. I have a long torso and I’m toned and my skin looks good. I get comments on it all the time. Sorry yours does not. I’m not usually a jerk but you’re being one so enjoy the rewards.

I gained hip dips and bigger boobs with weight gain, something I did not have at a higher weight younger. Slowly losing and got rid of the hip dips thankfully, but it took semaglutide to do this after a couple years of struggling without.

Hip dips? I have not heard anyone actually complain about this in the real world.

I am sure people must complain about it, it makes dresses and skirts way harder to shop for in terms of body shape. I am short with a butt and cannot do anything A line, so hip dips ruled out most dresses.

I don’t understand posts like this. If you are as good looking as you claim, that would speak for itself in the world.

OP - It’s not going to get in any easier. Use that as your motivation to make changes now so that you don’t need as many bigger changes later for the same result.

I was you 3 years ago, top of “normal” bmi, but noticing changes to my body shape. I made some minor changes and dropped 10 pounds. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep it up and gained it back plus more. Now I’m 3 years older and it’s much harder to drop the weight.

I’m still confused. If you have a big butt and A lines were not a problem before, why are they a problem now? You should have gotten a dress that fits the widest part and then an A line dress glows out. Google tells me that a dip means you are narrower, but for an A line which flows why would it matter?
