When I was 120, I was a “kid” and super skinny. No muscles and I walked for exercise. Even then, though, I always thought I was fat. I always had bigger thighs and butt and I have had a decades long struggle with body image issues.
My legs and butt continue to be bigger and my pregnancies changed my body shape so much. My rib cage is bigger, my hips wider. I just don’t know that I can get 120 on this frame anymore.
This is me as well except my stomach is big and my butt is not. I really wish my style wasn’t baggy and grunge as a teen bc I was 115 and 5’5, but pictures don’t look it. With my now much more muscular frame, I think 135 is about as low as I can go. It also was my easily maintained pre-pregnancy weight.
Now in my late 40s, there is no easily maintained weight and the scale only moves down very slowly with a restricted diet and exercise. It moves up very easily!
My goal is 141, 151 is more realistic and would still be a significant loss from my high of 191.
