[quote=Anonymous]I am similar except 5’5.  I was 120 at 23 when I got married and skinny. No muscle, always did cardio for exercise. I had 6 kids in 9 years and always settled around 130 between kids. Since the last I was hovering 138-140, size 6/small. But I also started strength training seriously. I only weigh myself at the doctor because I have a love/hate with the scale and don’t find them accurate. In the last year, I’ve been doing IF and really upped my strength game and I gained 3lbs (143!!!) between doctor visits. But my clothes are looser and I could probably buy size 4 this summer. I can also see so much muscle definition and I’m still working on it.

Yes, I could stop all of this and diet like crazy and only run and get down to 120 on the scale but is that natural for me? Probably not and I would be miserable in the process. I felt like a kid at 23 and of course I was super light. Most people are smaller when they are younger.  But age and pregnancies change things so I don’t agree that it’s necessary to be the same weight at nearly 40 years old. [/quote]
