[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'9 and 130, so not quite Kate Middleton size these days although I've been closer to 120 for much of my adult life (I'm 50 now).

I think when people say "genetics"- it's not just being able to eat whatever and be naturally thin, but also frame size. I have a VERY small frame. I've seen people of my height post that they look "emaciated" at 140, and that would NEVER be the case for me. At 140 I would look like a potato on stilts.

This made me laugh and I so relate. I’m 5’8” and 150-155. Before kids I was 130, but really struggled to lose the weight and I’m not interested in restricting food or working out that often right now. I have that mix of genetically small frame like you (my pinky and thumb wrap around my wrist but with just a bit of overlap) but not genetically blessed metabolism (if I eat “normal” for me I don’t lose weight below 150, but I don’t gain either). I totally have that potato on stilts look right now. I get double chins and jowls at this weight even though it’s average. I have no boobs and it just reads as a layer of pudge. [/quote]
