[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]NP! 49. Female, 5.5 height, 130 pounds. Menopausal. This is the heaviest I've ever been. Was 122-125 for a decade.

I don't even recognize my body. Joined an expensive gym. Since late June, I have been working out at the gym on rower, treadmill, climber and ellipticals for total 50 minutes, 4-6 x week. Last night I ran a mile, then walked 2. Also just started weights, but am starting w 10 lb. and doing reps.

I am GF. Eat a vegetarian diet. Abstain from alcohol. Trying IF on weekends.

I hate how I look in a swimsuit. My work clothes are tight around my hips and former waist. Gone up a bra size.

What am I doing wrong? I guess I thought I'd notice some change by now...

I'm sleeping better. Can now run...not having hot flashes so often...feel like cardio health has improved. But still feel like my body has betrayed me!

dp  You weight sounds fantastic to me!  I wish I was that thin and you are taller than me too.[/quote]

NP. Right? I always find it funny when someone’s idea of overweight is my goal. Not knocking them- we all have different body types and expectations. I’m 5’5” currently 135 and would love to be 130. I am pretty fit, workout a lot, am proportional, and don’t carry much belly fat (I’m hips, butt, thighs), so maybe that helps me like the way I look at a heavier weight than some other posters would be.
