[quote=Anonymous]I can relate to a lot of these posts.  I'm in my early 40s and have had a few kids.  I'm 5 feet tall and 120 but I'm where I should be at this stage of my life.  I'm toned (even muscular) and have abs and a small waist (even if there is some wrinkly skin).  During summer I'll drop down to 115 to be more confident in a bikini but I still wear a bikini at 120 and frankly at even higher weights.

I felt I had to chime in because I'm seeing posts with taller stats and less weight.  At 5 feet tall and 115, I already get comments about how gaunt I look, and I'm not entirely sure how I pulled off 5 feet tall and under 110s back as a teenager and in my early 20s.  Aging likely makes your face more gaunt when you lose weight.

In any event, I do feel heavy over 120 lbs but I'm a runner and I can feel every pound over that weight.  And to maintain 120 or lower I eat well/healthy and exercise 6 times a week, including cardio and strength training.

I think I look great, my husband and kids think I look great, and I feel healthy and that's all that matters.  No one thinks I need to be losing any more weight.[/quote]
