[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 44 years old, 5'4 and average around 124 pounds.  My body fat hovers between 18-21%.  I go into fat cutting diet phases for a few weeks if I need to get it down.[/quote]

I am 44, 5’6 and average around 118 pounds. I run two 5ks a week, do an average of 2 sessions of body weights (including Pilates and yoga) or 1 session of proper weight training a week. Walk a lot. People generally comment that I seem very fit.

BUT My body fat on dexa scan is 34 % :( … I am and have always been a skinny fat with very small bone structure, thin ankles, arms, legs, neck etc…but a doughy middle and little muscle mass. I have a VERY hard time keeping muscles when I manage to grow them. And to get rid of the fat I need to dip really low on the scale (like 105).

Saying that to illustrate what skinny fat can look like. I look both thin and curvy/ a bit too soft. My big goal is to up the weight training and next year get into the upper 20s on my dexa scan and stop using the scale as a measure of progress.[/quote]
