I have no idea where to post this question...felt it fit best here. So here it goes:
First some backgroud. I am 4'10". I weight about 124, so BMI is 24-25...a bit high. I am not "petite". I have big legs and I have a real compact (maybe "stocky") build. So I have always had large legs, big muscles and of course a bit of fat (ok maybe more than a bit). I have NEVER EVER liked my legs. When I began cycling it helped. However I now have fat and "sagging" to my legs. It is like when I pull up on my thighs and make it tigher it is better. I mean when I do downward dog I see saggy elephant knees!
So YES I need to lose some weight and I am back focusing on diet (cutting back) and more rounded (and steady) exercise: running, cycling and weights/functional exercises. SO do you think IF I lose %fat and continue to "tone up" will the "sagging" go away. Or is it the fact that I am 47, lost elasticity and that darn gravity...I am destined to have this sagginess?
I really am pretty upset by how they look. I already wear a LOT of long shorts or capries...but I live in FL I cannot stay covered up...nor do I want to.
Any suggestions? I am not interested in anything like lipo...and I dont' think I would ever of thought of plastic surgery....but I am afraid that this look is here to stay.
Any thoughts? Advice? I don't mean to sound vain...but I just want my legs to look better and I am feeling discouraged.
Thanks!
K
