+1 Emily. People who see me in clothes think I am teeny teeny. And yes, thanks to size creep I wear a teeny tiny size. I am barely 5' 1" and my normal weight is about 107. During the cycling season, it's between 104 and 107, but if I am not totally stringent with my eating and exercise, it goes up pretty quickly to close to 110. At one point, in my early thirties I weighed 92-95. That didn't look so good, either.
I've always had a small waist and bigger hips/butt. In fact, my butt was huge at one point. When I was in my twenties, before I started going to the gym, it was very difficult for me to buy pants or skirts. I have a very small bust, too.
So, in the last couple of months, I notice my stomach, which is flat, is getting loose. I do not like this at all. I did core work all winter, but I think doing it at home doesn't push me enough. My hips seem to be getting bigger, too. My clothes still fit, but I am noticing a little more muffin top. The beginning of the cycling season has been slow here, with rain and cold. The muffin top usually goes away by June, but I think it's going to take more work.
My legs are short and my thighs are big from riding, but not entirely "hard." They seem to be a bit more flabby now, even with all of the x country skiing I did this winter. Well, at least my calves have that "cyclist" look.
I asked my DH to pay for personal training for my graduation present. I think it's going to take a big push to get me back to where I want to be. I know that for age 57 I look good, but it's not good enough for me.
