January/February weight management challenge

[Catrin]

Are you sure 125 pounds is appropriate? If I weighed 125 I'd only have 5 pounds of body fat! And I'm not super tall - only 5'5".

I used to be 5'4", but am now 5'2.75". Normal but it is a little frustrating.

At 135 pounds I've still a significant spare tire - traditional 'apple' shape. Now part of that is due to having had two major "female" surgeries - the first one of which they cut those muscles all the way across. I will never have a 6-pack (even if I cared about that), or even a flat stomach.

At my smallest I was 128 (back when I was way-overdoing things), and I still had that spare tire...however you could see the bones in my upper-chest above my breasts? I am unsure what you call that those bones... I think I would be happy back at 130, if I can dip a bit below that during prime riding season then that would be good There are still a good number of medium jerseys I can't wear - mainly due to my boobs but that tire doesn't help.

I seem to carry my weight more like a man (only around my middle). I never did have a butt or large thighs - certainly not in proportion to my stomach Thankfully things are more in proportion these days, but that remaining tire is maddening
