Hi! I used to weight about 220 lbs, and now I weight about 153. I've maintained this weight loss for about 5 years. Pretty cool, huh?
I do so with a fairly strict low calorie vegetable based diet (with the occasional splurge of, say, 1/4 of a piece of cake on the weekends or a scoop of low-fat ice cream or sorbet), and a lot of exercise.
I have naturally very athletic legs. After my weight loss, I found I still had a bit of a belly-- like I lost weight fairly evenly everywhere except there. I'd even say it looks a bit odd, especially since my upper body is so slight. Combined with the strong legs I have a very pear-y body.
I'm doing harder work on my upper body so that I look more symmetrical. Is there anything else you would reccomend trying? Now that I'm at a fairly healthy weight for my body, I'd like to give it that extra oomph so I can really look smokin'.
