Ex-7x/wk athlete bod -- poss. to regain?

lunaparker Posts: 3 Joined: 2005/12/30	2006/01/18, 02:05 PM hey there, i've looked all over the site (as suggested) but wanted to get some advice from anyone in a similar situation and/or the moderators: I was a tri-season athelete in HS/Undergrad, also did a ton of dance, etc., spent the next couple of years working out 5-7x/wk, with a very active schedule (no car, walking a lot, stairs etc.) I was always very very thin, 135 at the most despite the fact that I am 5'7" and very busty. In the last two years my level of activity in my daily life has decreased dramatically for numerous circumstances, and I also had a bad reaction to a birth control pill that I'm not on anymore. I've seen a change in my body that I hate and I can't really gauge why -- some people say it's just because I'm older now and my "body is changing" but I doubt it. I eat very healthy -- I've been monitoring it on the nutrition tracker and I'm almost always slightly below in calories; but even when I'm doing a workout that is pretty good for non-athlete standards (3-5/wk cardio and weights) I find that I'm not really losing the weight. I am very strong and pretty lean except in stomach/thigh areas which is totally new, has never happened before. I am concerned that I will need to do a routine close to my old level of activity to see my old body when others who have been more sedentary get by on less. Any truth there?
