Thank you! Exercise has been really important to me in this, because even though I haven't been clinically overweight in years, I never exercised and I was always in the "obese" category of body fat % (30%+), even when I weighed in at 130.
I finally realized a couple years back that this is what made the difference - that if you stand two women the same height next to each other, someone who weighs 135 with 30% body fat will look fatter than someone who weighs 145 with 25% body fat.
So now I know if I want to feel healthy and be happy with my result, dieting down to a smaller gut is not enough - gotta get that muscle!
