ok guys, I just have to say that "skinny fat" is real. Somehow I have managed to get down to a size 0, yet those cutoff shorts elude me, do to pretty much no lean muscle and cellulite. Well crap....I don't really want to increase my food intake because sugar/carbs is one slippery slope and I still have to maintain for my wedding in September of 2017. So i am trying to brainstorm light exercise (cause I work 6 days a week no and have no energy, despite my downing copious vitamins).
Thus far I have come up with one of those Pinterest pre-shower Hit lists (ie, 20 jacks, 20 situps, 10 push ups etc.), or maybe a little list of "in office" exercises. Should I consider like a 15-20 min yoga session? I still get in like 6-7k steps daily and always take the stairs but it isn't doing anything for the back of my thighs.

I haven't been good at weighing myself regularly in February because things were quite difficult for me and I was stressed. But I'm 116 lbs now and would really like to make it at least to 112 by the end of this month. Things are still difficult and I have to see a cardiologist for a 24-hour ECG on Friday. I wish I could lose 1 lbs till then because iI'm scared they're going to tell me I just need to drop a few pounds for the issues with my heart to disappear. I know that sounds silly at my weight, but on an orthopedy-forum a woman complained about seeing a doctor for her knee problems and she was 169 cm and weighed 62 kg and the orthopedist took one look at her and said she could come back once she had dropped 20 kg. It scared me a bit, apparently you can't be thin enough for some doctors.

Yoga really made a huge difference in my case. But I wonder if you're being too harsh on yourself? I think I was, a few months ago, and am not sure what made me relax. I'm at 5'2" and 109.8 right now, which is actually around five pounds higher than when I worried about it more. Maybe the yoga freed my mind, lol.

God bless you AND your heart, Cally! I'm sure you and the doctors will figure out the situation in a safe way. I hope it's o. k. to say, be sure and eat as healthily as humanly possible.

I think Yoga might be worth a try.
I may be being hard on myself but within the time frame I am working with to be "my best shape" I don't think I am being unreasonable. I think I have just hit the, "ok now what" stage of things and feel a bit stagnant.
