This is a hard question because I don't particularly have a desire to be soooo THIN or sooooo FIT that I would be called "thin" or "fit". I would like moderately thin and moderately fit, like maybe skinny fat but able to run up the stairs without being breathless? If I was pushed (like something terrible would happen if I didn't make a decision), I guess I'd pick thin over fit. Just being honest. Even though it's not the PC thing to say. The fact of the matter is that to me exercise and fitness is more of a habit than something I enjoy. I have been large for so long, that I kind of have no choice but to try to do a little strength training so that my 25-yr-old body doesn't come out so ravaged when I get to goal. The truth of the matter is that whilst I don't mind having aerobic fitness, I don't particularly like the toned look with the cuts delineating muscle etc but that's kind of what I have to go for now, to try and limit the saggyness as I approach goal.
I guess to be honest with myself and with you all, I haven't put in all this effort just to be fit. I could have achieved fit 40lbs ago. I don't watch my diet for fitness' sake. I have zero aspirations to be an athlete of any kind or that super fit person in the gym. Maybe as I get older my answer will change, but for right now, really I just want to be smaller (no smaller than size 6-8ish) and somewhat fit (aerobically) in that order.
