I asked a plastic surgeon. My doctor hadn't a clue. He said I had a "medium" frame. When I was larger, I preferred to think it was "large!" ; ) Now, I don't have a lot of weight on my hips and when I button my jeans - I feel the pressure on my hip bones. I'm thinking I won't get much smaller in that area. I could be wrong tho - this is a totally new feeling for me. Hell, realizing I have hip bones is new for me! But, I am loving it! I think goals are important and need to be attainable. My first was 175, because at 210 that seemed huge. Muscle does weigh more than fat - back to the original question...
