I am a skinny girl, but when I turned 35 I put on just enought to make my clothes not fit well. I tried everything it seemed & I couldnt lose more than a pound or two. (When you're already small its hard to lose anything at all) Im already a vegetarian & have been eating healthy for most of my adult life so dieting is really out. The only thing thats ever worked for me is running. I hate it but walking doesnt cut it. Once I stepped up to running things finally started changing. I have to tell you that I started very small-running 5 minutes, walking 5, running 5, walking 5. Im no marathon girl by any means. , but even just a short run 3x a week has finally helped. Ive never really seen an overweight runner- they always have the best physiques. Good luck, Im sure you'll look beautiful regardless!
