shellslyn...do you think your body changing shape is due to the continued WOE or do you exercise, or is it the combination? I'm wondering because my upper body looks pretty good, it is the lower body that still has lots of extra fat. I have heard that it can take a good amount of time for body fat to move around the body so that it is more evenly distributed, after a person loses weight/fat. I am trying to exercise, but haven't been consistent for any length of time.

I do nothing differently now then I did when I was in my weightloss stage(except for adding in more carbs maintaining) but my activity level is the same and I am, on the most part, a very clean eater (whole foods).
I don't exercise persay, my job the last couple years has been very physically demanding tho I look for that to change this next year because of a change in my job description. I work in a school so I have summers off and during the summers I do a lot of swimming exercising...laps, stretching, water exercising.
It is my lower body that is changing. I think it does have to do with fat distribution and skin shrinking back down.
One thing I have noticed with this WOE is that even when I was extremely thin(125 lbs, 5'11) I still had to wear large tops because I've always been broad through my shoulders. I'm actually able to wear many medium tops. I've no idea what the difference is, I know pant sizing is always changing and depends on the style, yet tops I've never noticed that with my body type.
It's actually been a very fun year, eating well, comfortable with my body and still seeing it change through the clothes I wear.
