I'm having a real problem getting down to target of 154 or less and I diet really well.  I have to think that estrogen rreally does cause us to add weight... I love my new hips but the layer of fat on my ribs and the slight roll over my skirt waistbands annoys me.

Well that makes sense about having more fat because of the loss of muscle, but I don't have muscle as it is so I don't think I'll a big difference in my strength *I cant even bench like 75 pounds* but that's one thing good about working with a bunch of macho guys lol, they usually lift stuff for me

Well as long as I get fats in the spots I want, hips, face, ect, then I wont mind. The women in my family are burn fat fast too, there's only 2 in my family that don't, my grandma and my mom, so I wonder if estrogen will make me more like them or like the other women in my family. The problem with that though is, the women in my family are kinda flat chested and don't have a lot of curves because they burn fat so fast :/

Oh goodness, so I have lots to look forward to...more fat!!
