Asked By:julie a in California, CA

Details, I'm 55, about 5'5" tall, have weighed between 129 and 138 for the last 37 years. I have 2 kids -- the youngest is 20. I have always had heavy hip and legs compared to the rest of my body. I exercise regularly. I can't see myself changing my eating or exercise habits to maintain the weight lost.
