I am a 1351bs, 35yr old women. I work out 3-4x/wk. I don't like to do much cardio because I get too skinny so I work out at a gym that does circuit training with weights. I eat 3-4/day, which normally consist of Special K cereal and a yogurt for breakfast, tuna wrap with a slice of cheddar cheese, hard boiled egg, and a Activa yogurt for lunch, for supper is whatever I make my family, and I make sure to have 8-10 glasses of water a day. I don't drink pop or coffee. I drink alcohol almost every weekend with our friends. I had a tummy tuck about 5yrs ago after having two children, the doctor said I didn't have any fat, that all he removed was excess skin. I am happy with my weight but I am not happy that I can't get any definition in my arms or abs. I can feel them but can't see them... I hate that when I sit down when wearing a bikini that a roll of fat or skin??? hangs over and my inner thighs become huge. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Do I need to cut alcohol out completely or do I need to change my diet?
