Keep up the exercise programme, drink more water, cut out junk food, cut down on the portions, eat more small meals during the day (breakfast, mid-morning healthy snack, lunch, mid-afternoon healthy snack, dinner) and don't eat late at night.

Yes, I agree with you. I did train in body building and nutrition years ago and that was the message. I do all of the above and I am a size 14. I would be a size 18 or higher otherwise - as all of the other women in my family are.
Also a size 14 means something different depending on the country. I wear a size 10 or 12 in the US, and a size 12 here.
Genetics play a huge part but you can be slimmer than those in your family by doing the above.

Re: Omg!!
Yes about the spot reducing. When I slim down I slim down everywhere. I don't want to lose my curves - I like them - but I like to be more toned and less flabby.
The older I get, the harder it is to lose the extra weight for sure.
I never liked junk food, but I do have a weakness for chocolate - so I have to really watch that. If I don't eat many small healthy meals, and I don't excercise 3-5 times min. a week, I gain weight the first week! - except for when I'm in Jamaica?
