Well the reason I only gained a total of 30 lbs while pregnant with

twins is because I was confined to a bed for 4 months. I lost at least

20lbs of muscle mass from atrophy. After I had the twins and could move

around, I literally got winded walking from one end of my house to the

other ... and once on the floor, I could not stand back up by myself

unless I had a sofa or chair to crawl up.

I am about 50lbs heavier than I would feel comfortable with, and would

ideally like to lose 70-80lbs.

Re: OT: Exercise

wow Debbie that is amazing, only gaining 30 lbs while pregnant, with

twins no less!!

I am about 30-35 lbs heavier than I would like to be and very out of

shape so I totally understand what you mean about feeling unattractive

RE: OT: Exercise

Well, I was down to 190lb before I got pregnant with the twins. Then

I

went up to about 220lb while pregnant. After the pregnancy I was

about

200lbs which felt fabulous.

Then I moved in with my MIL for a few months while we quickly

renovated

the house we were supposed to move into. Highly stressful time, and

my

MIL feeds, feeds, feeds ... I put all the weight back on in just a few

months. I've actually lost weight to be at 220-225lbs now.

I'd really like to lose some of this. Between the weight and " twin

belly " , I feel flabby, saggy, altogether not attractive.

On exercise thwarted:

Having decided I will NOT live like this any longer, and that I MUST get a

good pair of running shoes so I may walk on the treadmill and make my

arthritic joints as limber as possible, I ordered shoes from Sears.

They came in yesterday.

This morning, I DUMPED at school with nary a look back and raced home

to open my shoes. 10W. (big!) I tried them on. A little loose. Well,

maybe more than a little, as they were rubbing against my ankle bone...but

still.

I looked at the box to double-check. 9W. Oh my! 9W TOO BIG? Unreal!

I took off the shoes to lace them properly. Caught a glimpse of the size on

the insole. 11W. WHAT?!?!?!

<sigh>

Next week, I guess.

I still drink my coffee...I refuse to give it up.

I attempted to drink a non-fat, sugarfree vanilla latte the other day...just

ain't happening.

So, I'll stick with my non-fat Mocha's...chocolate and coffee all in one!

Re: OT: Exercise

Oh yeah! I would be thrilled, but since stressed=desserts and my

vices are coffee and chocolate, it is unlikely I will see that for

many many years to come. I would smoke, because it seems like such a

soothing vice, but allergies and asthma just don't make for good vice

partners. Now if they could just come up with a calorie free

chocolate....

breakfast.

Hi Penny,

Sorry I know you posted the link before to the weight group but would you be so

kind as to post it again?

Thanks

Good grief! Not only screwed up the size for the order, but sent the wrong

Ok, I've got to ask this, how tall are you?? I'm 5'3 " and was 112 before

kids, 120 after. Since I turned 43 a couple years ago, I'm now 135. You

were either more of a stick than I was or you are very petite!

I assumed you didn't mean this was your pre preggers weight! That's why I

Heeheee. I had the overall demensions to fit my weight. Nothing large

anywhere on me. Now I am somewhat wider (nearing 45 of course) and far from

being very toned ( I really need to get motivated). Even the thought of

putting on a swimsuit isn't getting me excersizing yet. If I could just get

rid of the pre menopause weight I'd be happy, however, I've been told that

you can't lose that weight, so I need to excercise. Problem for me is that

after cleaning other peoples homes, I really don't feel like it!

Oh well.

Well, nothing personal, but I don't want to beat anyone here! I come from a

family of large women (including my mom), but I seem to have more of my

dad's gene's. My highest weight was 159 during pregnancy.

By the way, my personal opinion is that weight is just something you wear,

it has nothing to do with who you are. And you are fabulous without the L.

Okay, I had heard of a 32 DD bra size, but a 32 G??? There is

actually a G cup? Being an A cup myself (This is growth from the

this! Now, I ask you, is this fair? Can't plastic surgeons think of

some kind of swapping surgery where one person gets a reduction and

Leggs,

They go up to at least I cup. You don't want to know my size, but I will

Yes, there is such a thing as a G cup. They aren't easy to find either.

When I was nursing I needed like a 34 H/I bra.

For me it isn't. I was about 180 when I graduated, gradually went up. Was

about 220 when I met hubby. Was 242 day I had . Actually went down

to 209 within a couple weeks and then started taking Elavil for depression.

My weight soared, went in for heart surgery, my dad died, and my

weight's been pretty stable at about 245-250 for a couple years now.

Re: OT: Exercise

Does anyone else think the autism has something to do with it? Seriously?

I

was 120 size 6 my whole life. After I got married I had to wear and 8 and

then I realized that it was because I was pregnant! I'm only 5'4. I was

up

to 135 then Guy had his stroke and I went back to 120.

Now with her program etc etc I'm up to 140. I try to workout but every

time

I start anything she's dragging me somewhere or she needs help or she's

destroying something etc etc etc.

Or you're up all nighr so you just don't have the energy. Or you want to

go

for a walk but she doesn't so she goes limp so that ends that. Or you try

to

do pushups and she's climbing all over ... blah blah blah.

No wonder I'm fat.

Weight gain due to medication just sucks. I've put on a lot of weight

Could that be because of the medication? Lovox made me gain weight, now

Most definitely. I felt really great on it, but it made me crave food

constantly. Sweet, fatty stuff. :-( Found out it's the same drug they

gave my husbands grandmother when she was in the hospital and wouldn't eat.

Weird thing is, I had been on it before, so I was aware of it, and STILL

couldn't stop myself. Course, even when you stop the medications, the

weight doesn't go away with it. :-(
