RE: OT: Exercise

[Guest guest]

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.

How long have you been on that weight? Maybe we can encourage each other

to do some exercise.

:-( I'd love to weigh what either of you weigh. I'm 5'6 " and weigh

220lbs. Ick, don't even like seeing it in print, let alone on the

scale.

I SO need to get my act together and start eating better. Add it to the

mountain of " need to do " things. <sighs>

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

> thanks sue. i suppose the accomplishment is applaudable but i still miss

cigarettes everyday!! when will it end???

Can't say. DH quit 4 years ago and he says that whenever he walks by

someone smoking he still wants one!

now that summer is on it's way it's going to be even harder (paul and i

always smoked outside so living where we do you can understand why summer

was peak smoking season!)

Mark wouldn't smoke around the kids, period. So any smoking he did was

outside. The kids didn't even know he smoked!

Hang in there! You've made a great start!

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.

[Guest guest]

LOL!

5 foot tall.

I said I would be happy to see 110. I didn't say that is what I weighed

before children. There is a difference there. At the time and I got

married (I was 22 years old) I weighed all of 88 lbs. I had the metabolism

where I could eat anything that wasn't nailed down and in large quantities

and not gain an ounce of weight. I wore a size 14 in little girls pants and

a size 32DD bra. After a very embarassing experience told me he was

never taking me shopping for clothes again.

It's not so much the 140 just the steady progress of fat over muscle

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

undershirts and AA cups I wore in younger years) I cannot fathom

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

the other person gets that same tissue as an augmentation? Leggs

(Sadly regarding my ironing board chest...)

Well, my offer is open to anyone who wants them. THing is, I'd look funny

with smaller boobs and this HUGE belly. I'm proportionate now.

LOL Leggs, I am flat too and didn't know bras went over size E. Do you think it

Hi Penny,

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

Thanks

Jacquie would rather we do it that way.

Jacquie, I may need your help posting a monthly announcement!

Yes there is, and bigger. These are specialty sizes and you have to

get them from specialty stores and pay an arm and half a leg for

them. Since they have to do alot of support work they wear out much

sooner than you would like them to for the money spent, and then must

be replaced. When you go to replace them you find that they don't

have the same make anymore, or the company changed hands, or the one

they have in your size/model is mismanufactured and fits bizarly.

There's nothing fair at all about it. I'm am looking forward to the

day when I am all done with babies and young children and then I am

going to consider a reduction.

[Guest guest]

You just described it perfectly. Autism + young children + moving +

health stuff = me in a size 12/13 when I used to wear a 6/8. Blech.

Isn't changing anytime soon either. Sigh.

hmmm maybe if I had to give an arm and a leg for my bra, I could that 110 lbs

someone was talking about...lol

>>Since they have to do alot of support work they wear out much

Seriously I had some boobs while nursing (I think I had B-C nursing bras) and I

really don't envy you ladies, I found them in my way plus they must cause back

and neck pain. I have a friend who had a reduction and said it was the best

thing she ever did for herself.
