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.

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.

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

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.

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?!?!?!

Next week, I guess.

Yes...please take all discussions to the PAWeightSupport group though, as

Jacquie would rather we do it that way.

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

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!

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....

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

ones in the box!! Must have been a real talented order picker.

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!

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!

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.
