Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 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.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 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.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 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. Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 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! Penny :-D Re: OT: Exercise > I'm with you, . I'd give my eye teeth to weigh 131 again. > 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.... who is drinking coffee and sampling Easter chocolate for breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 > 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!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 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.
