Well girlies, I´m joining you now for real. I first saw this thread in May, but haven´t been following it since.
First I want to say CONGRATULATIONS SHELL on your remarkable success!!! And to the others too!
The other day, I totally had enough! Last May I weighed the same as a year before, then beeing 9 months pregnant! And now I weigh a bit more! I dont fit the clothes I wore when I was seven months pregnant! And even my maternity clothes are too small!!!
So, I´ll let you in on my secret.
Now I weigh 174 Lbs. Just over 3 years ago I was less than 140 Lbs, which was by far the mosth that I had weight, since I never was more than 130. 1996 I was wearing size 10 (European size, I think thats 6 or 8) and now I´m wearing 14-16 (still European) I have to buy XXL, where S was fine before. Since I´m not tall (5´4" or 5´5", Im not sure, since we use cm) it´s a quick change from having slim and "sexy" body to beeing fat.
I have one pants that I fit into (except for my jogger pants, that I actually LIVE IN), and it´s been like that for a while. The sad thing is though, that it´s never the same pants! I keep having to buy bigger ones, that I then grow out of.
A while ago I even bought 2 pairs, they were a bit to long, my mum was gonna fix them, but before she did they didn´t fit me anymore!
SO...in September I will have no sweets, no cakes, no soda, no eating after 10 PM, no sugar. Popcorn and chewing gum are allowed, a lot of water, and the use of my flex belt.
I did this for some weeks 2 years ago, go try to loose weight before I got pregnant (and by the way
, exactly 2 years ago today, well, or tomorrow, my son was "made"
), and it worked wonders. I was working at the museum I have been working at, where I wore the national costume, and I had to move the button on my apron several centimeters.
Now I´ve just had enough of me. Looking at some pics taken this summer I realize I look like the Michelin´s mans wife! (You know the tire man thing...)
