  • yayy Im down 1 pound! not much but hey it's something.
  • Every pound counts
  • I would love even more than my 4 kids, but 4 sections was definately enough for me..lol For some unknown reason my pelvis isn't large enough to pass a baby, it wouldn't seperate no matter what we tried.. sigh. Oh well, my kids are here and healthy and that is all that matters

    I often see larger people in clothes that I think "what the heck are they thinking, don't they own a mirror???" What is weird is for most things I have an I don't care what others think, but as far as clothing, yeah my body needs covered. I'm not so sure that is for the benifit of others more than it is for my own pride.
  • I hope y'all don't mind, but I added myself.

    My hubby and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary at Disney World. It's at the end of May and it will be sans our four kiddos! I'd love to wear a bathing suit by then, so this challenge would be perfect for me! I knew my Nov 1st weight, so I added it to the chart.
  • My weight seems to be firmly stuck in the 240's, hmm...IDK what to do to get it OUT of the 240's but I know I am going to have a "gain" for the next few weeks because the bootcamp I got to is having a bunch of holiday specials so I can afford to go at least through christmas, so yea...I probably won't see a real loss until December at least. But that's okay, I'll be working out and getting my body toned and stronger.
  • Fit, if you are calorie counting you can try playing with them a little maybe?
  • Hi Everyone, I am late, but I AM IN!!! I will use my starting weight here as the beginning and go from there. I wont be near goal but I should be about halfway by that point and will be glad to show off the progress!!!
    Starting - 265
    current wt 258
    Goal for June 199 (that's just shy of 60 lbs)
    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
  • OMG0- the thought of trying on swimsuits next year sounds a little scary for me! I'll certainly be in a one pc and think that slim wise I'll look good by then at goal weight, however I'm nervous becuse my legs are FANTASTIC looking to- EXCEPT my upper thighs. Already looks aweful and I'm so afraid I wont be able to wear a one pc but stil have to find a bathing suit that has a pretty skirt to hide the excess skin and perhaps stubborn fat. But I'm in!
  • I know its a little late but I'm in! My Nov. 1st weight was 220. I would LOVE to be around 150-140 ish by summer next year
  • 10th.. holy moly! My doc said he had done a 6th, and another in his practice had done a 7th. He did say I healed really well from them, but we had decided we needed to stop at 4, and I guess it's a good thing. I hemmoraged after the last and it ended up being a nightmare. I bounced back from each pretty well though. My first I labored without any drugs, I had nothing till I got into the OR and had been in transisition for 2 1/2 hours before everyone showed up for the surgery. I Would do it without drugs any day if it weren't for the sections, but my last 2 were big babies and made me thankful I didn't have to push them out, 9lb5oz (and he was 4 weeks early!) and 8lbs12oz, my other boy (my first was 7lbs2oz) and my only girl was 6lbs2oz.. so there was a big jump in size there from the first 2 to the second 2. I think I'm happy being done... I look forward to the day when hubby and I have some time to ourselves once they are all raised.
  • Quote: With my daughter (1st child) I had the epidural and said never again, my back was killing me for a while.
    It's pretty interesting how people have such different experiences. I was on Pit with both my kids, no epi with the first one and got an epi with the second. My second labor was such a breeze I said I'll never do it without an epi again! I didn't have any lasting effects from it though, if I had I'd probably be thinking differently.
