CNCMOM (879.4 days ago) Thanks ladies for all your tips and words of encouragement. Your responses made me feel much better. I won`t give up!
pooka (879.6 days ago) make sure your actually eating enough. You can`t lose weight if you eat too little and work out because your body will store it all. You need to eat the right amount of calories for your body size and the amount of exerciser your getting. Remembering larger people require more calories because they carry extra weight. This is why getting with a qualified dietitian or diet coach is a good idea they can give you an idea of what you should be eating. Lots of people fall into the false idea that to diet you just eat less and exercise more. I would write down everything your eating/drinking for a while week. Like every little bite. How much water your drinking. etc and seek out someone who can give you advice on how much you should be eating. Work on spreading it out through the day into small meals.
3blessings (879.6 days ago) It sometimes takes a while to notice results, but don`t give up!!! My body is the same way. Try not to worry about what the scale says, and think about how good you feel and maybe how you fit in your clothes, because remember that muscle weighs more than fat! Hang in there girl...you can do it :o)
jessica (879.6 days ago) what i do is i bought some dance vidios and just followed those and had fun with it i have had three kids with the youngest being 3 months old and im a llready back down to a size 7.. I was a size 13 after this last one and a size 15 after my daughter and i got down to a size 5 but i got there a couple of months before i got pregnant again so i guess that one was a lost cause...lol but i`ve learned that if you have fun with it you `lose` faster..
graciesmomma (879.6 days ago) Keep going! I would suggest, to help you with a jump start, do something similar to Southbeach for two weeks. It helped me tremendously getting the last few pounds off (and my waist back) after I had my daughter. Be sure and change up your workout routine as well so you don`t get bored. Good luck!
CNCMOM (879.6 days ago) Some type of cardio for 30-45 minutes on the treadmill, elliptical or bicycle. I then usually do arms or legs on the machines. I have been going 3-4 times a week. I had major surgery in June so I have to take it somewhat slow and I have just now started to do abdominal exercises. I was on Prednisone for 2 months and gained a ton of weight!
littlemissfatty!! (879.6 days ago) they say it takes 3 months to notice a decent difference when u r working out :-D
jessica (879.6 days ago) what kind of workout do you do?
nutnut (879.6 days ago) after i had my daughter i was loosing weight. i didnt notice alot in my clothing, and ended up loosing more weight than what i started with prior to getting pregnant. your clothing will probably fit differently from this point on. even though i was still a size 7/9 and weighed less than i originally did, the clothes were still noticably snugger in certain areas like my hips, thighs, and breasts. before my daughter i had no hips and no waist after my daughter i had a much more womanly figure =) i was fine with that.
