Can rocking make you lose weight...I have a hypothesis lol

Hey everyone. My name is Kristin. I am 23 years old. 4'11 and my start weight was 185. When I was a kid id sit on the couch and rock back and forth. At 18 I stopped doing it and thats when I started to lose weight. I would eat anything and everything and wouldnt gain weight and I wasnt exactly active except for in school at gym. Thats about it. I now have a Son and im trying to eat healthier and exercise alot more. I lost 10lbs. Then I overate for a week and gained 5lbs...So ive lost 5lbs ugh.

    Huh? Is there a question in there somewhere? Also, if you lost weight when you "stopped rocking" how would said "rocking" hp you lose weight?

    What I gathered from this is that she overate for a week and gained some lost weight back after having a kid...which makes you gain weight anyway... and something about the fact your metabolism is better when you're younger meant she didn't gain weight as fast.
    ...I still don't get the point.

    My Sons 2....Sorry im a stay at home Mom cant post a huge long post...What I meant was I was 120lbs my senior year of highschool. I never gained weight. Id eat whatever I want and wouldnt have a care in the world about it. I stopped rocking on the couch at the age of 18. Thats when I gained 25lbs. My heaviest was at 200 when I was pregnant with my Son. Im just wondering if the rocking on the couch counts as exercise. I do it to relieve stress sometimes. I did it today for 2 hours.

    does your rocking chair have some magical weight loss properties….???

    no, it does not count as exercise.

    You gained weight because you ate too much, not because your magic rocking chair stopped functioning…

    wow ….

    Rocking on the couch? This is going to sound horrible, but right now I'm picturing someone in a straight jacket, in a padded room, rocking back and forth.

    And no. I doubt that counts as exercise or had anything to do with you not gaining weight.

    Um...I think it's a nervous habit. You should probably think about why you are rocking back and forth on the couch for two hours straight.

    Is it possible that this rocking soothes you, and when you don't have something physical to sooth you, you eat instead?

    Anyway, I'm outtie. I'm no shrink, ya see.

    She's saying she lost weight AFTER she stopped rocking on the couch.

    Don't worry. You weren't the only one confused and misreading that the first time around.

    I think she mis-wrote on the original post.

    " I stopped rocking on the couch at the age of 18. Thats when I gained 25lbs"
