Modern Day Pin-up Girls - WEEK 6

Ashley_Panda

I'm hoping to keep mine too. They could be a little smaller since I had my son less than a year ago, but they're a good size and the Mr. likes 'em.

My little boy has been on a whirlwind today. He had therapy this morning and he has been non stop until about an hour and a half ago, now he's napping. Thank goodness.

Baking a caramel pecan topped pumpkin cheesecake for my Mr and father in law. I had to make something that I didn't like! :laugh:

I've thought about a reduction, as I've been a C cup since i was about 11 and am currently a DD. I am fairly large boned so my frame isn't overwhelmed, but they still seem to big.

I'm waiting till I get to my optimum weight before any hard-core thinking about it though. Shopping sucks when your chest doesn't fit into anything but a L, regardless of the rest of you.

hey ladies! I have a question, which my be a little personal. So I apologize in advance.

I was wondering if any of you had ever thought of a breast reduction. I have lost about 20 lbs now, and have lost nothing in my boobs, which are rather large. I plan on waiting until I lose more before I do anything about it... but i don't think they are going anywhere...

The thought of it freaks me out a little, and just wanted to know if I was alone!

Thanks!

I think i'd def wait until I'd lost the weight to see what I wanted to do. I've always had big boobs, which got quite fat as I did! I'm now in the high 170s and my boobs are a lot perter and slimmer, especially on the chest/collarbone area. I found push ups really toned and slimmed down that area

Maybe I need to start doing pushups.....I have no tone or definition on my chest. :happy:

Thanks for the advice guys! I am definitely going to wait until I've reached my ideal weight, and then make some decisions... I guess I'll just have to wait and see how my body changes!

One of our vendors brought in a couple boxes of donuts, muffins, pastries, etc this morning. Honestly, I'm not even the least bit tempted to grab anything. It doesn't look particularly appealing and I'm more focused on my goal of hitting 160 by the time my family visits me. Plus eating a bunch of crap will just negate my run this evening.

It's funny watching everyone else digging in and going back for seconds. In between mouthfuls they keep complaining about how fat they're getting or how much sugar this is..blah, blah, blah. It's kind of amusing, knowing I used to do the same thing.

That used to happen a lot at my old job. I wouldn't indulge (I was skinnier and smarter then) and I would hear, "You need to eat some of this, you're too skinny and it will save us from adding more pounds." Um yeah...

Yes! The people standing here complaining that they don't need it and are getting fat are freaking out at me for saying no thanks. 'Why don't you want any?? It's so good. You really need to eat some!!!' I'm like no...really I don't.

Ashley_Panda

Yeah, I know people that do that. ( My mom being one of them ) It makes me laugh.

~Great job staying focused!! You'll be right where u wanna be in no time if you keep that attitude!

~Well, my Day # 2 workout in the books, YaY! I am sooo sore today tho!!

At first I did think it was gallbladder because I had some of the symptoms, but I don't have constipation problems, then I thought it might of been kidney stones, but it doesn't say anything about shoulder pain
I didn't workout again today, the pain is still there, very painful at times, it even paralyze some of my movement. I been having this discomfort for about a week now :sad:

I would definitely make an appointment with your doctor, then. You don't have to have all of the symptoms for it to be your gallbladder. It could be something else, but you should definitely seek medical help if the pain is that bad. Feel better!

Ashley_Panda

I didn't have constipation with my gallbladder. They had to take it out. Ick.

First part of today's workout down. Wii Fit and Kick boxing. Now just to wait until the Mr. gets home from work to go for our walk!

Thinking about going to look for some invitations and stuff for our little boys first birthday party!

JennS19

So I want to get down to around 155 by the end of the year........that means I have to lose around 1.8 lbs a week for the next 13 weeks. Hmmmm It doesn't sound like a lot but I fear it will be hard to achieve. I really hope I can make it though.

Tonight I'm working on my CardioX routine and tomorrow is Arms and Back (one of my favorites) I'm bummed that I got behind this week and didn't get a workout in on Monday, and I'm afraid how Thur will play out because I have class. I think I'll have to wake up early to get my workout in before going to work. We'll see how that goes.

SweetPandora

Rach great job with the willpower

sugarskull sorry to hear you are having pain.

I'm having my own dilemma! I've gained 6 lbs in the past 3 days! I went to my Dr. this morning and she sent me for bloodwork. I'm hoping that it is just my thyroid out of whack and my prescription needs to be adjusted. It's going to at least a week before she gets the results, at the rate I'm gaining that would be another 14 lbs!!! :noway:

Kekibird

A bit lost. I had a great sense of motivation then my son left for a week to visit his dad.

During that time I did very little and just relaxed.

Now, I'm struggling to get back into some routine. I have no clue what to do. I'm just so tired.

Ugh........

The only thing stopping me from going to the doctor is that I don't have insurance, I know I'm gonna have to go different testings and to be honest with you, I don't have the money for that , so I'm just taking pain meds in hopes it goes away

Rach--I had a stressful day as well yesterday. (not relationship related...family related ugh!)
So I did a little yoga...didn't work. Hit the elliptical...a little better. Then I finally had to run it out lastnight! ahhh...much better!
Nothing beats a good run!

Dani

I hear you!! I was in a foul mood this afternoon, just found out as I was heading to the gym that I've pretty much lost one of my clients at work, they keep decreasing and decreasing their order until it's almost nothing. Didn't think I was in the mood for the gym - the fat girl inside was telling me to go home and get some chocolate bars on the way! But I DIDN'T I sweated it out on the cross trainer and my God I feel so much better now! If they don't want my business, screw 'em! Hehehe

*Teensy bit jealous here*
My boobs definitely disappear with my excess weight! And I kinda like them as they are!! (luckily my boyfriend's a bum man...)

RachVR6

Okay, so since I'm still working on reclaiming my copy of P90x.... along with C25k, I think I'm going to start the 100push-up challenge. After I complete that I'm going to maintain it and start the 200 sit-ups, and after that maintain the two and start the 200 squat. I love a good challenge, and I want to start seeing these things to their completion, not just dumping them a couple weeks in. :flowerforyou:

RachVR6

Alrighty!! Signed both my bf and I up on the pushupslogger so we can start the 100pushupchallenge. Yay!! Starting that after our run tonight.

I think you can make 155 by Dec 31. As long as you can stay focused through the holidays.

I'm hoping to get to 185 by Dec 11--graduation! I've set up a cheat for myself during Thanksgiving...I'm getting my wisdom teeth out just days before, and unless I can stomach pureed turkey and stuffing, then I should do pretty well for that holiday! lol. Still dreading the smell and look of the food without tasting it. But I can still have mashed potatoes!

Oh I know how hard that was on you, but you can get back into a routine! You were so looking forward to being able to do that.

Maybe you're tired because you're body is used to relaxing for that week? Your energy levels may have dropped. But if you start back slower than you dropped off, maybe it won't be so hard to get back into.

Good luck. And here's some positive energy: ~~~~~~~~~~~

Haha! I definitely don't want my boobs to go away. I'm at a D now, and I love them, but I wouldn't mind if they were a little perkier. But for you, it just depends on what you're comfortable with. And clothes shopping is annoying. But I've never experienced shopping where I didn't hate how I looked in everything. Really looking forward to that.

@Cath--I'm so with you on that! And my guy's the same way.

brittanydaniel79

I just wanted to share some updates I'm really excited about! I'm in the middle of week 2 for C25K and 100 pushup/200 situp challenges. Today, I put on a shirt I bought about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and the sleeves had buttons on them I couldn't button, but today, I could! I've always had issues with my arms, and it's so amazing to be seeing these results so fast.

You're not the only one! Every ounce of weight I gain goes straight to my butt and thighs and every ounce of weight I lose seems to disappear from my bra cups! :ohwell: So with every ounce in either direction, I just get more and more out-of-proportion. lol

But I have a friend who has DDs and she has a lot of back problems and difficulty finding clothing, so I know that both extremes are difficult in their own way. If I were you, I would definitely wait to get to your goal weight and think long and hard before making any decisions.

Thanks. I have severe anemia and when I fell off track, I lost my routine of taking my iron and multivitamins. So that's not helping either.

Plus I just laid out my month and damn am I busy. I mean *really* busy. I'm staying up to midnight working on projects and doing chores. It's just crazy busy. So that's not helping.

Urgh...... :huh:

Good evening Ladies!

Well, some of you may have seen on my page that I went to the doc today and he told me I have tendonitis in my right Achilles. It's treatable, but I will be changing things up for the next couple of weeks as far as exercise goes. No more jumping, so Insanity is out, (for now, I will finish that program!) and I can't finish up C25K, as I was planning on doing that 5k in November. Well, the 5k, is still possible, technically. I'll be able to at least run/walk it. I may not be able to run the whole thing and that is totally ok with me.

So, I am going to start that 100 push-up challenge! I didn't really have have time before, and now I do. I see that several of us are do this challenge. Is there a way for us to link up? I also saw that they do a squat challenge and a sit-up challenge. I might do all of those as part of my interim routine since none involve jumping
Doc also said I can continue with the elliptical for cardio and, (my new found love) rowing.

I gotta keep going! I'm so close to my goal and vacation is coming!

I see several of us are having some trials right now. I'm glad we have this thread to share our good and ugly on!

RachVR6

I'm a liiiiiittle but frustrated with my running right now... :grumble:

I pushed myself and did all 8 runs in Week 1 of c25k, but I HURT!! The arch of my left foot feels like it's ripping when I take a step, my knees almost feel like they're grinding behind my knee caps, my shins hurt but that happens every time, and my hips hurt. I might soak in the tub for a few minutes while my muscles cool down. I'm sure it's lack of vitamins, and not enough/not the right kind of stretching.

So irritating though!!

Okay I"m done whining. I'm proud of myself for pushing through though!! Off to do a few push-ups before I make dinner.
