Modern Day Pin-up Girls - WEEK 6

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:

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

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!

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...

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

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 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!

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:

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!

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

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.

Haha, love it! Great job with the will power -you sound really focussed on your goal :-)

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.

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!

*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...)

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.

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.

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!
