Not sure where to post this but had to get it out! Saw my grandmother today & she asked me how much weight I had gained. I am wearing a dress that recently someone asked if I was preggo in. I prob shouldn't wear it but it is cotton & cool in this ga heat! Then we stopped by someone else's house & an older man asked me if I was "blooming or blossoming ska preggo.....geez do older ppl just say what they are thinking!
I've been working my tail off since march & only maintained my wt but I've started back counting calories & trying to do more hitt training but my stomach seems like it's the last thing to "firm" up
Ugh!!

    Is your glass half full or half empty? I think it is great that you've maintained your weight, better than gaining! Maybe you had a "healthy glow" that sometimes goes with preg women? Could it be an omen? LOL

    Ive had to block out what other people say. Their comments, whether good or bad, are all I will focus on when I hear them, so its best not to even pay attention. If you are working hard and seeing progress in yourself, thats all that you should focus on. I think that once u start back counting calories, you will see weight loss.

    Yep! Old people tell it like it is...and they don't realize what may or may not be appropriate. Kinda like kids! I have an abnormally large stomach for my body size...and I have had an old grocery clerk ask me if i was pregnant (when i was looking at wine to buy!), a drunk woman (at the bar I was working at) and MANY old people when I worked at an old folks home. Can't wait for that to be gone so there is no question.
