I'm a mom, have a mommy tummy, and I know I will never have a six pack. Jillian Michaels body is one I like, but realistically I just want to be healthy and look healthy.

What you said is so true. I found out that part of the reason I am trying to get fit is I used to never exercise and I was "pale, rounded and soft" but I was also really depressed and lethargic. After I began working out, I realized I feel the best I have ever felt in my life. I have actually stopped caring about the scale.

What you said is not mean in my opinon. It's your opinion and I respect that. What I found mean about what they said was the frequent use of the words disgusting, stupid, gross, and other terms that are usually used in insults. I'm not saying anyone has to like this body type, I just wish they would have worded it better I…

That's one of the many things I love about my husband, he can see attractiveness in different body types and has always told me I'm beautiful. Even when I feel like anything but.

Agreed. We just had this conversation at work. One coworker couldn't believe that a thinner coworker got body bashed by people telling her to eat a sandwich or that her thin wrists were "gross." Its unbelievable really.

To clarify, by girls with muscles I mean athletic, fit bodies. Not female body builders that take "supplements."

Then maybe he's mad that my mom and I are getting in shape together and that's his way of saying he doesn't like it? I don't really think that any body type should be a "deal breaker." Or that anyone should hate looking at another person.

:laugh: Probably true!

None taken! I think they are crazy too.

Haha! You're awesome! And I definitely agree.

I guess it's kind of sad coming out of someone you respect.

No, I just wondered the reasoning behind the body bashing.

Haha NO! Thats what made me laugh about the whole situation.

Sorry :(

I think they're all awesome, but the last one I agree is nice. Maybe I should chalk it up to their age? I don't know. I'm sure there are 60 to 65 year old guys that like muscles on their girls too.

I definitely realize this, but the way they were talking about women that have muscles was what got me thinking. It was just so mean! I totally understand, some guys like curvy girls, I think they are beautiful too. What I don't understand was the being mean about it part.

Me too! ;)

Oh, I completely agree! I used to be a b cup too, I don't even know what my biggest size was, but it was bigger than a C. I had a lot of ill fitting bras lol. Now they are ill fitting because they are too big, yay. Congrats on your NSV!

One egg over easy 3 slices of "Canadian" bacon (I don't know why it's called that lol) and vita coco :)

LOL:laugh:

This one! :laugh:

Good for you standing up for yourself! I know people that would have just put on a sweater or something. I completely know that feeling though, now or else!

Yes, in some situations it can be. But so can letting them sleep in a crib.

Oh get back in the kitchen :laugh:

Oh, that's so frustrating! Sorry you had to deal with such unaccommodating bosses. I agree, 10 minutes definitely is not long enough. I usually took about a half hour, so I guess I would be pumping and eating lunch at the same time! Haha:laugh:

She is now, but co-sleeping was a mutual decision made by us, meaning my husband and myself. We never had a problem being husband and wife either. I just hate sweeping generalizations. Not everyone is the same. Oh, and my husband has plenty of "spine" as you put it.

So co-sleeping for the first 16 months with my daughter makes me a tree hugging granola head who hate my husband. Okay, sure.

I'm on level 2 day 4 and I think 30ds is fantastic! I even looked ahead to see what level 3 looks like and I'm actually excited for it (I feel weird saying that.) I was sore for about 3 or 4 days when I started level 1 and again for about 2 days when I started level 2, although my thighs are still a little sore when I…

Wow, in Maine your boss has to provide a quiet, clean and private place for you to pump. And it can't be a restroom.

I think that pumping is dependent on the mom. I know some people who can pump rather quickly. I always took a while (about 30 or more minutes) because I was slow at letting down with a machine. Not so when I was bf-ing. I don't think it was the machine because I work at a hospital and used the hospital issue medela pump.…
