I think you would have to lower total body fat. I have read some about gaining glute muscle- may help lesson the thigh bulking to hold up your skeleton. If you get a better answer, you could make a blog and get rich.

I have been through a similar situation. Having 9 children and losing myself. I was up to 212lbs at one point. I have slowly lost 56 lbs. just two days ago, I started on what should be my last 10 lb. Loss. You can do this, and the rewards are so sweet

Tierd of bodily aches & pains. I want my muscle tone to support my joints.

You can add me as a friend, if you'd like. I am heading back to size 8 too (starting at size 14/16). I haven't been there in 6 years, but I just got back to it yesterday. Planning my first workout today. I would love to have the company.

If you need some friends, you can friend me. I am no expert, but I am effectively losing & have a lot of weight to go, so I will be around for the winter. My diary is open to friends, so you can see what works for me. And the best of luck to you.

My goal today is to do any kind of exercise at all. By the way I am 30 weeks. I hope you meet your goal.

Mints were the best thing to keep it at bay for me.

Babybell kettlebell workout is a great workout. My buns and thighs have been sore for 2 days, & bonus- it doesn't feel that hard while you are doing it. If you are tired and don't really feel like working out, mamastrong prenatal is a nice 28 min. Toning and stretching workout. It goes by fast and is more relaxed.

I feel pretty good, my scale went back down to 165lbs. & I walked on my treadmill yesterday & did a prenatal dvd (43 min.) tonight. WooHoo!!!, come on ladies, we can do this!!

Welcome Raquel!!

Sw 166 lbs Week 5 166 lbs. Week 6 167 lbs. week 7 165 lbs. week 8 165 lbs. week 9 168 lbs. I have been really struggling to resist eating poorly. I must overcome.

I was getting a little carried away eating all the wrong things for like 4 days, & the scale went up 5 lbs. Yikes. I decided to get back to healthy eating yesterday (and did really good) the scale was 2 lbs down this morning. I knew it wasn't all real gain, but it was scary to see the scale up that much.

I think some people have added it as exercise or a food with a negative calorie count. I would search around. I breastfed and lost weight at 1800 cal. with exercising, & not eating back exercise calories. I would lose around 2 lbs/week. Good luck its a juggle.

Sw 166 lbs Week 5 166 lbs. Week 6 167 lbs. week 7 165 lbs. week 8 165 lbs. I am amazed I didn't gain this last week. I am pretty sure I ate all the wrong things.

Week 5 166 lbs. Week 6 167 lbs. week 7 165 lbs. week 8 165 lbs. So far I am really happy with my weight. Today I have been eating off track, and I having a really hard time keeping my motivation up to workout too. So I hope I can continue to maintain for the first trimester. Focus, Focus, Focus.

This is just the conversation I was wanting to hear. I am currently just 2 days from being 8 weeks pregnant, and I am trying to keep working out. I had to turn my c25k, into just walking at 4 mph, and yesterday instead of doing two sets of my upper body exercises, I only did one. I am trying to keep going with exercise,…

Congratulations! That's terrific to hear the birth was easy, and you are doing so well.

Sw 166 lbs Week 5 166 lbs. Week 6 167 lbs. week 7 165 lbs. I feel so much better about my weight this week.

Hello ladies! I am due Dec. 17th. I was in the process of losing, and doing well when I found out I was pregnant. I am trying to maintain my current weight (166 lbs) through the first trimester. Then trying to gain only 25 lbs throughout this pregnancy. I will be 42 when baby arrives. I am 5'6" and have been exercising 6…

Sw 166 lbs Week 5 166 lbs. Week 6 167 lbs. I don't know why I gained this week, I have eaten healthy 6 days of the week, & had one cheat day. I am thinking cheat days don't work the same when pregnant. Major bummer. Every time I have a cheat day I gain like 4 lbs., & spend the rest of the week trying to fight it back off.…

SW 166 lbs. 5 weeks 166 lbs. Maintaining, so far so good. Some of you are doing an amazing job. I hope I can too.

You are doing terrific!! It looks like I am 3 weeks behind you, I hope I can maintain as well have. Are you eating really healthy still, or just counting calories? Do tell.
