  • I am 5'10 and my goal weight is 150. I consider that my ideal. I have been as low as 145, and I think that looked good, but holy effort! I was 150 when I got pregnant, and I thought it was healthy, not skinny, but slender. THen I got pregnant and got to 205, rapidly dropped to 170 2 weeks after giving birth, dropped to 155…
  • Now your second statement I can totally agree with! And thats how Ive taken it too. You still have to work out, you deal with it. Ive gotten over being depressed about the fact I cant work out as much as I want to. Good come back :-) My vow: Not to be a fat mom, so far, so good!

  • You sound like me about the time thing, except I have 2x2 yr olds who need their mommy too. I feel for you. My gym also opens at 5:30...work at 7 etcetc and then I feel like crap for the rest of the day...
  • To those of you with "no time" commentary, are any of you full time working moms of small kids? Because seriously. Before kids I worked out 2hrs, 4 times a week. Now Im lucky to get 3x45minutes in. I truly dont have time to get the huge results from lots of time spent in the gym before I had my twins. Sure, I can…
