Hooray for you, Dagny! A Corgi would be both my incentive AND my reward. Cardigan Corgi's are big dogs in a small package, and they need to be exercised. A Corgi would be a constant reminder to stay with my exercise program, and the doggie love I'd get in return would be the reward!

5'9" 175 I've been heavier, but I've never been this out of shape a week before a 150 mile bike ride. That saddle is gonna cut me right in half.

Way to go Dagny!

Radar, the only way I've ever been able to ditch belly fat is through cycling and it's still the last thing to go. good luck bro.

(And I have fun explaining each charm to people who ask....there's a stick of butter (.25 pounds), a bag of flour (5 pounds), and a bar of chocolate (the calorie free kind I can actually have around!)

That's a very cool idea! I like it! :thumpsup:

I'm 5'8 about 150... floating between 150 and 155 which is fine. A while back it was floating between 155 and 160 and moving up and I was getting to need new pants... so I had to put a stop to that, because I thought it was too much, and because I'm too damn cheap to buy all new clothes.

But the thing is I was about 125 up until 1998--the original pencil-necked geek!--and then by 2000 I was pushing 160. It's probably a natural age-related progression and I was so skinny to start that even at 160 I can't possibly be considered pudgy--but it was still scary to put on that much that quickly.

Just can't you use metric system

I'm 176 cm and 70 kg 98-76-96

LabRat · 08-15-2004, 11:15 AM

a little late to get in on the conversation, but I was on vacation for a couple weeks...

Pre-baby = 5'2" ~130lbs, comfortable in a size 6 jean. I was doinglots of running (4-5mi 4-5 days a week) and some swimming & biking, even completed a sprint triathlon. 20 months post baby = 5'2'' ~132lbs, comfortable in a size 10 jean

I now only have time to run 2-3mi 3-4 days a week. No one's told my ass i'm not breastfeeding anymore so it can lose the extra fat stores. And yes, i quit eating for two a LONG time ago. No amount of pilates has been able to get rid of my new "baby-belly" either (as my hubby affectionately calls it).

Anyone else care to share how procreating has changed their bodies? Please? I'd feel a whole lot better... And does #2 (or more)do even more damage???

oh, and my husband is still gaining his 'sympathy' weight' as i type this!

Pete still has a cute little buddha from number two. I think its pretty sexy when everything else is tightened up.

Breast feeding really helps if anyone is still in that timeframe. I put up some serious sympathy numbers but the bike didn't approve.

Dearest LAbRat--
Girl, I hate to be the one to tell ya, but yes. It does seem to take a greater toll after you have #2. I've had two kids--I came back after the first one OK (don't get me wrong--I went to a DietWorkshop to shed the last 20) but after #2---all SORTS of things happened...it's too ugly for general viewing. I'll PM you as to not gross anyone out. You have my sympathy (BUT! The good news is that those little babies are WORTH it!

Each of my little "blessings" has added an intractable 7 lbs. to my pre-baby weight. Good thing we stopped at 3 kids, or I'd be big as a barn! Whenever my kids refer to my derriere or thighs in less than flattering terms, I remind them of the root cause.

Uryoces · 08-16-2004, 03:57 PM

Hmm. Well, 6'4" and 350 lbs. I've changed my diet due to type 2 diabetes and just need to get motivated to excercise. I've been losing weight due to the diet change, no carbs except for oatmeal in the morning, but it's not enough. I look like a mexican wrestler at this point.

Y tu perro pequeno tambien!!! Grrr!!!

SouthOfNoNorth · 08-17-2004, 12:20 PM

Male, 5'-10" and 155lbs. I actually used to weigh less before I started working out, which I do around 4 times a week now. Sparring helps, it's the hardest workout I've ever had and I've done endurance running before.

Lady Sidhe · 08-17-2004, 03:41 PM

female, 5'8", 104 lbs---I have little bones, ok?

And let's see...I can hold a two-and-a-half year old in one arm, her portable bag of toys, my purse, a couple of bags of groceries, and my keys on the other...I believe the technical term for that is "mommy bench press."

Is that 'little' as in TINKERTOYS??!!! I have two friends who are 5' 1" and 5'2" and 100-105 lbs, and they are both SKINNY.

I'd need to see a photo to believe it. 5'8" and 104 sounds inconsistent with life, let alone childbirth.
