Our Crazy General Rambling Chat Thread(Men in Leotards Welcome!)

I was gonna say this in that other thread but I LOVE your cheekbones. You have such defined pretty cheekbones. Your very pretty! Is your hair naturally curly?

I'm gonna post some of DH and I over the years in a second.

Gosh... :blush: aren't you nice.

Yes, my hair is naturally curly. I would have thought LO would have ended up with it but not so far- though she does have red hair- but it's a strawberry blonde red, not an deep red/auburn... genetics:shrug:


Oh oh oh.. post some pics.. I want to see...

And yes, Bill the Science guy!!! Science nerds unite!
 
Okay, here is Dh and I the early years. :haha: This was May 2002. We had been together 5 months here and it's DH's senior prom(I was 15, he's 18)

Fast forward 5 years to summer of 2007. I'm 20, he's 23.

Us comparing our giant bellies towards the end of my pregnancy. I think I had Emma the week after this was taken. Early August 2009. Dh gained nearly as much as I did with the pregnancy. :haha: I'm 22 here and DH is 25.

And I really don't have many of DH and I in recent days. So here is me and captain jack sparrow, my second husband. :rofl: From the weekend. I'm now 25. :D

And might I add, 2007 was a very good year for me looks-wise. :rofl: I don't think I'll ever be that thin again. I'm trying but I'm still a good 20-25 lbs heavier.

What nice pics.. you guys were so young in the first pic! You're pretty hawt yourself.. and your baby is sooooo cute!

I'm with ya..


I am struggling.. i think it is my age.. I am 35.. and I was 34 or 35 in all those pics too btw...but yeah, I don't think I will EVER be super skinny again, but I will just be content with "shapely" at this point.

How long did it take you to get off that baby weight? I am trying to give myself a break. I have literally lost NO baby weight.
 
I seriously didn't lose a thing after having her. Not even the 7 lbs 14 oz I should've lost from her. :rofl: I gained 45 lbs while pregnant with her and 20 lbs while pregnant the first time(mc) both back to back so I was 65 lbs heavier by the time I had Emma. I think I was a bit in denial because I didn't even try to lose the weight until after her first birthday. I saw the pictures of myself and was shocked. I was still wearing maternity jeans too. :blush: So in November 2010 I decided to start doing something about it. It has taken me since than to lose 52 lbs. So nearly back down to my pre-miscarriage weight finally. Myfitnesspal is what helped. I was eating far too many sodium packed foods. And I started exercising every day. Recumbent bike, elliptical and walking 30-60 minutes a day. I went from 240 lbs down to 188 lbs right now. (my goal is 170 but I'm 5'8" so fairly tall and I'm not a tiny girl bone wise either) I'm finally not wearing maternity jeans anymore although I'm not even close to my pre-pregnancy jean size. I'm not sure I ever will be.

Your LO is still very young. I didn't even give thought to losing weight when Emma was that young. I was too busy cluster feeding her at that point. :haha:
 
Ooo Just found one with DH, Emma, and I at disneyland. This was a little over a month ago. DH is wearing a shirt that says 'papa woody erection company' :rofl: The guy taking our picture with minnie later in that day made minnie cover up DH's shirt with her big ears when standing next to DH. I don't think the photographer approved. :haha:

Yep... same boat.. in every way. I am also 5'8 and weigh around what you did. If I was your age I would go for 170 but shit.. I'd go for 180 to 200... I would be okay with that.

I know I have bigger things to worry about but I am .... vain.

I think we are all vain in one way or another. :D I would be pleased as punch to get to 180 really. That was my original goal. My biggest upset is that my jeans size doesn't seem to be dropping.(I'm a size 16:() I have really big hips but I think they must've spread a lot from the pregnancy and aren't going back. In my 2007 pictures that I just posted, I was a size 8! And I had a c-section so I know the actual birth had nothing to do with the hips spreading. Being a woman sucks sometimes. DH can eat what he wants for the most part and he stays thin. I eat a burger and gain 5 lbs. :dohh:

:thumbup: Same here. I can literally drink protein shakes and guzzle down water for a week and lose 5 pounds and then can eat bad for a day or two and gain evey single bit back.

I also have zumba fit here but I am just getting to the point that Corrine will let me do housework, don't know how I am going to fit in exercise.
 
Here is me and DH after we got married, heading off to our honeymoon in the trailer.

Good thinking. :thumbup: I bet you got yourself a fine wine for the honeymoon like Boone Farms or Mad Dog...... mmmmmmm.....that there is some good celebratin.
 
I do have to say that a wedding veil comes in handy for hiding flaws like big arms and extra chins.. wish I could wear one every day! ;)

Everyone looks so pretty... that wedding photo is just lovely!
 
Ugh! I hate typing out posts and BnB stops working. :dohh: I do the same thing every night it seems like bc BnB shuts down the same time each night for a few minutes. Does that happen for anyone else?


Anyways, lisaf- I love your wedding picture!! You look so beautiful! I swear I had the worst photographer at mine and every picture is crap. :dohh: I spy dimples on you!! So pretty! I'm trying to decide who your LO looks like more and I can't really decide. A good mixture of both I think! Also, I'm very jealous of your nose piercing! I've wanted to get mine done for years but DH keeps telling me NO. :(:lol:
 
I am glad it isn;t just me that it dies on every night....


I think her baby looks like her.She should post the pic she had on her avatar before this one of Daniel. I think he looks like her.
 
Ok, I'm glad it's not just my computer screwing up with BnB either! SO annoying and somehow I always manage to catch the 'dead' time at the most inconvenient moments. :dohh:
