!!The Milky Mommy Weightloss Thread!!

[cleckner04]

Updated!! I'm too scared to even see what my BMI is. I know I'm in the obese range. But to be fair, even when I'm skinny, I'm still overweight according to the BMI chart. I was a size 8 before Emma and my m/c but I was still overweight. Made no sense. I think I'm made of lead.

 

[massacubano]

Larger boned perhaps? My half sister is the same. She could never be a size 0 but looks great at a weight I look tubby at...

I was 187 lbs in 2005... all that good Cuban food.. I was morbid.. ya severe obesity... atkins got me low.. But, I can't handle atkins anymore.

here BMI link doooo it!

now that I am "official" I feel the need to make you update that number

 

[cleckner04]

Good lord my BMI is 36.5!! Holy moly!

Just to give an idea. I was 165-170 lbs in this picture. It was in 2007. Than a year later we started trying for a baby and that's when all the weight just started piling on.

 

[m_t_rose]

Wow you must be made of lead you look great and way lighter than 165. Some people just hold their weight better than others. I have a small body frame so I look overweight even at a "normal" weight.

 

[cleckner04]

Yeah I'm fairly big boned. Big hips and big rib cage. And 5'8" so not short by any means. Although sometimes I wish I was. Right now most of my weight is in my belly. I seriously still look 5 months pregnant if I don't hold my posture right.

I'm going to get to 20 minutes on the recumbent bike if Emma cooperates tonight. I plan on working my way up to 45 minutes on it. Back when that picture was taken I'd ride it for 45 minutes a day plus walks occasionally.


You seem to be doing really well m_t!! How long did it take for you to lose 16 lbs? I swear the breastfeeding is holding my weight on.

You don't look bad at all in that picture massacubano!! Let me dig up a picture of me now..It's not good.

I think that's the downside of being short, shorter women hold it differently. But I'm still jealous and wish I was short. DH is the same height as me and he has insecurities about it so it makes me feel bad for being so tall.

 

[cleckner04]

Ok I had to search to even find this picture. There are very few pictures of me anymore because DH doesn't pick up the camera and when he does, I hate them so I delete them.

I know shes like my sister. I would guess her at around 130ish in that pic

 

[cleckner04]

Oo just saw your updated picture massacubano!! You look amazing! So pretty!

I have a hard time finding jeans to fit me. Then when I am heavier... it is even worse.. like chubby ladies are not short or something

My OH is shorter... 5'8"... so its not too bad. works out well for him. My X however was 6'1"... I hate him... lets not talk about that hehe

I have to say the second photo does not look bad to me. I think it all depends on the clothes we choose. The top suits you.. and unless you mentioned the belly I wouldn't of looked for it.

Thanks! I have trouble finding tops that don't make me look pregnant. And I'm still wearing maternity jeans. The biggest pair of jeans that I have from before baby is a 14 and they don't fit. And the majority of my clothes are an 8 from a few years ago. I don't think I'll ever get back down to that size but I'll settle for a 12! I refuse to buy bigger jeans though so I stick with the maternity ones for now.

Looked for "it" I am dense.. I didn't mean it that way... I ment you can't really see any belly...

Do you like leggings? I am living in those.. works well.. inexpensive usually.

I think once you start losing weight consider a reward of a non-maternity pant. I chose boots as my reward and I love em! just started to snow today a tiny tiny bit...

 

[cleckner04]

Oh no worries hun. I didn't take 'it' badly.

I've never tried leggings. I feel like it'd just accentuate my ASSets but not in a good way.

You girls look great! No way would I have guessed your weights correctly from those pics.

My problem is that I'm pear-shaped - all my weight goes on my ass and thighs (although I've got a belly since I had LO). So even when I get to my goal weight, my top half will be nice and slim but my bottom half will still make me look bigger. Skinny jeans are not my friend

I am the same hold all my weight in my thighs and bum. I had cellulite on my thighs even when I was 125 and in highschool.

It took me since the beginning of Oct to lose the 16 lbs but I started working really hard in the middle of Oct and have been losing a steady 2 lbs a week. Hopefully it stays steady. Although I just went to a wedding on the weekend and I wasn't careful of what I ate and I went from being 153 before the wedding to 157 today I am not even sure how thats possible

 

[cleckner04]

aww m_t. I've had times like that. Weighed myself and I've gained 5 pounds from nothing. It seems to be so hard to get off but it goes back on like it's nothing. It'll come back off this week! This just gives you more motivation.

So I never got a chance to work out last night. Emma refused to go to bed and by the time she did, I was tired too. I did a few crunches and some weights for my arms but that was it. Better luck tonight I guess!

So when do you girls want to do a weekly weigh in?

I like to see progress after a hard week... Friday

or Monday after I ate too much on the weekend I would dread it then...

I weighed in today

 

[cleckner04]

I tend to weigh myself every day. But than I get frustrated when I see no progress so I probably should start just doing it once a week.

How'd the weigh in go today massacubano?
