[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much do you weigh and how tall are you?

I also have 3 kids (11, 9 and 5) and it took a lot longer to lose the weight from kid 3. And I am still probably 20 pounds heavier than when I got married and 10 pounds heavier than when I started having kids. But I am 5’7” and 145 and am 42 years old. I don’t really have it in me to heavily diet anymore. I walk a lot and don’t look really overweight so I just stopped caring. [/quote]

This is OP and I look overweight, I think in no small part because I’m short and busty with wide-ish shoulders.  I’m still an hourglass - my waist is smaller than my bust and hips, which are the same circumference - but it’s big (like 35 inches). I never had a tiny waist but it was 28-30 inches before, after second kid.  I’m 5’3 and 175 pounds.  I know DCUM will say it’s impossible that I was thin/small at 145 at this height but I really and truly am exceptionally muscular.  Even now, I am not flabby, my mass has just expanded :sob:

All of that to say, I look okay, but I would feel so much more comfortable in my body even twenty pounds less than I am now.

Does your doctor tell you that you need to lose weight?

Because maybe otherwise, you should start loving the body that helped you make 3 wonderful children? Maybe it knows you need the extra weight to be healthy so it keeps it on? You’re not eating any junk, you’re exercising.. so maybe this is just your body letting you know what it needs in order to do its job. Stop fighting it and put your focus on something else.[/quote]
