[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah of course … why would child bearing in itself cause you to gain weight? [/quote]

I have no idea but people post this here all the time. “Oh you’re a mom, you shouldn’t expect to go back to your pre pregnancy weight?” And it’s like…why not?

I say this as a [b]mom to a five year old[/b] who has been at pre baby weight and measurements since my kid was 1.5. [/quote]

See this is where we differ.  By the time my oldest was 5 I had three more kids.

Sure if I had one kid my body would look great.  But instead I have an amazing body that produces children easily which I don't take for granted.  I weigh now a bit more than before all 4 of my kids but my body doesn't look the same or carry weight in the same areas as it did before having kids.  I love my body as does my DH and my kids.  You should probably spend more time embracing bodies of all shapes and sizes instead of pushing your goals on others.

Yes, my body can also produce children. Go us, I guess?

Amazing how this thread has struck a nerve with some women. If you want to be the weight you are, and you feel good, that’s great! This is more about offering hope to the moms that want to lose weight. [/quote]

Ha right.  Yes, very supportive.  :shock: [/quote]
