[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^that was my quip, but in all seriousness, what bothers you about 145? Is it the way your close fit? Is it fay accumulation in a certain spot? It may not be excessive related. This may be something you need invasive or non invasive procedures for.[/quote]

Op - I was consistently 135 before having kids. Then I had 3 kids in 5 years. Have never gotten back down to 135. When I got married I was 125. So it’s sort of depressing to be 145 now. [/quote]

You’re never getting to 135 without extreme measures. You had 3 kids. Your body’s natural set point being only 10 lbs above your normal pre baby weight is entirely normal. Our bodies change drastically after kids. [/quote]

Op - yea I think in order to do it I have to do serious running. My sister also has had kids but she is a marathon runner. She averages 40+ miles a week running when she isn’t training. Does 2-3 marathons a year. She is about 135. [/quote]

Running is only necessary for someone who either 
1 - Wants to improve their cardio health
2 - Eats excessive amounts of carbs or alcohol, or other junk foods. 
3 - Want to be a competitive runner

Running is for burning off excess food intake. Watch what you eat (limiting carbs and junk) and you won't need cardio much at all if any. Muscle is where you get toned and look good. Which is why I posted the comparison pics of the girl. It's not the weight OP, it's the look. [/quote]
