[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5'9" here former 12, now 4 after a lot of hard work. I lost 40lbs to get here. I was very overweight and would say I was fat.  It really was pretty gross.  There is really no excuse as to how I managed to get so fat and out of shape, other than too much eating and too little moving. I think it is a horrible example to  your children to allow yourself to get so out of shape, especially if you do not naturally have a big build and never struggled with weight until kids came along.  I feel for people born heavy, or people who's parents fed them junk as a child they really have an uphill battle.

As a former fat girl, I really hate all the excuses people make about fat. You don't do the fat person a favor by making excuses.[/quote]

How did you lose it?[/quote]

I ate less and moved more. I eat only protein in the morning and hardly any white carbs throughout the day. Due to all my exercise, I would guess I'm eating about 2100cal/day to maintain.  It took about 9 months for my metabolism to really start to kick in and crank up.  Once I got most of the egregious excess weight off and had a lot of strength training under my belt, I started to run. The running has shaped me into my dream...a nice slim build.

I just hear a lot of people overweight who have more excuses and I was one of them until I was truly digusted by what was in the mirror and how out of shape and tired I was feeling.

As to the PP, I'm not calling fat people gross. I was speaking of myself. I find it very hard to believe that there are many women out there happy with themselves as a 12.  Today's 12 is yesterday's 16 and whichever you slice and dice it, a woman in her 30s and 40s should not be that size. Your 30s and 40s should be prime time for looking and feeling your best ever.[/quote]

Good for you, but realize that we all have different issues.  I am a runner and serious exerciser, eat about 1900 calories/day, and am a size 12.  I'm 5'8" and don't have small bones but there is definitely a good fat layer there, too.  [/quote]
