[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had twins and while I lost the weight, my stomach will never be the same. [/quote]

I had 3 kids but after the middle one at 9 lb 6 oz kid at 22.5 inches and my stomach will never be the same either.[/quote]
Yep. My first was a ten pounder, 23 inches long and due to a tumor I didn’t know I had, he was mostly on one side of my abdomen. I have a lopsided, stretch marked stomach that’s not going to be fixed without surgery. I’m so glad that women like OP who have standard issue pregnancies know everything.

Not enough eye roll emojis for the likes of OP. [/quote]

Lol no one is saying pregnancy doesn’t change your body. The point is if you want to lose weight and do the same thing a woman who doesn’t have children does, you can lose weight. Even though you’ve had children.

Some of you are so defensive and there’s just no reason. If you are happy with an extra 10, 20, 30 pounds that is great. But if you actually want to lose weight there isn’t anything preventing you from doing it. [/quote]

Wait so I totally misread your OP and you didn't say there: "it’s mostly life style factors stemming from parenting, such as not having time to work out and eat right"?  A quote which seems to acknowledge that (1) there are actually factors related to having children that make losing weight difficult and (2) it doesn't actually hold true for everyone (only "mostly" lifestyle factors).  So what you really mean is "Myth Busting - Having children doesn't make you gain weight if you're genetically lucky (parenting quite likely does make you gain weight but I'll judge you for it)" and that sounds less like a myth and kind of like what all of us expected.  :roll:[/quote]
