See, I'm totally jealous of that fact. I'm short and I really don't mind being short, but any weight gain is obvious. You can weigh more when you're taller and get away with it I think. When you don't have anywhere for the weight to go but out, you're stuck. Oh well. My 6 year old son will be taller than me in another couple of years. It's funny, he's nearly up to my shoulders already. He's going to be a tall dude.
I am only 5'1. When I gain weight it goes to my face and my thighs. It used to go to my boobs but after child bearing no luck with that now. I've been exercising, taking vitamins, and watching what I eat and all that's done is basically maintained the weight that I am at. I recently bought Herbalifes Total Control herbs. They are supposed to boost metabolism, help with energy, and control cravings promoting weight loss. I guess they work as far as metab and energy goes. No weight loss yet. My boys are going to tower over me. Maybe they'll give me piggy-back rides.
Congratulations btw Interval. 22 pounds is a huge deal. You've given up a lot to do it too. Very awesome for you!
I have to kinda laugh about it because I'm a nut on my treadmill. I dance and groove while walking/running. When I run I can feel my bumper jiggling. I keep thinking I'm really working it but really I'm just irritating it. lol
I feel pretty good today actually. My husband just informed me a little while ago that our tax return came and our debt is GONE!!! Tonight we are celebrating without the worries of adding more debt and we will finally able to start saving for our down payment on a new home. I'm really excited about all this. We are maxed out here with our space. My boys need a place to be able to play (playroom) so they can make their creations and won't have to tear them down before bed. Their rooms are small and very dangerous to leave toys out if they have to get up in the middle of the night. Currently we just found out we have a sleep walker. Okay I've rambled but to get back on topic this move will probably be good for my figure.
That's awesome! Congrats! That's definitely exciting news! I sooo know what you mean about needing more room. We're in the process of saving for a bigger house too. I mean, our house is nice and all, but there's just not enough room for three rapidly growing kids, and our house seriously resembles a toy store. Every room in the house has been taken over by the munchins' toys, books, games, you name it. I want a playroom, or a finished basement that we can convert into a playroom for them and have all of their things there.
Ever notice kiddos are like stuff - they'll expand to occupy all the available space no matter how much space? *puzzled* Work v. Time is similar...
I love my husbands bumper. He has rock hard cheeks. He's been dieting, exercising, and lost 20 pounds so far. He still has a tire but his rear, legs, and calves are very nice.
