FYI – Cheesy is good in my opinion : )

It is SO unfortunate that women gain weight when they’re in a relationship. NOT fair. As for the baby weight – I have total faith that you can do it! The support from the other McFatty bloggers is SO important for me! I hope you find some comfort in that too! Good luck to you!

Ugh yucky muffin top…I actually weighted less after I gave birth than what I started with but my body is totally yucky: my boobs are saggy, my insides decided that they actually liked hanging out of my jeans and refuse to go back where they belong and stretch marks don´t seem to be disappearing so I guess I should also join McFatty Mondays!

Lillian: Weight watchers is great. I haven’t started back again- but I plan to soon! Diet pills are ALL bad. Don’t even start that! I’m sure you can do it- if I can!!

I’ve always been a fatty, too. I love pasta & I learned to eat away my feelings with it. At 17 I was 198 pounds, and 5’7. I didn’t want to be the fat girl when I went to college so I went on a strict diet with lots of exercising and I lost 30 pounds in 3 months, just in time to move into the dorms. Luckily, I didn’t gain the Freshman 15, either. And then after about 6 months I realized that my “dieting” wasn’t healthy. I wasn’t anorexic and I wasn’t bulemic but I was something (if that makes sense). Eventually the doctor classified it as ED-NOS, basically an eating disorder that doesn’t fit into any of the rigid categories. Shortly after that I met my husband, got pregnant, gained 60 freaking pounds and ended up weighing above 230 (I eventually stopped looking & listening when they weighed me at the doctor’s office). Sebastian is 18 months old now and I have most of the weight. I’m down to like 220 now. I really want to lose the weight but I’m really afraid I’ll get back into my old ways. I was such a grouch back then because lack of food all the time made me unhappy and often gave me headaches. How can you be a good mom like that? I have 19, literally, bottles of diet pills in my kitchen cabinet from my old days but I’m afraid to use them.

I’m very happy for the weight you’ve already lost! I’m sure you’ll continue to do great!

WOW! Kirsten: that neighbor has BALLS. lol. I cannot believe someone ask that. That’s right up there with my pet peeve “How much did THAT cost!?” People are special.

Isn’t it exciting losing weight after a baby? It’s so much easier than regular old losing weight. In the few weeks after Mary and Lila were born, I had night sweats BAD and they were gross, but awesome for weight loss. I’d weigh myself at night and then again the morning because it was like watching some freak science experiment…4 pounds a night! Yes, that’s right. I was retaining THAT much water at the end of my pregnancy.

Weight is stupid. Today I got home from work and my neighbor (she’s in her late 50′s, and usually a pretty nice lady) was chatting with me as I unloaded M&L from the car, and she said, “So, have you lost all that baby weight yet? What do you weigh?” Um, HELLO?! Who asks that question?!

Emily, Walking a twin stroller with Hudson on your back absolutely HAS to burn calories.
For 2 days following riding the bike with Hudson on the back for less than an hour, my thighs were burning. It may just be because I’m way out of shape, but I’m convinced his extra weight had alot to do with it.

Good Luck Emily!!! You can do itttttttt. I need to find some motivation. I’ve been horrible about the weight loss lately. I’m only 12lbs away from pre pregnancy weight but it still seems SO FAR away.

Tiffany- I’m only all stoked to do this because I’ve lost so much doing nothing but sitting on my ass. Once I have to work for it- I’ll probably fail. lol. But, I do plan to try to walk with the twins in the stroller & Hudson on my back once I get the OK. Walking while pushing a stroller and carrying 22 pounds on your back has to burn calories!

And Elle: OMG! You are too sweet. <3
