Among all the crazy things that gave happened to me in the past 9 months, i have gained 40+ pounds!!!! That's NOT a typo!!! I was 115-120 pounds now good god! What has happened to me?!?! I am sitting here looking at me unattractive figure (to me) fdh loves the breast and arse and I'm thinking...this is adding to my unhappiness!!!

Tomorrow I'm starting to walk (can't run I have a really bad knee) but at 8am...I'm walking as far as I can!!!

Life needs to change from the inside but also from the outside!!!

Yes, it is a longer process to take off the pounds than to put them on!! I just want to feel good again when I'm naked! lol

me too!! I don't even know how the hell it happened. I don't eat more, I still move around a bunch.. I think I have been hitting the wine more often though.... Anyway, not a tremendous weight gain -- 8-10 lbs -- but it seriously went straight. to. my. ass. What gives?!! Just last night I was telling my husband that my ass has gotten so huge that it actually bounces when I run.. I was joking about making an ass bra for jogging! Ugh. count me in on the weight loss club.

I'm with ya! I eat the same or less (BM issues take my appetite away completely). Still move around pretty much the same just a little slower cause of my knee...

I also don't know how the hell it happened either. I am thinking it's all stress related! Though I am not the type to eat when stressed, it still affects my weight.

Wow!!! That sounds like heaven for my FDH taste buds! I'm don't eat sweets at all, though I did at one point in time. Actually, used to have dessert first!

I'm a good cook but a horrible baker so my hats off to you.

I think its a combination of a lot of things... one, I went from runnning around, staying out late, going to parties, working all the time to taking two classes at university and otherwise being a stay at home stepmom and decided i should probably learn how to cook lol. two, LOTS of stress. three, this PCOS nonsense kicked in pretty hardcore last year. and well, i have lung problems, theyre just real sensitive and not really healthy.. like i have chronic bronchitis and when i stopped runnging around, being outside or in different places alot, I started getting respiratory infections all the time, with all the stress, i started smoking again (BBBAAAD iwishyouwould!!!!)... seems like im always sick; i always end up on a bunch of different meds and alot of the time they cause weight gain or i just eat comfort food. I take lithium too, and with all the stress i wanted to up my dose and that causes weight gain. God likes to poke at me. lol. I just need to change my lifestyle really. I need to take kiddo to the park instead of an indoor museum... I need to get outside and quit smoking and just get active again. I guess all that is kinda depressing.. I just need to change stuff around and get myself healthy.

Yep, 20 lbs for me too. I had a "talk" w/myself about this last night and decided it's time to fight back also. I'm in on the club. Wonder if we could check in w/each other for moral support/accountability?

OK....here's what the talk w/myself came up with...I will shut my door, do my exercises and not answer the phone, questions, nothing. It will be my time. The world is just going to have to learn to do w/out me for 45 minutes whether they like it or not. I am setting these boundaries for myself and family, no exceptions. Whatever it is, it will just have to wait until I'm done. I have a feeling that the world will still be just fine, lol! Blum 3

Woo Hoo, I'm feeling better already!

The woman over the weight loss clinic says stress causes us to hold weight... I cant remember the exact terms but stress *wonder if it has anything to do with stepkids* makes us gain weight.... hmmm.... !

i have gained about 30 lbs since meeting dh (8 yrs ago) size 2 to a size 10..... actually a size 6 would be good for me (5'9"), i was way too skinny..... but this size 10 shit is BS ~~ i HATE it... the boobs are kinda nice, but the gut depresses me..

my wii should be here in the next day or two... i'm hoping i can at least do that and lose a few pounds... i have never had to work out, so this is all foreign to me and i can't seem to get the swing of it.... but i sure do hate being fat!

I def have a problem, but with no health insurance I refuse to go to the doctor. It's getting worse no better and I'm getting worried. The only time I was over weight was when I was prego! Now, I have no excuse! It's just happened.

I believe it's related and attributed to stress!!! I'm 5'4 and weight 160 and am climbing daily!!! Not good at all.

I was on the scale last month I was 145 now I'm 160!!!

:-((((((
