spin of varrus... Follow

I'm thinking about buying a swimsuit and starting swimming again, it's meant to be a great way for whales me to exercise .

Sadly, I can't find anything that looks good, I think I might go for a tankini, although my boobs mean I'd have to have something underwired and strapped tighter than an asylum inmate in a straightjacket, and if I find a top I like, I can't find shorts to match .

And I want shorts, not panties . I have a big ***** and the more that is covered the better .

I sympathise Katie. I'm sunbathing in my bikini but thats not in the open public and I need to lose a few pounds.

I love shorts, I bought 4 pairs for the summer of various colours, along with some short skirts and 3/4 lengths. Classic Birkenstocks have come out the closet

Fatal, I use tankinis and the like for running. They hold me fairly well. Have you been to a sports shop that stock a large range?

For an old cnut, I think I still cut quite a dash, wether in knee length pantaloons in the summer...




Or a quarter inch of rubber in the more wintery months...



But then again I don't eat **** food out of buckets and I get a lot of exercise.

I wonder if varus would take me out on his boat?

Like he could afford me...../lol

It was more him saying that Mrs. Obama is obese that got me on the train of thought about bathing suits and how I cringe when I walk buy them in a store.

I've gotten to the point now, where if I can go to the pool 9 months preggers and feel ok, I just *might* be doing good by the end of summer when I can go back and swim again. I'll never be able to do a bikini ( no matter how good my body has looked over the years I just never felt right in those) but I'm thinking my next swim suit purchase is going to be a nice deep red one piece.

Fatal is a chick? No way!

Double bubble ><

Meh, I think I'm doing ok. That being said, I have made a pact with myself never to get heavier than a 125lbs and so far I have stayed below it. I am getting into my gym routine and finding that I quite like it.

Now, if only I could stop snacking. :(

I like cheese and crackers. I'd eat it every night if I could.

Oh, and beer. Sweet beer. (Is that a snack?)

Cheese is my big weakness too! I'm not sure what diet plan you are on, but for me, I found that ditching block cheese in favour of foods with cheese where I could calculate the calories worked . Also, in the uk, you can buy net bags with 5 or 6 tiny sticks of cheese in, I used to get those, and have one stick a day and slowly nibble it .

Beer has some negative effects in the alchohol unit (again, I'm speaking purely from the vantage point of weight watcherss) but you can generally make space for it by stocking up on 0 point veg .

Do you follow a particular diet plan, or is it more just a general intention to lose weight ?

I'm rubbish with structured excercise, but me and my daughter have a system where we put on a cheesy 80's CD and dance for the duration. My daughter is 6, and skinny as a rake for her age anyway. I do know she eats well though, so I tend not to worry , and she seems to enjoy laughing at me making an idiot of myself with my attempts at dancing . (Imagine a drunk hippo, that's been smoking pot, and has it's feet encased in cement blocks, and you're halfway to the horror!)

I actually think it's harder to maintain a weight than lose it, a lot of the time, because often you've not had time to build up a structure of how you eat, and what your weak points are . You seem very on top of it though in recognising cheese and beer , so I'm sure you'll do well .

Tare is hawt and I can honestly say she doesnt need to worry about her looks in a bathing suit
And Niobia, when you live in an area where we've already had the real feel index of 102, you get very brave and go to the pool. Plus with 2 boys who love to swim, I'm just too busy to care. I can look around the pool and see a lot of people who make me feel good about myself even as preggo as I am. My weight this pregnancy has honestly been amazing, and while it's now stretched out a little bit, I didnt even bother getting a maternity suit this time around. Plus, I figure it will be a good reason for me to buy me my little red suit when my tummys retoned in a few months

Ahhh, but the exercise. I'm looking forward to the time where I can actually go swimming by myself again and do my laps. I miss zoning out and just swimming without worrying about the boys. In due time. In due time.

Baby carrots = best snack.
