Best wishes on your journey,
ABBA | Thanks, I will keep posting new update hot and heavy in the weeks to follow.
I know the pear shape is rotten with an ton of fat on it. But it's ok when it's a Firm pear shape. 
Thanks again, You've done a great job I'm truly Inspired !!

So I really is time for me to take control of my emotional eating,and get back to working out everyday for at least 2hrs a day everyday until I whip myself back in to shape.
Thanks so much for your Support! |
Hi there.
I can truly under the pear shape syndrome..My hips was around 47inches..when i first started or shld i say after I gave birth..it took me a very long time..to get down to current abt 43inch..but would love to get back having around 36 to 38 inch hips..only a true spoon-ER would understand that it is easier to lose weight on the top half rather than the bottom half..and my top half has gone down quite a bit but not the bottom half..and honestly sometimes i get demoralized by thinking that I look like an alien but have to keep working out and telling myself that I will get to that proportionate shape soon..good luck..and keep me updated regarding the turbo jam..might be thinking of investing in one of those...:-D

Rep Power: 2580 | | | Hey Need2Lose! We are the same age, both mothers, both pear shapes (though I'm a lot bigger then you, lol)... And 2007 was my crazy year from hell. We seem to have a bit more in common as well... Just wanted to let you know another person can relate and we are all here for you!!! You can do it!!! Taking control of your life is hard when you are used to taking care of others, and while coming out of a series of tragidies... I'm still learning! You gotta start some where!
Hope2

Rep Power: 0 | | | Your journey reminds me so much of my own. I just turned 30 and I was weighing 194 (I am now down to 183). I had never been so big without being pregnant. My Grandma died in Oct. of 2006 and I went into a serious state of depression (she was my life). I did manage to get down to 152 and gained it all back. Now I'm trying to take it one day at a time. I'm currently doing Atkins and hopefully I'll make it to my goal of 145. I am also the mother of 5 children. Good Luck and PLEASE keep me posted on your progress.

I have only had a chance to do 20min & 40min workouts, So not as long as I would have like to workout in the past week because of all the unexpected things that happened in the past two weeks.
But this Week and beyond I will be sticking to a 1 1/2 - 2 hours a day workout regimen. I will keep you posted. Quote:

(oh, I type fast and spell really bad, sorry, just the way I was made!lol) | I'm so sorry to hear that 07' was a pretty bad year. Same age That's cool! And you know we have to get out sexy back by the time we turn 30. I'll be 30 on September 25th I will be in shape by then. We really need to gain control of our life, and learn not to let stress get the best of us... Quote:

Q | I'm sorry to hear that. I Hope you can work through your loss I'm still trying daily to work thru mind. I'm just not going to do it with food anymore.
It hurts... My grandmother would always say don't cry for me when I'm gone,I know it will hurt but you have to go on living your life even when I'm gone.
(I would cry when she said that!)
In all honesty I thought I would never have to live without Her. I guess I was living in a fantasy world, but Reality is hard to deal with...
I wish you the best!
