Middle-aged fat lady in her underwear
My latest pics are up. I got brave and went for the bikini shots. At
least I feel comfortable that no-one is downloading these as internet porn! http://www.bodyforlife-tracker.com/s...e.cfm?id=10797 A few words: the bulging abdomen in the side-view has a lot to do with separated abdominal bands damaged in the c-section. Apparently this is only really correctable with surgery. It's not a financial priority for me so I'll just have a bulging tummy. There's also a fair amount of excess skin associated with having lost 75 pounds and it mostly lands on my lower abs because of gravity. It also shows up as thick puckered skin on my thighs and a bit of an apron over my knees. All I can say is there's mercy in the fact that I'm usually dressed. I look perfectly fine in clothes. As for the rear shot... well... it's slowly retracting. Very slowly. But it *is* getting better. I've gotten to the point in my weight loss where it comes from my butt and upper thighs; sort of the Holy Grail of fat loss for a pear-shaped woman. I'm between 25 and 26% body fat and the excess is all stored at the top of my thighs or in my butt. I think this just makes me a normal woman at this point. I'm not aiming to be a fitness model, but I do dream of someday hitting 23%. It's fun noting the difference between weeks 117 and 16. What a difference 100 weeks makes! My regimen is weight-lifting three times a week and doing some sort of cardio three times a week and eating a diet roughly balanced in macronutrients that is vaguely like the Zone Diet or the South Beach Diet or the Glycemic Index Diet... in other words, I cut out junk carbs and try to make my fats come from seeds or nuts or fish. My regimen is designed to be long-term sustainable - not a diet, but a new way of life. As I've been doing it consistantly for 27 months I think I might be on to something. Dally 244/170/165 |

You're looking great, Dally! I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be with all the work you've put into your diet and exercise. I especailly admire your ability to stick with the exercise. My exercise seems to come and go with the seasons. I'm in one of the off-seasosng Beverly |

I'm giving swimming a try this winter. I figure I'm going to have to move my body in deliberate and intense ways on a daily basis for the rest of my life. I may as well find a sport I enjoy. You've already found one [biking] so I have every reason to believe you can find others! Consider Jenn's fun with volleyball and Julianne's tennis and Martha's skiing and Barbara's skating... there are a million ways to have fun actively. Maybe you could take your daughter rollerblading at an indoor rink? It's be fun for both of you. I consider exercise to be 'maintenance for owners of human bodies.' It's rather on par with flossing my teeth: just something I've got to do if I want to keep it (my body) or them (my teeth.) For me it was harder to integrate the "eat less" part than the "exercise more" part. I *like* moving my body. Sadly, I also like eating! Dally |
