A friend of mine had twins two years ago. Trust me when I tell you that you won't have time to be worrying about your own weight! I polled mothers of twins for her shower for advice, and several said "Keep a camera handy and tke pictures all the time, because you probably won't remember much of their first year otherwise!"

thanks for all the great advise guys ((Hugs)).. i know the weight will just melt away when i am chasing my babies.. and i will for sure keep the camera ready for the pics .. i am greatful i took so many of my little boy when he was growing up, now, i look back on all of it and think 'wow, he sure grew up fast '...


i think the whole weight thing bothers every expectant mother every now and then, fortunately for some of us it comes off naturally, while others struggle because of one thing or another.

see, in my family i have a history of high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes ( type 1 and 2).. and ( knock on wood) i have yet to get any of those ... that is why i am having to come up with things to get my bod back in pre-preggers weight ASAP so i do not have to worry about all that.



thanks again guys...
PS if some of you have home made weight tricks, like food recipes and drinks that would be great if you could share them.

Your pregnancy weight gain reminds me, lovingly, of what my mom always "bragged" about. With me and my brother, she only gained about 20 pounds (and this was Waaay Back in the Day) by eating fruits, veggies, protein. No sweets and very little fat.. Not that they even knew much about that stuff in the Dark Ages, but she always made me think she was ahead of her time on keeping fit and healthy. I guess it also helped that she was "no bigger than a minute" anyway.

I've never looked at any labels, but my guess is that a lot of the "diet" stuff on the market contains caffeine, but in any case, my bet is that with twins and pets, you'll be melting off that "baby fat" in no time. Trust me, I had a weight problem my whole life..diet pills and all..but it always came back once I stopped them. I, (unfortunately thru stress) I now weigh what I should have weighed as a young adult. I no longer believe in diet. I use moderation. I eat what I want, but stop when I feel a bit full, drink tons of water and excercise. Ain't always fun, but it works for me.
