My name is Erin and I had 2 c-sections 14mo apart. I gained over 90 pounds between both pregnancy's and I hardly eat. I live here in Japan and people here are on serious diets! We don't have those super-sizes meals like in the states! Every morning I do the stair stepper for 20-30 min, use ab lounge 100 crunches, thigh master 20 times. During the day I am out walking with the kids, playing with them, and at night before I go to bed I do the same routine as morning. I drink about 2 litre's of Japanese Green Tea, 64oz of water, for breakfast usually just have 1-2 oranges and maybe a slice of Japanese bread. For lunch its a bento - 300 grams that has rice, veggie, and meat. For dinner its either a bento meal or buckwheat udon 200 grams, or a Japanese dinner set which includes miso soup, 100 grams rice, 100 gram meat, and salad. Here you would think I would be skinny like the Japanese! But I haven't been able to lose the weight. I have tried all those OTC diets, even been on the Okinawan diet for the past 2yrs. So I am here trying to figure out how to get rid of my flabby baby pouch, it drives me crazy. I use to weigh 140 pounds, I still need to lose about 70 pounds. In feb. 2007, I had ankle surgery - removal of hardware, turned out they now say I have RSD, so that explains why I can't run on it, or do DDR with my daughter. I can't lift weights my right wrist was sliced with machetti, abosolutely no feeling in right hand! I am limited to certain things of a good workout. :( Someone please help me!
