It is difficult to answer because we&#8217;re all built differently.  Plus, not all pounds are the same!  A pound of muscle takes up less space in your body (and in your jeans!) than a pound of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When someone says, "Now I know why I used to be skinny, too, I was burning all those calories chasing my kids," a small voice inside me yearns to receive some credit for the fact that I have to work HARD darnit to take off baby pounds, and not just once, FOUR times!  I should be a freakin' pro at weight loss by now!  Yes, I have learned a lot, and yes, I do take the weight off, at least by 1 year post partum, but I sweat and strain for every pound I lose!  I WISH it were as easy as just "chasing after my kids" - SHEESH!  Anyway, no matter what people think, or what excuses they want to make for themselves, the reward, for me, is not in the compliments, it is in the satisfaction I feel when I put on my pre-4th-baby favorite pair of Joe's Jeans!  My reward is the 9 miles I can run, because I am grateful for a healthy body that I can discipline and train, a body that has delivered four healthy children into this world and that gets me around in life and allows me to enjoy every blessing in each present day!]]></description>
