Do Your Hips Bother You A Lot ?

"One Moment On Your Lips, Forever On Your Hips"

I must have heard this expression hundreds of time over the course of my life.

I was "blessed" with wide hips.....LOL. My grandma used to say to me that I would have been more popular in the "old days" because it wasn't in fashion anymore. No, what was "in" then was a body like Twiggy.Photo

Low carb diet, more natural foods, less sauces and white flour. Exercise wherever you can...stair instead of elevator...don't look for close parking but less cars and you walk farther.

My body has changed so much since having 5 kids. I've been doing Zumba and Body Blast classes and using the treadmill and elliptical...I've lost 8 pounds since Christmas. It's slow, but it's working, so I'm happy! :)

That video makes me tired and sore just watching it. Actually I have been stronger lately and our weather is good so I have been trying to regain some lost muscle. Lol...not sure how I am doing yet but hopefully the weather will hold out till I can drop a little of my excess weight. Best of wishes.

A perfect reminder for the holidays to get going now and keep it fun....love on our bodies to better health. I have to work on keeping weight on but that hula hoop is something we should have all kept doing....to better health and fitness!

I would definitely like to be a bit more in shape than I am, and yes I hold my weigh on my butt, gut, hips, and thighs... although I don't mind my hips so much ;) ......I like to exercise on the treadmill (which has a slight incline) and my stepper (adding 5 lbs of weights onto my ankles and wrists). Great lens... Blessed :)

I have always been overweight, and ironically I just said to my wife I was thinking of getting a bowl of peanuts to nibble on, and the next thing I did was to search for one of your lenses to read, and guess what caught my eye!!! Nicely done, still going to have those peanuts though, blessed.

Thanking you so much for your kind blessings.

Go for the peanuts, but try to have "portion control", not easy, but feasible if you reduce your intake just a few at a time.

Drink lots of water and walk every day, even just 20 mins. Try not to obsess about it, raises cortisol levels and makes it even harder to lose weight. Oh, and get enough sleep.

My favorite way is to dance . You have all the fun and you lose weight.

Yes, this statement is so true! As my brother-in-law once said, "seconds of pleasure that will require hours at the gym"...

Never could get the Hula Hoop thing going. Fortunately I was blessed with a hyper metabolism so weight control has never been an issue for me but my Dad was the same way until he got a bit older so I am sure my day is coming.

Hula hoop brings back some good old memories, and the title here just made me giggle when I saw it. How true it is! I like to "try" and stay healthy since the years are adding up...LOL

Always, I loose it I gain it back. This has been a theme in my life for about 5 years now. Great lens.

I try to eat a little less and be more active if I go up 2 or 3 pounds. Monitoring my weight means I can work it back off if I don't let it go up and up and up. Usually I can get the 2 or 3 pounds off again in a week or two.
Still there's that basic 15 to 20 pounds that I should have worked off years ago. Sigh...

I love walking. Came from a small town and as kids we got ourselves around everywhere--some pretty good distances--just walking, and the habit stuck. It's the best.

Ghost of Pizzas Past... I think I've been visited by that ghost before. :D My hips are not the problem, but the waist over them could use some work. I've got a suggestion about how to lose some inches whilst Squidooing...write 1 word, then run around the desk/table 1 time. That might just work. :D Thanks! 5 stars and lensrolling to Low Fat vs. Sugar Free.

I was blessed with "childbearing hips", as my father used to say. I did have my kids no problem, so I guess they work, lol. However, I do zumba and walking to try and tone them down a bit.

I walk every day but I need to start focusing on specifics. The older I get the harder it is to motivate myself, but my son is getting married in less than a year. Pictures...
Thanks for sharing.

Hubby was diagnosed with Diabetes a couple of months ago and is on a special diet. I went on it with him and the pounds are melting off. Diet and exercise really does work. My evenings are the only time I have to Squidoo sooo Squidooing suffers but, the pounds stay off. Stay happy squids.;)

LOL - One would think we could lose weight by Squidooing, but I think the lack of sleep is really not too helpful!

I wish I could figure out a way to lose weight by Squidooing.

If I was spending as much time for walking as I do for Squidooing,
I would have no problem with piling up the pounds ....EVER.

Thank you for the inspiration. Maybe you could do a lens on how to exercise while Squidooing. Squidoo is certainly helping to put the pounds on. Thank you for helping to reverse that trend.
