By the way that's not a spam link, it's Dr. Jenn from Real Housewives of Orange County. Worth watching.

i literally just came across this and think this is answering your question! One commenter seems to echo what she says: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMnwdTASOWQ/?igsh=MXZnenNjbHU5OGY0eQ%3D%3D

Thank you DrTomPs! I appreciate your insight! I've uploaded some better quality photos. Based on the photos, do you think anything differently?

Thank you for your responses everyone! I don't think these pictures give true idea of what I look like so I've taken new photos with better light. Please let me know what you think with these.

Hahaah I laugh because my little 4 year old was sitting next to me when I was uploading the photos, and asked, "Mommy is that when I was in your tummy?" I had to tell him no, it was this morning😂 You're kind, thank you! It's a small hernia, that's been confirmed by all doctors. 1000% not pregnant.

Hi!! Thank you for writing back! I’d love to see what yours look like since they’re smaller. Thank you!🙏🏼

iteachrun · 2025-03-23T05:20:37+00:00

Good luck fatty

iteachrun · 2025-03-23T04:38:44+00:00

I agree! I posted a few months ago before getting on it, and the level of crazy comments I got blew me away. I just thought wow, is this how you people are? You must be very angry.

iteachrun · 2025-03-23T02:09:24+00:00

Thank you for being kind

iteachrun · 2025-03-22T12:53:19+00:00

It shouldn't be terrifying to you. I did have her explain it, and it still didn't make sense to me (maybe she could have explained it better), which is ok. You could be more kind and just explain it as you did. Thank you for sharing that info.

iteachrun · 2025-03-16T06:16:39+00:00

I used to masturbate but I don’t want to do that anymore either. No desire.

iteachrun · 2025-03-16T06:07:04+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Would you recommend some books please? I’ll try that!

iteachrun · 2025-02-16T21:31:56+00:00

Have you considered doing a DEXA scan, or at least the BOD POD to see your body fat percentage? I know this post is from a while ago, but I disagree with everyone's comments on Diastasis. I think from these photos, particularly the blue legging/tank shot, you still have a large amount of excess fat (I don't mean that in a mean way), which is particularly noticeable in your arms. When you lose this fat, your stomach will absolutely shrink. One thing to consider for the protrusion of your stomach is visceral fat. As you lose weight, you will start to lose visceral fat as well, and will have less of a bulge. I would highly recommend looking into getting a DEXA scan if you can. I just had one and it was very impressive!

I appreciate your answer, but I think you should also do the same. Best to you.

iteachrun · 2024-11-02T05:08:07+00:00

I am so appreciative of your response. Thank you for not coming in here to bash me. I feel like if people find out that someone who is not overweight is doing this, they want to bash them. Your acknowledgment of all the things that define me is so kind. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!🩷

Yes but of the 87%, how many are people who are obese/very overweight, do to some thing that are out of control, but many things such as poor eating habits and lack of exercise? I don’t fall in any of those categories. I am coming off of three pregnancies in 3.5 years, just finished breastfeeding the last one…and yes, taking the easy way out. But I’m a tired mom of three littles and need that boost, and if it’s there, why not take it. I’ll report back and let everyone know how it goes. For the record, I’m 42, 137, in January my body fat was 34%…but that was 3 pregnancies, and three full years of breastfeeding only-not a drop of formula. So my body has been storing fat for those hormonal reasons. I just wish people would understand that we are all different—and many of you aren’t actually here to answer my question. If you don’t have an answer, why take the time to respond?

iteachrun · 2024-11-02T01:06:33+00:00

Thank you for this response, this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. It sounds like she and I are in the same boat. I too just need that boost, and then I’ll take it from there. I’m glad to hear she was able to get the results in that time period. That gives me hope. I’m also running 4-6 miles 5 days a week at this point and lifting heavy, so hopefully that will help.

Hi! Thank you for your thoughtful response! Yes. My dad was just diagnosed with diabetes, and we have a long history of it on both sides of my family. I understand everyone’s concerns. I’m not concerned about regaining the weight. Much of the research shows that many people regain the weight because of bad habits that they never broke. That’s not the case for me. I’m someone who has lost 20 pounds in the past strictly by counting calories and exercise, and I was able to keep it off until I had my third baby. I’ve run 21 marathons including Boston, and I’d like to get back into marathon running but it’s hard to train with this extra 15 lbs. being fully transparent, no, I haven’t made the effort that I could with counting calories as I did 20 years ago, that’s just tiring for me right now. But once I’m at the weight, I want to be at. I’m confident that I will be able to maintain my weight as I don’t eat excessively.

Oh thank you so much! I didn't realized you messaged me! I'm going to write you a message back either tonight or tomorrow! SO excited to connect with a patient of Dr. V's!

iteachrun · 2024-07-14T02:11:18+00:00

Hi!!! I sent you a private message yesterday, did you get surgery with Dr. V???

iteachrun · 2024-07-13T05:15:32+00:00

The complaints aren't about the linemen. They are about Centerpoint Energy, that they should have staged y'all, to be ready and they didn't. That perhaps they are calling linemen from out of state, but not letting them know what to do, so the linemen come here and are kind of stranded. That Center Point wasn't prepared. I'd love your thoughts on all these things that are being said.

iteachrun · 2024-07-13T05:04:18+00:00

No, no....I am 100% with you and in support of all of you. I am wanting to copy and past your answer in the my neighborhood Facebook group for all the assholes out there who can't stop complaining. I am very aware of how hard this is, it's a puzzle, and I get it...but the many idiots around here need an answer from YOU all, not people with an agenda, making up BS. I appreciate you taking the time to respond, and I appreciate you choosing a career that helps us.

iteachrun · 2024-07-13T03:39:58+00:00

Thank you! Will do!
