I have downloaded the app, but where do I put in the code you have referring to in the video?

Also the outfit you and your mom called a "mom" outfit is what I wear all the time and I don't have kids haha!

Thank you! I should have called it a practical outfit.

@@shannontorrens1 haha yes that's a great description!

Thank you! Yes I think it is best to not get upset about weight, at least I don't anymore =)

Thank you! It is fun to have a mom as a friend too.

I completely agree Karen! After my first 2 boys my body was shaped different than before and I don't imagine it going back. Also my style has changed from before I had kids (and with age )too. =)

That is great! I hope you are having a nice weekend. =)

Hi Rebecca, that is exactly where I am at. I feel like I need to embrace the season I am in and accept it for now. I hope you are doing well.

@@shannontorrens1 Acceptance has been good - prioritizing strength and function has been a faster path to happiness for sure. I don’t want to give up bread and chocolate! ♥️

Thank you Anna! I love to hear that because I also think the minimal mom has a lot of great ideas, but our format is a little different. Just shows we can all talk about the same topic but bring our own personal experience to it. I hope you are doing well.

Yay! That is wonderful =)

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I hope you have a nice day =)

Thank you so much!

Oh thank you!

Hi Ann, Thank you! It felt great to clear out all the things that don't fit right now.

haha good idea to reuse the fabric!

I can completely relate to this struggle Anna! I always tell myself the weight wasn't put on overnight so it's not going to fall off overnight. Slow and steady will win the race =)

Thank you Linda!

Thank you! Such a good idea to set a limit, especially if you think your size might change. But I know that feeling of buying clothes in one size only to lose a lot of weight and feel like I wasted money. That is exactly what happened after I had my second son.

Hi Sarah, panic buying is a real thing! It has already happened to me as you saw in this declutter. I had nothing to wear and just bought the first thing I saw only to find out that it didn't fit that great. It really is great to know just a few items can get us to that next stage.

Haha I feel you on this comment! Sometimes it's just a lot of work.

Congratulations on your baby =)

Yay! That is the lesson I learned too =)

Hi Denise, I have been researching intermittent Fasting and have been trying it. I can see it working. I am just waiting till my guests leave before I really get into it. That is awesome you were able to reach your goal =)

Yay! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you Laura, I have been to Kauai once a long time ago and loved it. But we usually go to Maui when we go on vacation. Hawaii is so beautiful I love it there. =)

@@shannontorrens1 Come back!! I would love for you to see us and help in my home. We always say other islands are good but Kauai is the best!!🥰

Hi Julia, I love to hear what is working for you and that you are still decluttering what you don't need. Yay! I am trying to have a good attitude about my size right now because like you said it doesn't help to feel bad about it or go around with no clothes lol. I am like you I want to just find the items I need quickly. The fact that I have already been to 3 stores and not found what I wanted is very frustrating. I am still on the hunt for what I need, but being picky combined with only wanting certain items makes it hard. So happy to hear you space is also looking refreshed =)

@@shannontorrens1 you look great, so no shame! Here's a funny story that I thought of when you were talking about the black plaid shirt and how the look of it was not something you liked. A couple years ago, I had the same idea and had purchased this vest to wear in the house that was made out of like plush fur or whatever. I thought, well it'll be nice and warm and it's so soft.. plus I'm just in the house so why does it matter what something looks like? Sometimes though, I would keep it on and run out and do an errand and catch a glimpse of myself and it was not good. I held on to it because it fit and I told myself, you are just being picky. Then after watching one of your videos and seeing how matter of fact you are, I thought to myself, yeah I'm letting this go! Turns out, I do care what I look like even if I'm just in the house Etc Truly, it made me look like a stuffed animal LOL I decided there are other things to wear to keep warm in the house that don't make you feel like a child's plush toy!

@@juliab628 This is exactly how I have been feeling lately! I am home a lot so it really does matter how I feel and what I wear at home too. It's easy for me to say who cares what I look like, but I have noticed I get way more done and feel a lot happier when I like the way I look and feel put together. =)

Yay! Doing this for me is actually motivating me to get in shape, it's like a ticking clock LOL.

Hi Debbie, it does cool down here, but if the pool is heated it's usually still warm enough outside to swim.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! 😊 Slow and steady with decluttering.

I am also still making my way back to my previous pre baby weight, but I refuse to do anything radical so it's taking a long time. Long story short I don't regret anything I got rid of =)

Thanks so much! 😊 That is a great idea, I can ask my mom if she would be interested in showing her wardrobe.

@@shannontorrens1 you are lucky to be such good pals with your mom. She is adorable.

That is great! It is so good to have someone like that =)

Thank you!!

I'm so glad!

Hi Catherine, it feels good to get all those things that don't fit out of the way. At least for now. =)

Hi Sharon! That is how I was feeling too. That's why moving them out was the best feeling.

Thanks so much!

Thank you Donna, I will probably add that top to the things I will wear after I lose the weight. When I am thin that top looks cute but definitely doesn't look the same with the extra weight.

Absolutely!!

Thank you Kelsey! Good luck on your decluttering.

Yay! Thank you!

Thank you Beth! Congratulations on your baby =)

Hi Danya, It feels good to hear I am not alone. I hope you are doing well.

That is such a good idea to give it a time limit and then move on after that. I know that feeling when things that we always wore just don't fit the same...

You can do it! I am so happy this came at the right time =)

@@shannontorrens1 merci :) thank you for your supportive encouragement, thank you,.. it helps to accept transition with a smile thanks to your positiveness with your mum, thank you, you help the world spreading smile !! you are a gift angel on earth you and your mummy :) thank you bot of you for being you, i felt a deep gratitude to express you today.. love 🙏🌟

Yes! This felt so good, and to remove all those things that don't fit for now. I hope you are doing well.

You can do it!

@@shannontorrens1

Hi Jessica, That is great you can see only what you love in your closet. It feels so good when getting dressed to know everything will fit.

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you! I hope you are doing well.

Hi Karen, I will do another video showing my full fall wardrobe as soon as I can find those missing pieces. I hope you have a great week.

This is so so true! I remember this after my first son. So many things I had didn't look good even though I was the same weight.

Hi Carol! I am there with you. Eventually we will get there.

This is such a good idea to wait to declutter things you still like and would wear if they fit. Especially if the weight gain is temporary. =)

Girl, same here. How did it happen so quickly. Seems I have more to stow away than there is things that fit. Honestly hate shopping for clothes. I find s few things then out grow it before i get a chsnce to wear it. I need comfy pants with pockets. but not necessarily sweatpants. but thats where im at 1 pair of rough edge pants i almost decluttered but glad i kept because its only pair of loosefitting pants. 1 yoga 2 sweatpants and one of dark jeans that button but can't wear them long feelin squished and overheat.... recently also split a supercomfy pair of pj pants that had years of wear. pants that got lots of wear...unfortunately it happened when I was sitting with my mom who visited first time in years.. sorting through a box. she couldnt sit in my room so we didnt get far unless i csme out wearing each thing...so decided to just come visit whild sortinh a box and... riiip. then she lsughed as I got up snd gave her s partial moon. few clothes that were given to me with good intentions from s friend who was decluttering her own.. thanks but Im still sorting through clothes.....Ill just leave it here for you to try...i havd plenty to try but thanks...she left it anyway. i tried them...and they were maternity clothes....cute but I'm not pregnant.....its happening again. started a donate bag for mamas for mamas. posted a couple New but don't fit things. the few sweaters that are not too tight are boxy..and feel tent like I need to go get a fresh set of a few things at Old navy... comfy clothes without being expensive. except I need to get some of this out. my place is small.. no basement or extra storage..so half of my closet is storing seasonal/ non fit other half is clothes I thought I'd wear. couple piles Of clothes I actually do wear...no space. too much that doesn't work. weigh fluctuating again.

What I did was move the stuff that didn’t fit, mainly pants out into my ottoman as a 1/2 way home. When I got to goal weight I tried on and whatever didn’t fit went.

Thank you Chloe, Yay for donating what you don't need. I love hearing that. Weight is such a hard thing to deal with, this is why I am just embracing the now and the size I am now. If I lose the weight great if not at least I will have something to wear LOL.

Hi Luna, Good luck on your closet. =)

@@shannontorrens1 :)

Thank you!

Thank you, I actually bought them from Costco about a year ago so I don't have a link.

I am doing the same because I know it takes a while, finding something that fits in the mean time is my current challenge LOL.

Thank you Karin, both of those pants were from Costco last year. The Blue jeans are gloria vanderbelt. =)

Yes, I completely agree with this! Best to get something that can fit comfortably.

Hi Brandi, I am the same way with maternity clothes. After I have my baby I don't want to ever see maternity clothes again LOL. I usually just get things when I am already out if something catches my eye. Sometimes I find things at Costco or at thrift stores. I recently went to Macy's because I have had luck there before but this time they didn't have anything I liked. So a few days ago I actually ordered a few things off Amazon (which I never do, but I thought it was worth a try). For some reason I am really struggling to find things I like, maybe the trends and styles out there right now just don't look good on me.

​@@shannontorrens1 I had this twisty shawl thing I wore over everything because it was so versatile and accommodating. By the end of the pregnancy I need ready to burn it 🤣

Thank you! That top looks a lot better in person and when I am thinner, but I can see what you are seeing lol

Hi Terri, I know how hard it is!

Haha I wish, but I know the weight will come off eventually. The good thing is I am not in a huge rush. =)

I am going to double check this but if you already have the app, it looks like you tap the profile option and then there is a place that says promo code and you can enter it there.

Thank you so much!!

I agree...the blue top was not flattering at all, but probably real comfy!

Exactly!! I hope you are doing well. =)

Your style does change but I find it difficult to find things I actually LIKE, more so as I get older.

hahaha I know it will take time because after all my pregnancies it has taken at least a year to lose the weight. But it is important for me to lose the weight and get in shape because more than anything I just don't feel comfortable this size. It's not really about looks it's more about how I feel and the energy I like to have everyday =)

@@shannontorrens1 definitely! I just know that, especially if you are and have breastfed, your upper body circumference increases and not just in the front, but even like across your back. You might experience differently!

@@Onurtime - yes, of course bodies change with pregnancy. But there’s nothing magic about having a third child changing your body that is irreversible. As a physician, I see this all the time in my female patients. With a little attention to diet and exercise, and given enough time, every woman can get to her comfortable place, no matter how many children she has had.

@@susannovak8263 sure. Comfortable place means accepting a body that is different than before. The scale might show the same as before pregnancy but your body changes shape
