jane:
don't feel bad about posting this. I am 5'8". Last summer I weighed 125. Now I weight about 150 due to med weight gain. Am usually about 130.
the biggest thing about it is the jiggling for me, as well. it drives me crazy.
but that is "fixed" with exercise. no other way to do it.
yoga and walking will do it. so will excessive work-outs. i opt for yoga and walking.
when one is a certain size most of their lives and then that suddenly changes, it causes a great deal of emotional grief. if my pdoc wasn't in tune with the fact that this weight gain has hurt me, i'd look elsewhere.
i second isom's diet suggestion - go for vegies and whole foods. your body will (most likely)process them better and drink water. just everytime you think about it.
if you need protein (i don't need much), then i like the zone diet. my brother did well on that.
then try to do yoga and/or walk every day, even a little ways. or just stretch - any use of a muscle is going to tighten it.
and, above all, don't stress about it. you just want to get your body in better shape eventually.
oh, also dance classes - fun and good for you!
