I weighed myself this morning and am 11lbs over my usual weight. The extra weight is leftover from having dc4. I have have not made any real effort to get to this point (a fair bit has been lost so far- not sure how much as have not been weighing myself) but I wish i could click my fingers and vanish this last bit. The extra pounds are sitting on my tummy, arse, thighs and hips. I would like the squishy bits to be banished!

If you could drop weight instantly, how much would you shift and where on your body would it come from?

I've lost nearly 50lbs/3.5st since January even though I had DD4 in Sept. I could do with losing another 2st but preferably 3st so hopefully by this time next year I will do it.

SwedishEdith · 06/12/2012 18:27

I wouldn't change weight, I'd just make myself 2 inches taller

BinksToEnlightenment · 06/12/2012 18:28

I'd lose more than I needed in order to put a load back on. Yummy fattening up!

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 06/12/2012 18:28

Two stone. From upper arms, calves, thighs and stomach.

However research has shown that when I lose it, it goes from my boobs. Sad

BinksToEnlightenment · 06/12/2012 18:28

So that would be two stone to put one back on.

littlewhitebag · 06/12/2012 18:29

I have lost 2 stones since May and am almost at BMI of 25 but i would like to lose another 14lb if i could. I will just have to keep on going with the diet.

over 3 years ago. Best £5K I ever spent.

Viviennemary · 06/12/2012 18:34

Well ideally I'd like to lose just under 3 stone but I'd settle for 2. I did lose a stone last year but have put it all back on. I was another 8st 4 lbs person in another lifetime.

AngelOne · 06/12/2012 18:37

a stone

EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin · 06/12/2012 18:37

4/5 lb. Not much but I'm a short arse so any extra weight shows.

Just had fish, chips and peas too Blush

Floggingmolly · 06/12/2012 18:38

3 stone. I'm about 2 stone overweight, but I'd love to be under weight for once to allow some room for manoeuvre.

LadyIsabellaWrotham · 06/12/2012 18:40

2 inches from my waist and two from my arse/thighs - the skirt of my favourite suit is too tight. I'm going to do it with the help of Jillian, but I prefer your finger-clicky approach.

Feminist-inspired body confidence is all very well and laudable, but the problem is that if I eat what I fancy all the time then I'd put on a few pounds every year, and at the end of forty years I'd end up with a BMI of 40, diabetes and no knees.

WorraLorraTurkey · 06/12/2012 18:42

None, but I'd really love to be able to give my body to someone else so they can do some strenuous sit-ups and crunches for me.

Then they can give it back when the pains has subsided Grin

Abouts 4 pounds...maybe 6 but I can't be arsed. I spent a year losing almost 5 stone so the last 4 pounds has not bothered me one bloody bit,!

SundaysGirl · 06/12/2012 18:46

Hmmm I'd not actually want to lose weight, just have the power to re-distribute it around my body. So say plenty off the stomach and re-assign to boobs and butt. Grin

IShallCallYouSquishy · 06/12/2012 18:46

About 3 stone would be lovely but more realistically 2 would be maintainable.
I've just started slimming world so lets see if I can get there

oooggs · 06/12/2012 18:48

Lequeen, I would also like to be that weight and I am that height, but I need to lose a stone!

Waiting til after Christmas to start, not sure where!!

Why do I lose from my boobs & face first?!?!

HoratiaLovesBabyJesus · 06/12/2012 18:48

Sensibly, about 10lb from jelly belly and saddlebags, all of which are post-DC flab.

If I knew I wouldn't put it back on ... 25lb taken from all over but particularly between knees and nipples.

MadamFolly · 06/12/2012 18:48

7 stone:(

CarlingBlackMabel · 06/12/2012 18:49

1 stone.

AcidTurkishBath · 06/12/2012 18:49

I'd like to lose a couple of pounds from my hips and the very tops of my thighs. I have never been able to shift that weight, however skinny the rest of me gets.

EarnestDullard · 06/12/2012 18:50

Not sure, as the battery in my scales is dead, but I'm guessing about 1.5st (baby weight).

Walkacrossthesand · 06/12/2012 18:56

15kg. Like LadyIsabella, if I eat what I fancy I gain 5Kg/year. I got down to BMI 25 with WW & looked great (I'm broadshouldered & muscular), but it crept up (see above) & i am now maintaining my current weight (BMI 32) by eating a bit less than I fancy. Would dearly love to see the numbers dropping but that means eating seriously less than I fancy & I haven't managed to repeat that. Yet.
