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'd like to lose half a stone. I have already lost over 4 stones and am reasonably happy now, but that would be the icing on the cake.
I would like to lose it off my boobs and an inch or two off my waist. I've never had a nice defined waist that goes in at the sides, even when I've been very slim and fit.
This is my goal for next summer.

JamieandtheMagiTorch · 06/12/2012 19:17

3stone, although been a size 16 I feel the healthiest IV ever been, i used to be a size 6 but that was because i had a break down at 18years old and never ate. Now i have the opposite problem i love my food

5hounds · 06/12/2012 19:19

I'm 25 now, but don't have confidence to join a slimming club

InTheBoonies · 06/12/2012 19:21

One stone.

8st'4lb to 7st'4lb. I am only 5'2 though. It could all be off my top half ideally, I have always had thin legs and a fatter tummy and arms.

FrenchRuby · 06/12/2012 19:23

I've lost close to 7 stone so far so I'd like to lose the last stone I have left, preferably off of my arms because they don't seem to have changed at all :(

VisualiseAHorse · 06/12/2012 19:28

About one stone, from my thighs and stomach. Stupid baby weight.

GreatCongas · 06/12/2012 19:41

Two stone if I can pick where from

I'm down around 3 and a half stone since August (today is Day 123!) doing low carb. Another 1 and a half to go - a magic button (fnar!) is just what I need!

yomellamoHelly · 06/12/2012 19:48

2 stone 12 pounds to get to BMI of 22 :(

headfairy · 06/12/2012 19:50

3 and a half stone please. Can I click my fingers and have a nicely toned body too please?

EugenesAxeChoppedDownANiceTree · 06/12/2012 19:52

NickNacks - me too! I might be a bit too thin for my wardrobe though; maybe 3 would be better.

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 06/12/2012 20:08

I could lose 13 stone and still only end up with a BMI in the "Healthy" range, and not even right at the bottom end of healthy.
That's well over half my body weight.

javotte · 06/12/2012 20:12

5 stone Sad

superstarheartbreaker · 06/12/2012 20:17

1 stone. Recently put on a stone due to suffing my face. It's natural in cold weather. have started doing the 30 day shred again. It's amazing! It's a fitness dvd and it tones like nothing else.

NorbertDentressangle · 06/12/2012 20:17

Half a stone or so from around my middle would be good.

GOLDENLiquidAngel · 06/12/2012 20:18

I'm another who'd like some redistribution, rather than loss please! Some off the left nork so I'm not lopsided and a less ridiculous size, and some off my podge stomach, and what's removed put on my bum, preferably in a nice pert, round, toned and perky shakira/kylie style. I long for the day I can fill out the back end of a pair of jeans... Instead I look like the back end of a bus with little to no arse. And the little arse I do have is heading south... Fast. If you could see to it that the norks get lifted a tad, and everything else is toned that'd be just fab thank you kindly

5hounds- what about an online slimming club if you don't feel up to attending one in person? i've not used one so can't suggest any in particular but I do agree that having support and people dieting with you helps a lot.

Yes, the 'redistribution' diet is yet to be invented.

5 stone

COCKadoodledooo · 06/12/2012 23:11

Am a stone heavier now than when we got married 14 years ago, and I'd like to drop it and keep it off.
Calves, thighs, butt and bingo wings to go for me please!

BikeRunSki · 06/12/2012 23:14

A stone.
I've already lost a stone and a half.
Another stone gets me back to healthy BMI and fitting my work clothes. Back to work 2 Jan after 15 months off - mat leave and accumulated leave.
