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?

About five stone, from all over!

SantaWearsGreen · 06/12/2012 23:21

5 stone.

Had 3 DC in space of 2.5 yrs. Still harbouring 3 stone from first and a stone for each of the other two.. Gross. Whoever said bfing makes you lose weight wants a punch. Its only ever made me stick at a weight Angry

KOTK · 06/12/2012 23:25

11 or 12 st would be fab. Thankyou and please.

SoleSource · 06/12/2012 23:44

4 1/2 ounce

TheCortanaThatStoleChristmas · 07/12/2012 00:23

7lb would put me back pre DC. I'd want the abs and firm buns with it too. And my pert tits please.

ImperfectPirouette · 07/12/2012 01:00

I am totally with MrsTerryPratchett not least because then I wouldn't be utterly miserable with my (Caused By Medication) current BMI of 20 & desperate to get back to BMI 17 or less by whatever means necessary & wishing I could just hack all the revolting wobble off my thunder thighs

So we are clear, I don't think a BMI of 20/my current weight/being a size 6 is fat in/as objective measure. It's just on me that it is absolutely revolting/disgusting/shameful etc blah.

NervousAt20 · 07/12/2012 04:28

A stone and a half to take me just below my pre pregnancy weight

MrsTerryPratchett · 07/12/2012 04:47

ImperfectPirouette your name is twirly so you get to be happy and healthy first out of everyone. You are beautiful and lovely.

Justtheonemore · 07/12/2012 07:08

2DC in 11 months left me a bloody heffer overweight. Lost 32lbs so far on Slimming World, another 20 to go. But a quick click to tone it all back up?? Yes please.

mum2threesons · 07/12/2012 07:23

Im embarresed to say how much I need to lose but its a hell of alot.
Been trying to lose it all my life but I cant get it off.
Id love to be a size 14 but I think pigs might fly first Sad

AntoinetteCosway · 07/12/2012 07:26

I lost 5 stone this year. Having been a size 18 I'm now a size 8.

But my instinctive response to this question is 'about half a stone'. I think no matter your size, I think most people will always find fault with themselves...so I'd like to join MrsTerryPratchett's world please!

jamdonut · 07/12/2012 07:37

I have about 8 stone to lose...It's never going to happen is it? Sad
I was left with a lot of weight after 3rd pregnancy 12 years ago. Previously I lost weight easily, but this would not shift and I have just gone up and up and up...
I know its all about mindset...I try to eat healthily, but I equate dieting with being boring and miserable. I have to do something soon.[hmmm]

BistoBearWithBaublesOn · 07/12/2012 08:00

I would like to lose 1 stone AND grow 2 inches
in one click please :)

Shutupanddrive · 07/12/2012 08:11

2 stone please!

FunBagFreddie · 07/12/2012 09:06

Fat redistribution would be great, how about fat from my inner thighs and waist being magically transferred to my flat bottom.

ImperfectPirouette · 07/12/2012 09:13

MrsTerryPratchett - thank you Grin

ImperfectPirouette · 07/12/2012 09:15

(I managed to hold off on the contradictory urge long enough to post. And no longer. )

RooneyMara · 07/12/2012 09:18

I'd want this baby out Smile plus the water retention from my legs, not sure why that is happening Hmm

Bump is very neat and small
Boobs, fine, I need them to be substantial for feeding him

It's just my legs and bottom that seem to be holding on to a lot of weight.

I was 10 1/2 stone (normally 8 1/2) till the other week, now I'm over 11 HmmHmm

Luckily only 4 weeks to go. It fell off the last two times, I hope it does the same again...

seeker · 07/12/2012 09:21

I have a friend who said "darling- if only I was emaciated- then I could eat my way up"

RooneyMara · 07/12/2012 09:24

I did that Seeker, when I was about 27. It was very interesting going from 6 stone-ish to a normal weight, sort of stuck around 8 and a half for ages...it was like emerging from a chrysalis or something.

Very strange. And hormonally interesting too.

higgyjig · 09/12/2012 00:52

What if I told you all

that you could lose the weight if you stopped eating crap and started exercising disappears in mysterious haze of smoke

SoggySummer · 09/12/2012 00:53

4 stone

RooneyMara · 09/12/2012 07:12

Higgy, I'd probably want to lamp you. Have you tried exercising with SPD? Have you?

It's not recommended for a reason.

MoreFrontThanBrighton · 09/12/2012 07:22

3 stone and I'd drop it on Higgyjig's head.

FellatioNelson · 09/12/2012 07:38

Tell us your secret then higgyjig. Tell us your life's nutritional history. Let's have a run-down of what and when you eat, how you ate as a child, and how much you have weighted throughout your life, wehter or not you have eve regularly drunk alcohol whether you smoke, or have ever smoked, and what you have always done in the way of regular exercise. Whether or not you've ever had to take steroids for illness, whether you've ever had an under active thyroid, or PCOS etc. Tell us. We are all ears.
