Will I ever get less squishy?

21 replies

FrightfullyPoshFloss · 13/10/2005 22:38

I'm squishy nearly a year after Ds's birth. I'm not old (although I feel it) and I see all the famous people and they don't look squishy (I know they all get flat stomachs in a week too). Why am I squishy? Will I ever become firmer again? Does anyone know what an earth I am on about?

i think i need a tummy tuck. or at least gym membership

hunkerpumpkin · 13/10/2005 22:41

Have another one. Then worry about it.

Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything

Am having another, oohh I'd love to be pregnant now week. But have so much to sort out in the next six months now (DS birthday, my birthday, xmas, getting a car, getting a mortgage, doing enough work to afford both, setting up for a move, moving, settling in, need I go on?!). Maybe after .

Gym membership seems expensive and time consuming. I want to give nothing and get lots of results. Have been roughly following slimfast this week, and ran around like you wouldn't believe today. Maybe tomorrow I will wake up all firm, toned and lithe?

squishy is a nice word isn't it? Shame it's not a nice state!

Well done! I have found that can't physically be possible on Slimfast. I am having breakfast and lunch as lat as possible to try to make it seem like my lovely dinner isn't far away! Have only had fruit, muscles, rice cakes and one go ahead bar just now though.

Am rather embarrassed to admit that the thought of the MN meet is rather spurring me on. Not sure how long for thought. Harder to do when Dp will be home with me at the weekend.

Muscles?

muscles

Yum! In Asda, pre shelled in Brine, which isn't so good, but only about 89 calories per 100g.

Probably my favourite food when cooked as above.

Ah! Mussels!

Had visions of you eating Popeye's arms...!

startingtobehalloweenylover · 13/10/2005 22:55

see i think slimfast is a bit shit really.
dp bought me the "you are what you eat" cookbook for my birthday!!! think he's trying to tell me something!

but anyway, i have vowed to make dinners from it. so eat healthily and cut out crappy sncaks!

You know, as I wrote that I wondered if I had spelt it right! But it came up on Google! Dosen't say much I suppose. Of course, the establishments we normally eat at call them 'moule mariniere'

I'm sure it is shit. But it's a diet I can afford. And I hoped it might make a few pounds shift quite quickly to give me a bit of motivation to keep healthy eating up longer. If I am on it, I seem to have more determination to eat better. Haven't had so much fruit for a long time.

yeah it's the motivation more than anything els isn't it?

i am usually so unmotivated but someone i work with has lost 2 stone recently and it's made me feel so fat and frumpy!

Where I work hardly anyone can be above a ten. I always look like the fatest woman in the row in the reflection in the tube windows . I'm tall so I should never be as skinny as some of those girls, but just a little bit slim would make me happy!

Floss, when that boy of yours starts to run you'll tone up in no time .

Any more steps yet BTW?

wysiwyg · 14/10/2005 00:03

I think you need to do 38000 sit ups everyday. Or walk around and hold in your tummy - all the time.
Am one year on and squishy too. Dont' think it will go until I stop breastfeeding but I bet loads of you out there are thinking "rubbish" to that.
Have done weightwatchers in the past but I think I became too food obsessed so wouldn't join again. Now trying to: Eat less, exercise more; eat healthily; a little of what you like...; stop when you are full.
(Kind of Paul McKenna - but didn't get the book - it's just common sense really - but tricky!)

No GN! It's like, right, I could do that if I wanted and now I can't be bothered! Crawling is quicker! Busy opening doors now though and creating more havoc than ever (but, doing it with such a big smile on his face it's worth it!)

If I start doing my sit ups now I might be finished by the morning!
