[gingerninjasmum]

While searching the net for lower tummy exercises(anyone have any btw??)I can across a bodybuilding forum.In it a woman who had Five children shows how she,in her own words,"went from a huge size 12 to normal size 4"!!! Is anyone else slightly baffled and bemused by this???The pics of her are well,lets just say She looks like a man even her face is masculine.She talks about injections to help tone up etc.As someone who is desperate to get back into slightly too tight size 12 jeans she made me feel like an elephant.
Whats the general feeling here??Im all for helping weight loss along as long as its safe btw.

rant over .....ta !!! lol

Hi!
I also have a real problem with anyone under a size 12 complaining how fat they are!
Don't you also hate all those celebrity mums that look like they haven't even gone through puberty 6 weeks after giving birth?
The only way they can possibly have done it is through weird injections, drugs, starvation diets or sadistic personal trainers. Personally, I'd rather do it naturally, even if it takes longer. btw, size 12 jeans wouldn't get up past my knees at the moment!!!

it might be american sizing which means size 4 american is our size 8

whilst it's still MAD was she in the US? the sizes are bigger there, a 12 is more like our 14, a 4 is an 6

....actually, that's still nuts!

I can never work out if US sizes are 2 or 4 less than British sizes. Seem to be told both, and never know which it is...

American vs British dress sizes

UK - 6 USA - 4
UK - 8 USA - 6
UK - 10 USA - 8
UK - 12 USA - 10
UK - 14 USA - 12

OMG!! Therefore she went from a UK 14 to a UK 6! I would like to be a UK 14 to start with!

those body building types can be very weird though - I'm sure it's really not good for you at all. Especially injecting stuff
