Lost 22lb in 2 minutes, got so much energy!

Options
AND I spot reduced it, all from my hip (inset smug face here)!

How you ask?

It's so simple, anyone can do it with this one simple tip!

I handed my baby over to his granny for the day! I'm leaping about doing jobs with ease without that 22lb stuck to my hip! (Although - soppy mummy alert - I do miss him horribly!)

And yes, all you jealous haters will shout about me gaining it back and more in no time. I know its true, I know granny will fill him full of her apple cake, ice cream and other such treats and he will come back later even heavier than when he left!

In all seriousiness though, I've actually lost 30lb of fat in the last 6 months, and on my 5'1 small frame it's made a huge difference to how I feel. Carrying a 22lb LO about and feeling how heavy he is really drives it home what a strain I was putting on my body carrying the extra. Roll on the next 6 months for tweaking my body fat % and strengthening up as I start lifting more than baby weight!

    Cute! Congratulations on the wonderful 30 lb success. I was carrying around my 8 yr old the other day and it hit me...she weighs the amount I still have to lose. I'm going to feel so much better when I am at goal!

    It's awesome when you realize you lost a person in terms of weight.

    I gotta say I LOVE LOVE LOVE this post, you ma'am are awesome.

    Congrats on the weight loss! Though just know that over the years you are bound to gain AT LEAST another 100. Sorry to tell you

    I loved this post. It had me smiling ear-to-ear, it was just so cute and funny. Enjoy your day without the little one, and when he comes back to you later today, you can catch up on all the fun giggles and snuggles then. :flowerforyou:

    Its crazy when you lose weight to hold something similar and be like I WALKED AROUND WITH THIS, IN FAT, ON MY BODY. Like I was carrying a really heavy backpack recently and I was like how did I walk with this. I can't wait until the day when I'm at a healthy weight and can think about how did I walk around with that much extra weight for so long, its like I was carrying my husband on my back.

    The problem with fad diets in that you'll gain it all back quickly. :laugh:

    I just put a total of 70 pounds down for a nap. Feels spectacular.
  • Hahahaha, Now that is something to jump about over. Funny how kids can drive you crazy when they are stuck to your hip all day but when somebody is taking care of them or they are sleeping you miss them and want a cuddle :laugh:
