I personally would aim to go down to the highest weight which is within the 'healthy' range of the BMI, but if it seems too daunting do smaller aims at a time. A lot depends on your frame too. I'm 5 ft 1 with a small frame and I started at 124 pounds but I looked quite blobby and unhealthy. Then I think I had made my goal…

I remember my partner took some dieting aids that had that white bean extract. They worked while he took them, but as soon as he stopped he just put the weight back on. And they were kind of pricey lol!

I'm 26. I moved out when I was 19, my parents helped me a bit with my rent, and I lived with my boyfriend at the time. I was still in university at the time so just had a part time job. I've lived in our current flat for almost 4 years. My fiance and I are waiting for our new house to be built. We have three little boys…

You could also try yoga/pilates which are meant to be good for building lean muscle.

Great example of Charlotte in Sex in the City. I think her legs are amazing and she is absolutely stunning. Defined legs look so good.

I have 3 little boys, aged 5, 2 and a half and 10 months. They are absolutely gorgeous. I have always wanted 5 kids - lots of boys - but would be nice to add a bit of pink too! I currently want 5 or 6. I'm 26 and I don't want any after I'm 32 (it used to be 30, but I'm extending my limit). I look a lot younger than 26 (not…

I have the same problem! I am small, but I've always had 'muscly' legs, it seems to be a genetic thing. I'm just going to work on toning them up because unless I got way too skinny everywhere else, I don't think dieting/losing weight would really reduce them much. But I so here you with the boots. Mine are a bit better…

Please excuse the messy background - it was washing day!

Not sure if this will work but here is a pic of me last week. I lost the initial baby weight through breastfeeding so I joined myfitnesspal when I was at 124 pounds, currently 16 pounds lost.

I'm just a bit over 5ft (not quite 5 ft 1). I was always small but I put on a lot of weight with each of my pregnancies, although I did lose it in between. With my third son I put on 2 and a half stone and I was around 147 pounds with most of it being on my bum (also have a small frame so it really looks pretty obvious…

What a yummy mummy you are! Fantastic :-)! You look so beautiful and petite and just radiant.

I don't have a comeback! If someone says I look skinny I am absolutely delighted and clap my hands in glee! Someone said to me (not nastily): I bet you can buy child's sizes, and I was delighted at the money saving tip! I honestly think when people say these things they are usually jealous, and it's a sure sign that you…

Oh hun, you can totally do this. I have had three babies in 5 years and I always gained a lot pregnant (mostly on my bum and legs lol!) and then lost it fairly quickly. This time it's been a battle. I'm actually thinner than I was just before having my first son now but again, my super fast metabolism seems to have slowed…

I'm 112 lbs after having my third son 10 months ago. You can do it hun! I gained 2 and a half stone in each of my pregnancies (most of it in my bum and thighs) but managed to lose it within a year of each baby. I'm trying to tone up a bit at the moment but I am normally a big walker, walk everywhere with my boys and baby…

Sounds like you are doing great so far! I try to keep the diet and exercise manageable - I can eat whatever I want as long as it doesn't go over my daily cal allowance if you know what I mean - but usually seeing that say a biscuit is 99 precious cals is enough to put me off. Your exercise sounds great. I'm a mum of three…

You look absolutely sensational! Love the pic with you smiling! Gorgeous! Well done!
-
Feel free to add me hun. I'm a young mum, 26 with 3 little boys aged between 5 and 10 months. I'm trying to get fit again after having my babies.
-
I have some pics on my fitness profile. They are of about 3 months after having my third son, and quite recently (so about 6 months apart). I think I lost about 12 pounds or so between these pics. Most of it was done through breastfeeding, lots of walking and wearing my baby around the house. I'm not sure how to add them…
-
You have done absolutely amazing hun. I think you look beautiful! I'm 5 ft 1 and 110 pounds (I tend to be between 110-120), for some women they will be at the bigger end of the scale and that will be perfect for them depending on their build/frame etc. I am trying to tone up a bit, I have a small frame so any extra weight…

Don't feel bad for not breastfeeding! Loads of mothers aren't able to do it for whatever reason. I have been lucky to be able to breastfeed easily with all 3 of mine. If I hadn't, I would have given them formula or expressed - whatever had worked - and I wouldn't have felt guilty for it. You can only try your best!

Wow that is amazing! I am back down to my pre-preggo weight too (my youngest is almost 10 months) but looking to tone up a bit. I was very lucky in that breastfeeding my children helped me lose weight very quickly after they were born.
