Baby Weight Shifting Club

How soon after birth can you get on with the stomach crunches?

SM ma dear - stick me on the 'weighting list' (that was a good one!) :rotfl:

I am hoping to be one of this horrible people who bounce right back after birth but going on my Mum's belly I might need a bit of help! She has the excuse of having 5 kids which is what I want as well - am sure after 5 chocolate and ice cream filled pregnancies I'll def need to shift something!!

I'm hoping to bounce back too Glam - my family is divided into women who have a baby and never regain any semblance of shape, and women who walk out of the hospital in their size 8 pre pregnant pants. I'm shaped like the skinny ones normally but have gained weight like the others so it could go either way.

Just noticed this morning that my boobs have started pointing the wrong way. How does one fix this post-birth? A pessimistic pair is not what I want for the rest of my life.

do the 'ole - I must, I must, I must improve my bust exercises!!!

Mine have only gone up one size to a DD (thank god, was dreading getting my pre-op H cups back!) and are still pert so am hoping they stay that way.

As boobs are mostly fat, I don't think you can do much with them!

SS for stomach crunch i think its 4-6 weeks depending on the woman and if it was natural or c/s ... also with boob you cant and wont know what they'll be like til after birth or BFing (if you are) you have to wait til the milk dries up before you get there real shape x

Just checking in ladies, I can associate with SL about feeling fed up and eating more! I think being at home with DD is so new as im used to always being at work, too much in fridge and cupboards and so easy to much away when DS and DH are at school and work, they really have no idea how much I eat throughout the day!!

So from tomorrow I am going to really try my best, gonna come straight to lappy when I feel weak (expect to be infront of it all day for at least the first week!)

Has anyone got the ea sports/active thingy for the wii, was wondering if it was any good and worth spending the pennies on?

I've got it. It's faaaaaaaaar better than Wii fit (unless you like the balancing games/yoga which are fun but not exactly fat burning).
I've just burnt 250 calories doing two workouts of 25 mins each on it. Am sweating buckets now but feeling pleased with myself
