Saying Good-Bye to Unwelcome Guests!

Why can't it be considered cute for my legs to look like this? I'm in the process of removing about 5 pounds. I wouldn't go as far as to call it the "D" word, just working my behind off to do just that...work my behind off! I have a whole new respect for anyone who has removed weight. While I would like to blame these extra few pounds on the owner of these cute little chunky thighs, dubbing them "baby weight," it was me who enjoyed too many oatmeal chocolate chip cookies on more days than I would like to admit. I take full responsibility. But, some blame has to go to the hormonal avalanche that pregnancy sets off. All of those lovely lipoprotein lipase enzymes that kick into high gear and settle in the hip, thigh and butt region, making themselves right at home like unwanted guests. It's time to remove them before they become too comfortable!

I won't miss them on myself because I have the pleasure of squeezing these beauties...and they are fun to squeeze!

If only our thighs looked as cute as our little ones with all that chubb!

I am with you. I am trying to work off a little too much extra!

Good Luck!

Oh the last five pounds are the worst :(. I feel like it takes me until the next pregnancy to lose my last five pounds. The moment I do, I get pregnant again. Sigh... Good thing babies are worth it.

I love the baby chubby and the cottage cheese bottom (as we call it). I love when they start to thin out a bit and they have tan lines from their chub. If only...

Amen, I'm right there with you, however I have substantially more than five pounds to lose. You always look great anyway!
