Looking very flabby

[carolyn01]

Hi everyone, Ive lost 21lb but honestly don't think I look any better. When I stand in bra and knickers, I look even more flabby than before. Im 11st 12 and was 13st 4lb. I use a slendertone belt daily but its as if everything is looser (cant be just loose skin as haven't lost that much weight). Does anyone else feel this?

Yes!

I seem to go through phases where it looks much looser and then it springs back and so on it goes...

They say you need to give yourself a month for every stone lost.

Love Mini xxx

Oh good, maybe it will shrink back. Mind you Im 44 now so it will probably take time.

Are you doing any exercise? After I lost my first 2 stone I felt really good and then I lost the next stone and I didn't like the way my body had changed and my belly looked more flabby than it ever had. I have since taken up martial arts so I am constantly working all the vital muscles and I'm a lot happier with how it is looking.

No im just using my slendertone belt. Too be honest Im really lazy but am willing to do some exercise to tone up.

I was really lazy before I started karate and was only going to do one class a week. I now do kickboxing too and do 5-6 hours a week. I couldn't imagine now NOT doing it. Find a structured activity, preferably one with a goal to aim for to keep you focussed. I am 4 belts off black belt and that really keeps me focussed
