So we're working on de-flabbifying. Great! Need a visual? It's NOT pretty.

Remember being a new mom, and feeling exhausted from carrying an 8 lb newborn? Look above. If you're 30 lbs overweight, you are giving a 2 year old a piggyback ride all day, every day. No wonder your knees hurt!

Go ahead, get to know your inner 5 year old, then let her walk. It's okay, she'll be fine. Honest.
