Flabby, wobbly & not forgetting cellulite buildups that cannot be exercised out except for lipo!

I envy those 17-18yo teens who are slim and can wear spaghetti stripes and tight shorts. No need to exercise also can have firm muscles.

I have seen chio mummies doing that too but still, age shows and can’t really be compared to the teens.

oh different..think for someone never gave birth but same age as us will look better I think..gave birth younger or older maybe also different as skin elasticity will be better when younger..skin will sag when old..see till what degree, that is quite a sad thing to go through for women..10 years some more positive thinking la..can go through all these meaning longer life..happy thing.

catching up sleep..woke up at 5am then went back to sleep

I read that massage can reduce cellulite.

I just rmbrd cellulites are not easy to rid by those TCM kind of massage for relaxation. It requires more than 6 mths’ of deep tissue massage as I rmbrd having a lot of sagging tummy & ugly lines after my last birth. Was then frustrated bcoz I can’t find suitable pants - either waistline fits & hip don’t or vis-versa. That’s how I went hunting for deep tissue massage

I usually ignore muscular young people these days. Only impressed with folks who join me for my hour-long exercise everyday (and they can be in their 70s easily). It is easy when you are used to the exercise. Used to peter out when exhausted but the point of daily exercise is to sweat, and not to be exhausted. There is a very fit 70 or more year old chap who swims everyday while I walked. He is my role model! :udaman:

I used to do more than 10K steps daily and yet I do not lose any weight. Will be lucky if I do not gain any. These days lazy days without any brisk walks, I will clock about 6K steps. With brisk walks/jogs, I will clock about 12-14K steps. Lazy days are getting more frequent now. :razz:


Too lose weight, I really need to watch what I eat and go for guasha and baguan to get my sluggish circulation going to improve metabolism.

But brisk walking does improve my overall mood, I feel much better, sleep better, and get lesser body and headaches. So whenever I feel lousy, I will just leash my dog and go for a long walk.

Ah, walking a dog is ano motivation! Nice.

Try eating rolled oats every morning. It is effective for losing weight as well as lowering cholesterol.


Coupled with walking more than 10k steps daily, even my legs are slimmer.

Oats can be effective in loosing weight but the flip side is u get hungry faster in the day & if u can’t take the hunger pangs & eat in btwn meals, will defeat the purpose. The other side effect is the body gets drier & some ppl get constipation.

They will be labelled \"rolled oats\" rather than \"instant oats\" or \"quick-cook oats\". NTUC carries a few brands, and I'm sure Giant does too. I usually get the Fairprice housebrand (red & orange plastic bag with clear centre panel). I haven't figured out how to insert a image yet.

But.... Oatmeal is not nice... :sad:

And I don’t feel satisfaction eating oatmeal.

Whenever I take Quaker’s instant oak (red packaging) for bfast, my heart tends to beat very fast and I get hungry before noon.

For the quick cook Quaker (blue packing), I don’t get side effects and it seems more filling! But I lazy to cook.

When the small pot of water boils, I feel like putting in a packet of instant noodles instead of oatmeal.
