oh thank you thank you thank you!! - im glad to hear im not the only one still with a jelly belly and saddlebags - good to hear no amount of exercise will get rid of it though I was beginning to think i'd have to hit the gym real soon to try to get rid of it phew!

Leah has hip dysplasia in her left hip, which basically means she has a shallow hip socket so the ball doesnt sit in there properly. So the harness she is in forces the ball into the hip joint so the ligaments etc can strengthen and keep the ball where it should be. So at the moment she cant straighen either of her legs they are kept at basically 90 degrees out to the sides, she can move them slightly from the knees down so can do little kicks outwards but the top of her legs are fixed.
