    Potentially dumb question here, but here goes...is the weight loss (and extra sweating) just due to getting rid of excess water or water retention? and if so, does it (water/weight gain) just come back at a later time? i ask because I am a super sweaty exerciser anyway, and want to know if it is worth the agony of EVEN MORE sweat ;)

    I saw another post of someone saying that it was just water weight. This could be true. I am just seeing results now and am not complaining on where it came from. I may change my mind later if it comes back. Good question though.

    I have one that I just started to wear and I was wondering if it really made a difference other then giving me back support.... After reading all your stories I think I'll keep wearing it... I have that c-section flap too and I can't get rid of it!!!!!

    Now that I have hit my goal weight, I have seen more results from the midsection than ever before. The summer has SOLD me on these belts and I am convinced that my c-section area has shrunk because of it. That area is the only part left now that needs attention, but it is a millions times better than when I started.

    I did buy another $5 one to alternate. There is much wear from the first one.

    Good luck to you all. If I ever have abs of steel I will take a picture to post. Don't hold your breath though. :wink:

    I'm using it for maintenance. I have the type with velcro closure from ****'s Sporting Goods. I've lost 52 lbs over the last 2 years through a strict diet and mild exercise. I drink a lot of water at work, when I get home the belt goes on before my late afternoon bike ride, walk or mild workout. I hit my target weight and am still consuming a strict diet, and continuing the routines. The belt is unbelievable. I have recommended it to a few other people. I would have liked to have found this site when I started.

    It could be just water weight, but, I notice when I wear mine I am holding in my tummy. Whereas before I would let it just hang out. I think the constant holding in of the tummy is also contributing to the loss of inches. I also have the C-Section pouch. It is not gone, but the belt helps. I have 2 of them because I have not found a high waisted one. So I put 1 on the lower part of my tummy & the other one on the top part of my tummy. It actually works out better for me because I like it tighter on the bottom than the top.
