I've had that mom pooch for 8 years and 4 kids now. How in the hello do I get rid of it? I can get everything off except for that.

Sadly, we can't spot reduce. If we have pockets of fat in places, they will only be reduced the same way as our overall body fat... with a small calorie deficit over time. But strengthening those muscles can do a lot to improve our appearance and posture.

This is a great thread that shows what is (and isn't) possible in that area. You might find it encouraging:
