I'm waiting for someone to post success pictures for this too as it's also my trouble area. My mother told me I'll probably never get rid of it, but I'm determined to have a bikini body :-).0

Funny you say that about your mom, because mine says we (my family) are built that way so we carry it there. Talk about discouraging!

Kettle bell swings, bring your arms and leg to meet in the middle. Both have helped my stomach to decrease a lot, especially the awful overhang that was belly fat.2 -
I hope it goes away.. I'm so saggy in the middle0

aside from being 100 pounds over weight, i also gave birth to 5 children, 5 separate pregnancies. i had this flap (no pics, it was too gross and embarassing) that hung over half way to my private parts. there was about 3-4 inches of "hang" there. i know, gross.
ITS GONE! from day 1, i did elliptical and walking, but the last 4-5 months, ive been running, and that has really made a difference. my belly has no hang, what so ever. i have current pics (well, about 2 months ago) of my belly on my facebook page if you want to take a look.
just keep doing what your doing, and if your not jogging, start jogging... made a HUGE difference for me!3 -

I wish jogging had helped mine, but despite doing some heavy running off and on over the past 3 years, it was never the ticket for me. Strength training and heavy lifting have made a world of difference, though. I can now wear low raise pants again! I still have a ways to go, but I went frmo a size 6/8 to a 2/4 and I only lost about 3 pounds, a lot of which was in my belly/overhang area. The rest seems to be loose skin...0 -

This was a couple of months after I had my 8th child and the follow up pic was after losing a bit of weight, no exercise i
Just calorie controlled, of course now I want my waist line back, so exercise it is3 -
Oh gosh excuse the boobs:blushing:1

It's the absolute bane of my life ! I hate it , I reached my goal weight and it was still there so I kept going I don't know how much more weight I can afford to lose because I've already lost pratically all my boobs and I want to keep some shape and since you can't spot reduce it makes its tricky ! That and my doctor has told me not to lose anymore weight and now he wants to monitor my weight with regular check ups !
I have noticed an improvement recently I must admit , I have been running and heavy lifting so hopefully that's doing the trick but I have also been still losing weight
I'm just hoping I can still lose it without losing that much more weight
But once I know there's hope I will keep struggling on
Well done to everyone who has got rid of theirs!!0 -
5 children!, 4 children!, 8 Children!!! I should be able to lose from my 1 child then.
You all look great BTW. Thank you for the inspiration1 -

Mine wasn't as bad as some, but it was pretty bad.
the left was after I lost about 10lbs. You can't see how bad the overhang was, but it was bad. I couldn't even shave my bikini area, because I needed two hands to lift the belly off it. The right was about 2 weeks ago. I have lost a total of 37lbs. same outfit!

Me too, I still have another 8-10 lbs to get to goal, but, I'm concerned that's one area I won't be able to fix. My spare tire now looks like a deflated skin-nertube hanging over my belt when I wear jeans but no shirt.1

Diet is a HUGE part of the belly area. I know that when I'm eating right, my belly area looks and feels MUCH better. Also, if you've been large at one point and have lost that weight , it may be that your skin has streched out and the overhang is your skin. No amount of exercise or diet will remove that. Just remember though that being fit doesn't mean being skinny. Flexible, strong and stamina. Hope this helps!0
