Flabby belly

edited March 3 in Fitness and Exercise
After losing most of the weight I have a flabby belly and it hangs. I need some advice to get it toned. I am 65 and don't want surgery. If nothing can be done I guess I will have to just wear a girdle, but I don't like that. I started at 155 and am now at 119.so not drastic but very unpretty. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks.

    Surgery seems to be the only 'real quick fix' which is out of the equation for you, as stated in your OP. You might want to start by reading this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1161603-so-you-want-a-nice-stomach

    The best thing you can do is wait. I know it is frustrating but in most cases you just have to wait for the skin to tighten up again. To help aid the process some you can use vitamin A and Vitamin C in either cream form or tablets.

    Thank you. I can be patient and the creams sound like a good idea.
