    I call mine my "lap flap" which makes my husband laugh. He loves my body, no matter what it looks like, though. :) I had a pooch even when I was thin, and now that I've gained like 80 pounds since high school it's utterly disgusting. I'm hoping to at least get it under control when I lose 40-50 pounds. I doubt it'll ever be flat but man, it's gross.

    I've had 2 C-sections also.

    Planks & Reverse Crunches & Cardio. Make sure you are tightening your stomach when doing these. Even if your lower abs are numb just focus on holding them in.

    As it has been mentioned before in the many replies, cardio is essential to burn the excess fat from all over the body, including the mid-section. However, your ab muscles are just that - MUSCLES!! So train them like they're muscles. I seldom do any ab work that does not include weights of at least 8lbs. Yes I still have a little fat on my mid-section area, but only because I'm not a huge fan of cardio (well, except running, which I can't do anymore, and cycling, which I only do from Spring to Fall (we get snow here in the winter months and it's too cold to ride). That said, I have extremely firm ab muscles that help keep the fat that is there close to the body.

    Never be afraid to work your ab muscles with weights ladies!!!
