I am not sure how to even explain what I am complaining about. It is my stomach, it is the weirdest thing, I will notice that it is looking so much smaller and then the next thing I know I have two stomaches or it looks that way, one up top and one below and I actually have a waist. Then is one big stomach in a week or so and then it is two. It is driving me crazy. I am not sure if it is because I am losing weight and so my body is adjusting but what, but it is depressing! :grumble: :sad: :grumble:

    I've gone through that! Mine is much more normal now. I think sit ups would still help though :smile:

    Well it is a relief to know that this is/has happened to somebody else. I just joined the 100 sit-up challenge so maybe that will help. Thanks!

    Okay, Dave and I am not looking for a quick fix but my stomach is the one thing I absolute hate about my body. My abs have no definition or tone. I am sure three pregnancies didn't help but that can't be my excuse. I will just keep working!

    PATIENCE has never been my virture, lack of patience has gotten me in trouble many times. However, I am motivated and strong so I will get there. :smile: Thanks for your encouragement!!

    Hi Amanda,
    No you are most definitely NOT the only one, sometimes when we lose weight our bodies do some shifting, in odd sorts of ways as you can see.:blushing: :wink: You'll notice more shifts as your body continues making changes and then you'll notice it all falls together and you will find the body you are looking for under it:flowerforyou:

    I think many women wish their stomaches were flatter but even small slim women don't all have flat stomaches some of it is individuality we all look very different but that's a good thing. :wink:

    Trust your body DOES know what it is doing because our bodies are pretty smart!:wink::flowerforyou:
