Im really unsure if i should try and lose extra weight or if i can now try and add some muscle. I am doing a mix of cardio and weights everyday, have been for over 2 weeks now and although i feel stronger, more healthy...i still cant shift any weight on the scales. what do you think?
I have a terrible belly button and i have been overweight as a child, hence my skin isnt very tight.

I'm in the same position as you, I don't think I've any more weight to lose but want to get firmer. I am on day 10 of a 30 day shred to see if that makes a difference and am then going to decide what my goals are. Your belly button looks fine! (mine is really frowny lol!)0

I'd just tone that up. You don't look like you have anything more to lose, your tummy looks sweet and gentle, which is a nice thing for a tummy - but toning is never a bad thing.
You have a lovely tummy, dear.that sounds creepy doesn't it - but it reminds me of a child's tummy. I think some laterals to enhance the waist wouldn't go amiss but I don't feel you are carrying unwanted fat there.

Wow...honestly , you look great! Nothing wrong with your belly button at all!! Have you tried 30 day shred? It has a lot of fans and could help? Or lifting heavy? There are loads of threads on here about it, lots of women swear by it! I have more weight to lose still but am considering doing more weightlifting with heavier weights in a bid to tone up more.0

Your belly looks great!
If you want to tone up a bit - fine, but you really don't have any weight to lose!
(I'd run around in a bra all day long if my belly looked like yours!)0 -
