So I've been on MFP about 2 months... I've been losing fairly consistently with various methods of exercise and diet and am down about 25 lbs as of today. However, my huge trouble spot is my belly. I have torn muscles from 2 pregnancies and still look 6+ months pregnant despite being almost 9 months post-partem. I've been doing all sorts of crunches etc etc. Does anyone have any experience with this, or know of any exercises to help improve this drastically??
Any ideas would be awesome =)

    crunches and other ab exercises only build muscle under whatever fat may still be there.

    if you have torn muscles from pregnancies, I would advise asking your doctor what types of exercises will help you with toning those areas better, but remember that abs are developed with exercise, but shown with diet!

    it's just going to take time :)
