Okay so I had my last child 5 years ago and for the most part I feel fine about the way I look but for some reason I carry all excess weight in my stomach region. I have a desk job, so the thing that frustrates me the most is that some of my customers, not recently tho, have asked me when my baby is due, or congrats when are you due???? If I could reach across and slap them I would! People that know me don't think that I have anything to worry about, but I'm very self conscious about my "extra" around my tummy. So I guess my question is, how can I get back my flat stomach that I had before children?? I know it's possible with hard work and dedication but I need some advice!

    I can relate. I had my last child 6 years ago. It's possible to get a flat tummy again but it requires effort and hard work.

    You have to concentrate on lowering your overall body fat by eating at a deficit. Meaning that you can't spot-reduce, obviously.

    Incorporating some cardio like HIIT, sprints or kettlebells would help to shed the layer of fat over your stomach.

    Everyone's different but until I was somewhat closer to 20% body fat, my stomach still wasn't completely flat.

    Just keep at it and eventually the stomach will become flatter.

    Good luck.
