I'm at 146 now. I've been at this weight before and was a lot thinner. I also didn't have 2 kids at that time. I'm not at goal, I still have a ways to go (I'm short as well short)

Anyway, I'm starting to wonder if my stomach is more skin than fat. But I'm not sure. Without going to a doctor right now, is there really anyway to tell how much of my stomach is fat and how much of it is skin? My last pregnancy stretched me to the point where I couldn't stretch anymore. I was actually induced because my daughter was growing so rapidly. I had to have an amnio and the doctor said in 20 years it was the hardest one he's ever done. He poked me 3 times and then finally decided to go through the placenta because my daughter was just taking up that much space he couldn't get any fluid. At the end, my stomach didn't even look like skin anymore, I was so stretched out it looked like clay!

    The skin on the back of your hand is what skin with very little fat attached to it feels like.

    Does your stomach skin feel like that?
