    If it's just extra skin after 5 years it would have gone if it was going to. If it's a roll of fat then leaning out may help. Usually a real "gunt" is that huge blob of fat that sits in the lap of someone who is morbidly obese. It's a wonderfully descriptive term! :bigsmile:

    Never heard the term nor does it seem like a good description given the descriptions on this thread (assuming this roll is on your belly not down between your legs), but I agree with this ^^. If it's just skin and still there 5 years later, it's probably not going away. If it's fat, then it can be lost. Use lotion and stay well hydrated while losing to keep your skin more elastic.

    The term is a combo of gut and the C word that gunt rhymes with. To be used correctly, as explained by the low life guys, it's when a woman is so large that her belly fat hangs down to her thighs, in essence the gut and the other word become one.

    It's not very nice to start with and I wouldn't use it to describe the little bit of baby belly most women who have had children have left. I've heard that described as a "pooch" or such not as a gunt.

    @_Bob_ -- LOVED THAT! hahaha


    I call mine my 'joey pouch'. (after the baby kangaroo)

    I carried two babies full term - 8lb13oz and 8lb14oz... I think I will always have that extra bit of skin. I am basically as close to having a 6pack as I will get, and I still have it.

    If I wear low rise jeans, you can't really see it, but if I have pants that cut just below it, or through it - it is VERY noticeable... at least to me!

    I am trying to learn to love it - because I love what came from having it. :-D Kinda like I'm trying to love the mom boobs... but that's a WHOLE other thread.

    Ok I'm not gonna dance around this ppl. If you got like an orange peel lookin thing hangin down there, yes it will get better if you lose weight, but if it bothers you bad you just will have to suck it up and go get a tummy tuck. TRUTH

    Amen!
    Personally, what I had was way more than the little "pooch" some women get. It was a pendulous abdomen from 3 pregnancies which did both skin and muscle damage and then losing a bunch of weight. For a vast number of people, no exercise & no amount of time are going to make that go away. Genetics, age, skin elasticity... these are all factors. In my opinion, if after a reasonable amount of time you've gotten some improvement and it's just plain not getting any better despite your best efforts AND you can afford it, get the tummy tuck!
