Moms who've lost belly fat

I've lost almost 20 lbs and several inches everywhere. The one huge challenge I have is with my baby belly...it's shrunken a little bit, but in proportion to the rest of my loss, it's taking a long, long time.

My child is 1 1/2, and we'd like to start trying again in the fall, but i want to get as fit as I can for the summertime!

Anyone know of any way to shrink this baby belly at all? I've very active, doing bootcamp, spinning, running and yoga each once a week. I'm also eating 1260 calories per day (sometimes going over that intake if i've worked out).

Any suggestions!?!?

Thanks!

    If the belly is where you are holding the most fat, it will be the last to go. Inches fly off my chest and hips but my waist takes twice the amount of weight loss to lose an inch.

    Just keep going and it will go

    When you say "baby belly", do you mean you are trying to spot reduce fat, or do you mean the lack of muscle/skin tone in the belly area post-partum? ...the muscle you can work on, the skin... yeah. Some of us just have to get used to tucking that in, or start saving for surgery. :/

    I have four children and their ages range from 24-2. (Yeah, I know) anyway I've noticed that weight comes off from where your body wants it to. It will come off though. Mine isn't completely flat yet, but its on its way! It WILL happen if you keep eating at a deficit, and keep healthy by exercising. I've only recently started 26 minute abs (found on youtube to use in addition to Zumba and weights) and hope that this will help with toning and definition to become more visible as I lose more of the weight. Good luck to ya! :flowerforyou:
