Loose skin/hanging tummy before & afters?

Verity1111 · November 2012

I have a relatively small stomach now, overweight, but not obese. I notice even when I suck in my tummy hangs some. Is it possible to fix this if I start to use weights and keep up cardio regularly? I am losing at a moderate pace, only 1lb or so per week. I started at 185/191 (depending because I got pregnant in between lol) and I'm 163.8. It hasn't gotten more saggy or anything, maybe even a little less if I'm correct, but I'm worried it won't tighten even a little. I don't mind that little bit of skin people have after they tone sometimes (under belly button), but I don't want to look like Adam Sandler in the hospital scene of Click. Lol. Is there anyone here who has before and after pictures of a similar issue?

You certainly can tone it up with aerobic exercises, plyometrics and strength training. Focus on exercises that work those muscles. Here is a useful link:

Thank you! :] I appreciate it. You (or anyone) think Jillian Michaels workouts would work? I have 30 day shred and Killer Buns & Thighs

You shouldn't have tremendously hanging skin unless you've lost like 100 pounds+ If you are young it might/can bounce back, but with age it is less likely.

I have that many stretch marks 100% almost looks like me. lol
My tummy doesn't stick out on the sides that way and now it isn't as far out, but it does hang in that manner.

I don't know anything about Killer Buns & Thighs (judging from the title, it focuses more on the butt and the thighs), but 30DS would certainly help! Definitely give it a shot.
If you're self-concerned about your tiger stripes (I think all of them are lovely, especially those resulting from pregnancies), I recommend Bio-Oil. It is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven tone. It's also good for aging and dehydrated skin. It's a little pricy, but a little goes a long way and it's nothing compared to those fancy creams that do not even work.

Good luck and take care! xx
