Women with double belly rolls...

So I need some inspiration with women who have lost their double belly rolls. I have attached pictures of what mine look like. This is after 30 pounds lost, and I'm curious as to how much I will have to lose to make my top roll disappear.

I'm extremely self-conscious about my stomach...especially when one doctor grabbed on to it and said "Whoa, got a bit of a fat tumor there, don't ya?" Yah, never saw him again.

I'm always looking for new friends and supporters as well.

    Mine looks pretty much the same as yours does. I have lost 47 pounds but dont see much of a difference in that area. I do elsewhere though. I do know that even though I dont see a change that there is a change since I was fitting into size 18 pants and now am wearing a size 14. I have been incorporating some strength training into my workouts using 5 pound weights and also use kettlebells. I am noticing I am losing inches faster now. Feel free to add me. Oh all my pics are on my profile. The main difference I see is my face.

    Dont' have pictures but my are worse than yours... And I got scars. My stomach looks like a sack of potatoes. Sadly, losing weight just made it worse. my surgeon said I should have plastic surgery next year.

    But you know the amazing thing - it barely matters. I am dating an awesome guy and he doesn't care.

    I look good - I wear spanks and just own it.

    So I'm not helpful in the experience department, but I wanted to comment because I want to watch the thread and see what responses you get. I don't have the top roll, but my belly sags quite a bit and I am VERY self conscious about it. I have been told by several people that if you do fat burning cardio and lots of core workouts, it will go away but there may be some skin baggage leftover.

    Anyway, great job on the 30 lbs! I would love to have a new mfp friend/supporter if you want to add me! :)

    What an awful doctor!! I would have kicked him!!

    I hate my stomach too! It never 100% went away...but it is...flatter? I have pics on my profile but only in a tankini I bought I might wear this summer. I was once 312 pounds and I am now 185...there should be 2 pics on my profile from when I was heavier too. I was in HS in both of those, one in my prom dress & one sitting under a tree.

    When standing facing a mirror my stomach looks flat. When I lie down it is flat. If I stand sideways I can see it isn't super flat and I could loose more...but I don't think I will ever be perfect.

    I'm no woman but

    I think u have done amazing so far
    Don't worry about how much more u have to lose just relax and continue working hard and eating well

    I think if u drink water regularly and do the workouts In particular I'd say the shred u will b near Ur goal

    Maintain good diet and focus on timings of Ur meals try not to eat late on evenings

    Keep going

    I had similar problems. I now have a slight bulge on the bottom and am showing more cut/muscles on upper area and side. I've been at it for 1.5yrs. I have also gone from 198lbs(before joining MFP) to 151lbs. I eat clean(90% of the time), I cardio daily, do strength training 5x a week. Between personal trainer(3x a week, 30 min sessions), Yoga (daily, 60 minutes per session), Spin class(3x a week) and running (3x a week)...I have seen DRASTIC improvement(s).

    mine took around 45 to lose...kinda. After 3 kids the lower one has enough skin to still have a little flap, but it is getting less flappy.

    HANG IN THERE!

    Take up belly dancing. There are moves that tone like nothing else.

    A fat tumor? You must be nice, I probably would have knocked him a good one for saying something like that to me. I can't tell you when it will go away, but I'll follow this thread to see the replies you get, I'm curious too.

    I have the same problem and it's taking a while but not lost that much yet. I'm wondering if the lower bit (kind of flappy and stretchmarked after pregnancy) is going to go away but I think the upper bit, just under my ribcage is getting better. I have to say - great work so far - keep it up!

    Thanks everyone for all the comments and support. I just need to keep going and pushing myself. Getting married in September and a little scared that my belly is going to make me not find the perfect dress.

    I don't have a pic of my stomach either but it looks just like yours and I am super self conscience of it. I have just started the 30 day shred and I'm hoping after a couple Rounds mine while slm down some. I have exercised thru losing weight but have not toned. Hoping at this point if I start toning I can smooth it out even if by a little.

    I don't have this problem, but I do have a weird thing going on the bottom of my stomach... a vertical line below the belly button? What's that all about? Anyone know? :P

    Ah...the double roll. I certainly haven't lost mine, but they feel different.
