Women with double belly rolls...

wow... you lost 30 lbs! Congrats. I have 100lbs to loose and am impressed and inspired with how far you've come. I just started this program... so can't give you any advise... just wishing you the best in your struggle!

I've gone from 208 to 165 and I still have the same shape as you, its just smaller. I don't remember having this issue in the 140s so we'll see Great job, keep it up!

u are not alone, you need to walk, walk, walk and do lots of core strength exercises. Get out and do cardio every day

do not just focus on the diet alone - it is not enough to keep your skin tight otherwise you will need to get all the skin cut off when you have lost the weight

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.

Wow! That takes a lot of confidence! you go girl! and also try heavy lifting! It could help tighten some of those areas!

What an as'shole doctor. I would have given him a piece of my mind. Anyway, I really wouldn't worry about it at all! I have a couple of close friends with the same thing and they told me that first they lost weight and just toned themselves.

First of all, congratulations on losing 30 pounds! Lots of people can't do that.

I would advise you to lose weight until you get to a nice healthy weight. Then afterwards, you should do ab exercises and tone your stomach. Don't worry about it at all until you get to the weight you want to be at. No surgery is needed at all. Some women above said that you need a tummy-tuck or that it stays on forever. Not true. Unless you don't plan on toning your stomach. There may be scars by the end, but those will go away after a while too and don't even look that bad. Just hang on girl! You've come a long way.

I have similar issue.

I have the same issue even after losing almost 130 lbs. I do cardio 5 to 6 times a week and some ab exercises. I try not to let it get to me, but since I was heavy for the majority of my life until now, I have to expect to have some skin issues. I chose not to have surgery and will keep up with my work outs with the hopes it shrinks more. Keep up with the great work and you will see improvements along the way. Dont get discouraged and take things 1 day at a time.

I have to agree with you. I would lose weight and not really see a change to the shape, but I have to say after staying away from a lot of "processed carbs" and sticking with lots of veggies, lean meats,beans, and watching my sugar, I have noticed a difference in the 6 lbs I lost, versus other times when I've yo yo'd at this weight. Diet does so much in getting rid of the "fat" that hides in there. Plus I feel really good, not hungry, and satisfied. I know I might sound preachy, but it is certainly helping me!

I still have what I call a "top" stomach too. It's gotten smaller, but it's there. Since losing weight, it's kind of saggy and floppy. Just need to keep at it I guess.

I have similar issues. I lost a lot of weight in the past and doing ab work (crunches, planks, Pilates) really helped with toning up my tummies. Cardio alone won't tone it up. Good luck, congrats on the 30lbs already lost, and I gotta give you props for posting your pics. More courageous than me. That's awesome! Also try to make a conscious effort to contract your stomach muscles all day long. Not only will it tone it up but you'll will walk and sit with great posture.
