Hello all,

I am feeling a lil discouraged - I am 5'2 and a Mummy of 2

I work out 7 days a week with P90x doubles and running on the treadmill and push ups and sit up but, my tummy is not dissappearing?! help! is it really! possible!!!

    Your tummy meaning fat or extra skin? If it's fat that is hanging around your mid-section, that can be remedied with changes to your diet and exercise plan.

    If you are referring to loose, excess skin, there's not much you can do without surgery if it's severe. I had a tummy tuck 10 years ago after a 90 pound weight loss. The surgery did nothing to remove the fat around my midsection, just removed the excess skin. My photos are all public, so you can see the end result.

    I am also Mommy to an 8-year-old daughter. :)

    Yes, unfortunately, if it's loose skin, surgery may be your only option. I literally had enough skin that it would hang over the top of my pants after losing 90 pounds. I had a few complications with healing after surgery, hence the weird scar on my stomach, but it is still much better than what I had before. They literally removed about 8 pounds of skin!
