    Just keep losing fat. You can't spot reduce.

    Just keep it up. It would be awesome if we could decide where the fat would go from, but until that evolution we're stuck just doing our best and letting it go from where it wants.

    What the others have said. We all store fat in different places and it comes off in different times. For some, the last fats to come off are on their hips. Some its on the front of the belly, others on the sides (the spare tire), others its under the arms. And there is nothing we can do except keep on losing the fat. Spot reduction works as well as wishing for unicorns to magically appear in your back yard.

    But the good news is we also tend to make what we perceive as our biggest flaw a mountain when everyone else sees it as a molehill. Or might not even see it at all. We are our own worst judges, and our own severest critics. Cut yourself some slack. And give it time. It'll come. It'll come.

    C- sections, especially 3 of them in such a short time can be very difficult. I bet you'd get some good advice in the pregnancy message board, or even on Babycenter.

    But here's some other women's experiences:
