    That's a nice change, in only two month's time. You give me hope! Seems like I'm losing everyplace but my belly. Do you lift?

    I'm just starting this site to eat better and get healthy! I have had 2 children and 1 c-section and have the hanging belly also. I had to have back surgery almost a year ago a discetomy on my lower back and am getting ready to start pt so for now I am starting with eating better and hopefully with time i will be able to do the excersising portion of it but I still have pain with my back and my left leg still has a numb feeling down it. Trying to stay positive I can do this for me and my kids! Also I have a question what is ALPHA T25?

    Thank you :)
    Also I have a question what is ALPHA T25?

    Focus 25 is a workout program by Shaun T. the creator of Insanity. It's intense but only 25 minutes a day and brings results if you work hard for them :)

    Is there anyone who has a VERTICAL Cesarean scar that has improved?
    Right now, I have buttocks both fore and aft, as well as an overhang. :sad: .

    I've never had a c- section but had my gallbladder removed when i was pregnant & appendix removed 2 weeks after delivery. I have several incisions on my stomach that look indented, especially the one above my navel. Of all the things wrong with my tummy area (stretch marks, belly hang, scars), the indentions (scar tissue?) from the surgeries are the worst.

    I have a serious belly over hang as well. Too many abdominal surgeries. I do know when my body fat got below 15 then the over hang was barely noticeable. I won't ever get that low again due to health issues but I sure want it to go down so I feel more comfortable with my husband.

    Can I/we see? Not an overall pic but a small one? I have gallbladder surgery on Monday as well as a lap for endometriosis :( I'm scared.

    Two c-sections and I had my second child 4 years ago at 40 years old. Just find an exercise program that you enjoy doing! I did Jillian michael's extreme shred and shed, 30 day shred, Insanity and soon to finish T25. A healthy diet and exercise will tighten it up! You can do it

    I have a horrible sagging overhang too, I don't think the lose skin on mine is going anywhere but if it's not filled with fat I'm hoping it will look better! Long way to go.
