So my little man is 18 months but my stomach has never bounced back and I'm trying to find some good exercises to help tighten it up. Any exercise ideas?

    I'm working on the same and my baby is 18 months too! Running is really helping me in that area.

    I think exercise can only do so much (don't want sound negative) but I've been in this situation after having big twin babies. It probably comes down to genes. I really hope exercise can help you. I opted for surgery to fix mine :(

    I think loose skin can be an issue for some. I have a four month old and I am struggling with loose skin from stretch marks. I definitely see definition in my stomach and it's significantly flatter, but I think there will always be some imperfections. We have een doing insanity and I am only 1.5 weeks in and it's done wonders for my body. I have toned up so much already.
