  • My girlfriends sister lost 150 lbs and of course had to contend with the sagging skin and belly issues everyone has commented about. I would like to share what her trainer suggested. She bought pallates (I think thats how you spell it) work out series ,and incorporated the pallates into her workout schedule 3 times a week along with going to curves. It helped her so much to tone and build muscle while she lost the weight. It worked for her she looks just awesome and has been on a maintenance program for 2 years now and has only fluctuated 10 lbs.

    I hope this helps someone

    One word for you: CARDIO. Lots and lots of CARDIO.
  • Oh yeah - one more thing, Mama Mia and everyone else: Do NOT do anything that makes you feel humiliated. Posting photos of your fat belly will make you feel bad about yourself. Doing stuff like that is a thing of the past. From now on, you're going to respect yourself and treat yourself like a dear friend that you protect and wont tolerate ANYone talking crap about (especially yourself!) You wouldnt EVER say stuff like that to ME, "Your disgusting stomach looks like play bloop from the toy store - its disgusting." Right? And you don't even KNOW me. So - move away from being mean to my new friend Moma Mia!

    Got it? <3
    Agreed This is your moment of shining ...we are in this together ..lots of work and determination ..We can ALL get there !! ((hugs))

    wow ty for sharing this !!! Will invest in this as well :)
  • I feel your pain....read on, (this was a post I put up the other day.) Forget the sit ups and crunches...

    I went to see my doctor today, who seemed impressed with my progress so far. This meant alot to me since my doctor is one of the fittest people I know and he's not fond of FAT people :o( I have lost a total of 31lbs lost since December 2010, which he compared to losing a BABY SEAL! lol. He suggested I up my calorie intake to 1400 though. That means a slightly slower paced weight loss, but, I think I'll take the advice of a guy who's done a ton of marathons and competed in an Iron-man competition!
    Also, as far as my baby/ cesarean belly, he said I could do sit ups till I'm blue in the face and it won't solve the problem. (a flabby apron of overhanging blubber) lol

    His solution was every other day, add 15 mins of muscle work after 30 to 45 mins of cardio. Forget the arms and abs, he said to concentrate on below the waist line. Targeting Thighs and Buttocks which are the two largest muscles in the body. An increase in muscle here means more calorie burning power overall and eventually a shrinking belly.

    He said he could wiggle his finger 24 hours a day and try and get a skinny finger, but it would only grow stronger with fat still around it. (I.E don't bother with the crunches and ab based work outs) You need to work the whole body to lose the weight. I'm hoping this works.
