    Congrats on the weight loss! You did great.

    regarding the belly...same here sister except I never had kids, just fat for to many years. The only way to firm it up at this point is to go under the knife if you want to make it flat. I have been heavy weight lifting for a year now and the belly has not changed all that much. The rest is awesome, belly not so much.

    Plastic surgery is probably in my future.

    lucky duck. mine looks way worse, I'm younger and haven't had any kids so I can't even use that as a reason. lol

    Same here except I'm 25 and have no kids. I also haven't lost as much as you but I have the loose skin on my tummy. I've lost almost 70lbs in 3 years and while it's gotten tighter over time, I know it's not going to ever be taught and firm and perfect without surgical intervention. I'm learning to love my new shape and size!

    Thank you so much Polishprinsezz for posting a pic of your tummy after losing 100lbs:-) although I have no idea how you looked at your biggest, I now feel good about my journey as I always feared that my tummy would be ugly. But after seeing your picture I can definitely look forward to a tummy that I can live with:-) thank you again for putting my mind at ease:-)

    That is actually quite encouraging. While you may see that as flawed, I see that as something I can live with. I've lost nearly 100 pounds total, and have a little less than 100 to go, so I can only imagine where I'll end up... Thanks for brightening my day!

    I have a inch or more of hang and the area below my belly button has developed a seam. Though I'm leaning towards trying to love my belly too. 42 tomorrow with a 16 yr. old and a 3 yr. old here. :smiley:

    Congrats on the awesome weight loss! I bet you feel great about the new you. That's alot of babies lol you are a brave woman. Be. Proud of what you have accomplished. Even though you aren't asking, moving forward squats are the best for working the mid section. (And a ,few others lol)
    Stay fit!!

    Thank you. My muscle tone feels quite flat and firm. I just seem to have extra skin. I hope it shrinks a tad more with time. I would need surgery if I want it any flatter.
