Ok, so I have to admit that when I look in the mirror I'm slightly happier with what I see.......but what about the baby pooch? Ladies, some of you know exactly what I'm talking about. That little post-baby pooch that you can't seem to get rid of no matter how may crunches, sit ups, etc, that you do! Does anyone know how to at least make it look smaller? I'm not looking for a quick fix but at least reduce the appearence of it.......Any thoughts or solutions that do not involve cosmetic surgery?

Thanks :flowerforyou:

    I think some of us might be genetically gifted with the pooch. For me, even when I was in high school and weighed 115 I had my pooch :ohwell: I'm working with a trainer and he has me doing all kinds of different abdominal work, not just cruches. You have to find the exercises that target the lower abdomen.

    Oh gosh, I hear you!! I hate mine!!! I do 200 ab exercises a day, and I STILL have one!!
    It's really upsetting!! :sad:

    If you figure this one out, by all means share it! ... LOL I had a pooch long before I had kids. And I had abs of steel just never a six-pack (pout). I was even ordered by a doctor once I got pregnant to STOP doing anything that would contract my abs because they were too strong and would cause harm to the baby (go figure).

    I gained allot with my kid (14 yrs ago) and have been struggling with for sure that one area. It is better and so is my other problem area my "bat wings" (arms). The one thing that I have found has helped in Kettlebells, if you find a class that includes swinging them (as I don't know where you live) and using them as weights you will notice the pooch get smaller. I may never have my teenage flat abs back but I tell you I sure am happier and have a smile when I look in the mirror :) Good luck!

    I have the same problem and Ive tried a few different low ab exercise's and I honestly think the only way to get rid of it is a little nip tuck.... Which i will never do. any more ideas would be wonderful.

    I have had a c-section, and my pooch is horrible. I am assuming mine will never go away, even when I get to goal. It is horrible, and I am afraid it is going to look even worse when I lose the weight. But a tummy tuck is not an option for me.
