in Health and Weight Loss
Anybody else here a mom trying to get rid of that awful little deflated belly saggy pooch thing left from having your baby? I have a 6 month old daughter. I just started dieting/excersizing about a month ago, I've lost 10 lbs
I'm 20, 5'0, currently 119 lbs and goal weight is pre pregnancy weight which was 105. If I could find either some moms or someone with stats like mine that'd be awesome :)

    I'm a mum to 3. I've had saggy belly problems since I carried a lot of water with my first daughter. Midwife actually told me I'd probably never get rid of the sag! Nice eh?! I lost all my pregnancy weight doing weight watchers a few years ago but gained it all back again due to health problems.

    You're doing really well to have lost 10lbs already! Keep it up!

    Me too. I got it after my second. I see it sags when I suck it in so I almost want to stay fat lol! I'm sure building muscle will help.

    I'm a new mom to a six week old little girl. I just got the go ahead from my doctor this week to get back into working out, so here I am. I have 30lbs of pregnancy weight to lose (gained 60 total by the end of the pregnancy... too much carb loading!), and a lot of ground to make up in my fitness. I know it will take a lot of time for my body to get back to anything resembling normal, but I definitely have a belly "flap" of skin and fat that's driving me nuts and I'm hoping I can try to tighten that up. There's not much I can do about stretchmarks and that weird puckered look to my skin, but I need to at least be able to fit into some of my clothes again, because I can't afford to buy a whole new wardrobe!

    I have 3 kids, all c-sections, with the youngest having just turned 1. I've been working for the last 3 weeks on losing the baby weight finally. I'm already down 7 pounds! I am combining weight watchers with MFP and its working really well. I would like to reduce my flabby belly but I have no expectations of it being gone completely.

    I have 3 kids and part of it is that you just have to give your body time to recuperate.

    Take one day at a time, keep active- whether it's at the park, a dance, house work, walk to the shop.... Just keep moving, don't stop and you'll be surprised what difference it makes!
