I've been pretty active and been going to the gym often. I feel a difference however I can't seem to get rid of the "extra" skin (pouch) from my son who is now 9 months. I want a tight stomach!! Any tips would be fantastic!!

    Give it time. Some of it will rebound. However, some of it will not. My sons are now 25 and 24 and I still have loose skin on my belly, and it is nice and flat and I'm at 18% body fat. However, it's part of me and doesn't look that bad so I don't worry about it.

    How do you find how much body fat you have?? I've been curious about that!

    The best way is with calipers. I did mine with measurements (there are calculators online where you enter your height, weight, and measurements - but be careful to find a legitimate one).
