I had a C-section with my daughter 8-8-08, and I fear I am going to be battling not only the horrid stretch marks for the rest of my life BUT ALSO the awful 'pooch'

Now. I KNOW it is POSSIBLE to get it flat again its just going to take some, OK....A LOOOT of work.... I'm in need of inspiration again.. and everytime I think the belly looks better- I take a harder look and it's still the same ol' flabby stretch-marked THING:grumble: just in a smaller package. I am losing inches, but definitely not gaining any definition in that region......

I don't even know what to do to help it anymore.

SHOW ME YOUR BELLIEEEEES!!!! :smokin: :smokin:

    Wish I could show you my belly but it looks like there are left over tire tracks lol. I've lost most of my weight but I'm looking to do a tummy tuck so I can get some of it back. It'll never be the same with the stretch marks. I like to call them my battle scars :laugh:

    I'd love to see / hear some success stories, too. I went 39 weeks with twins and would really like to get toned there.

    I had a C section, 20 years ago tomorrow actually. At my thinnest I was 116lbs, and that damn C section "fanny pack" hung off my 21 inch waist like a nightmare! I did have abdominoplasty in 1997, (might be the best 4k I ever spent) and even at the uber fat weight I achieved over the years (have been as big as 300# at one point), the fanny pack C Section pooch has not returned, no hanging gut, thanks to the abdominoplasty.

    So, not to be discouraging, but my reality was, that even at the weight of 116lbs, with a fairly decent set of abs, and a 21" waist, the sack of skin was still there!

    Ive had 3 c-sections, 1993, 2002, 2004.
    I no longer have a pooch. I have a deflated balloon. *sigh. I am so ready to cut this thing off.
    I wanna see pics too!!!

    I am sorry, but I had a tummy tuck so I would be showing you a "cheated" tummy.

    ME TOO!!! 4 c-sections, 45yrs old, and an extra 50lbs does not make for a pretty tummy. After I burn off some of this fat, I'll def need help trying to TAME the POUCH!!!

    I would love to see some photos too. After 8 years I still have the nasty extra skin and stretchmarks. Both my girls weighed over 9 pounds so that probably didn't help me much. With clothes on it looks okay, but bikinis are definitly out of the question.

    My boys are 2 1/2 -- never a dull moment in the house! But sooo much fun. How old are your twins?

    Also, I was cut from belly button down instead of the "bikini cut"... I know that's the "old fashioned" way, but anyone else that has this problem and overcome it is welcome to inspire me!!!:flowerforyou:
