I recently had my babies 4 months ago, and only now am I trying to lose the extra weight. My stomach does not look the same at all. I really don't like it filled with stretch marks and flabby looking. Is there anyone that had twins and had a successful weight loss.

    I've had twins, and two more babies after my twins. I am down to my lowest adult weight, but my stomach still does not look great, but ok in clothes!

    Congratulations on the birth of your twins.

    I had my b/g twins 4 yrs ago. And yes, we have those excess skin. I had a hard time getting pregnant and don't think will never be pregnant again, so I am treasuring those "battle scars". I didn't gain enough weight when I was pregnant that I was my skinniest after I gave birth but that was history.

    Anybody can be successful at weight loss. We just have to keep our goals realistic. You are doing awesome for taking this first step. Good luck and enjoy those precious babies.

    My twins were born at 32 weeks and I was the same size when they were born as when my other two children where born full term. As you age, it takes a lot longer to get the weight off that is for sure. I was 35 when my boys were born. It took me a little over two years to lose most of that weight, but then in the six years since I have put back on 40 lbs. It will come off with diligence and hard work and hopefully your tummy will shape up as you shape!
