I have four kids and am starting my journey over .... Again! I keep seeing amazing success stores, but I havent seen anyone with a big baby pooch before?!?! Am I really the only one that has a hang of a lower belly? I just am wondering if it is possible to lose it without surgery? I really would love a flat Jillian michaels stomach but as much as mine sticks out I am concerned that isn't possible! Has anyone had one and lost it? Would love inspirational photos!!!!!! Thanks!!!! Have a blessed day!

    I used to hate my lower stomach because it was noticable in everything I tried to wear. It was like I had two stomachs. But I have noticed that as I have lost weight that it is going away. So I don't have much of a flap. It is more so fat right now. But I know that my stomach will go down with the more weight I lose.

    I'm in the beginning of my journey but I just want to assure you that you are not the only one. I have a horrible "before" photo that shows just how terrible mine is. You aren't alone!

    You aren't alone at all! My stomach stretched like you wouldn't believe when I was pregnant with my son. I'm 23 and I won't have any surgery due to the high risks. I'd rather work it off naturally, however, it makes me sad that I will probably never have the stomach for a bikini...ever :(

    You are not the only one, and if you use the "search" function on the message boards, you will see plenty of examples of women who've gotten flat abs again after having the baby belly we all know and (don't) love!

    You are not the only one... and I keep seeing pics of all these bellies that are so cute now, and I will just go ahead and say there is no way on this earth my belly could ever look like that... ever. I am not trying to be a downer, but I know what my belly looked like before babies, post babies, and now... The top part is HUGE!!! My ab muscles are separated from the top to just below my belly button, so my belly looks rounded and pregnant all the time. Then it gets much smaller, but I have a huge hangdown of skin. Ugh... I am still gonna wait and see what it looks like after some hard working out, but I may eventually have surgery to sew my muscles back together and get a tummy tuck at the same time. We shall see!!!
