Anyone have this issue? When I'm standing I have that little pouch in the tummy or a lower case "b" and while I don't like it, it isn't awful but then when I sit or am driving etc. it turns into a pouch and sticks out. Am I alone here? Does it eventually go away?

    I think it does go away -- I remember when I lost weight before at some point noticing that when I sat down that blob over my lap no longer appeared. I really can't wait for that day but the pessimistic part of me says that it will be the last thing to go.

    I think it's more of a loose skin problem...

    Right?! Haha i could suck it in and pass out and it would still be there when im sitting because " sucking it in" doesnt help at all!

    I think whomever commented about the loose skin is on to something. Ive noticed that now moreso than before my 3 nine pound + babies its a problem. My hubby is tall and lean and doesnt have a shred of anything like this. Im jealous :)

    I have the same issue. I've come to the conclusion that no ones body looks all that great while sitting down. Even my very in shape, low body fat boyfriend has a "pouch" and rolls when he sits down. I think the way we sit kinda pushes everything down.

    I agree with both comments! Mine looks ok standing up but when I sit down or bend over, gross! I don't think mine is fat anymore, I really believe it is excess skin from my pregnancy. I'm hoping since I lost the weight rapidly, the skin will tighten up over time...

    And that is why women feel they can't ever measure up, cause they compare themselves to a picture that isn't even real. This picture is beautiful!!!

    Totally, which is stupid because I don't know ANYONE, who doesn't have a little bit of a roll when sitting, even if it's just skin. It's unrealistic to think that you won't have a roll when sitting, IMHO
