    I would love to know too my starting weight was 185 I'm down to 154 and I feel like my belly looks the same everything else is just smaller :O I've been running, doing weights, and aerobics classes at the gym. But I guess it will just take time. :s It's only been just over 2 months for me. I am determined to have a less flabby belly. It will never be perfect since it's all stretch marked anyways but I would love to not have a flap from my c-section incision. :s

    I have 4 kids: 8, 6, 5, and 16mos.
    I've been working out steadily for the last 2 1/2 months now, and I HAVE noticed a change in my pooch. However, I'm afraid the skin will never be the way it was pre-kiddos. ;) When I do my planks, the ab muscles are tight, but the skin hangs a bit. Oh well. No one notices when I'm upright. ;)

    I'd like to say I hope to be positive and say yes its doable. Dont get me wrong im not expecting a firm 6 pack after having 2 pregnancy's both sections and one a twin pregnancy but I've been at this since November and been strict with strength and toning since Jan/ Feb and i can really see a difference in my stomach- it is no where near as 'pokey out/ droopy' as it was before. I do pictures measurements monthly and have used my own cardio work along with Jillian Michaels and an now working on the insanity program.

    I just want to walk around on holiday and feel good about how I look, not a perfect figure (not going to set high hopes as a tummy cant be the same after being cut twice surely?) but proud and be how I am after 3 children. After all there the best gift ever and the odd mark on your body is a proud reminder of what you went through to bring them here. :-)
