I am 21 yrs old. I have two beautiful kids I love to death but they left me with extra skin on my tummy.. that over lapping a little right above my hip bones, and I don't really have a belly button anymore and stretch marks. Anyone have this an lose the weight and it look better or is this really just permanent. Please share pics, stories, tips etc?

    NOT gonna post photos... I have extra skin that sags.... it's right below my belly button and I can get it to shrink a bit, but it's never disappeared. :P I've learned to cover it... :)

    Hey everyone!

    I have been the skinny girl my WHOLE life. People used to ask if I was anorexic, and I NEVER struggled with weight. But Almost 5 years ago I had my first daughter and there went my body. I managed to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight a year after she was born, but there were stretch marks everywhere! Unfortunately I slowly started gaining the weight back and then I had my second daughter a little over a year ago. I've managed to lose 20lbs, but I gained 5 of those lbs back. My overall goal weight is to lose another 30-40lbs. I know I can do it if I just stay motivated, but that's where my weakness is. I'm not very motivated to give up the food I love or get off my fat butt and exercise more. I just need to keep trying and keep in mind why I want to lose the weight.

    Doesn't it just annoy you when there are women who pop out babies and shrink right back down to their pre-pregnancy weight and have absolutely NO stretch marks?! LOL.
