Do you think this can go away with exercise?

I'm looking to see if anyone here had a similar stomach after baby (#2 for me) and if theirs went away. I'm pretty convinced I am going to need a tummy tuck but I'm starting p90x to see if that will help at all.


I can't get the pictures to post but you can kind of see it in my profile pic and if you click on my name there is 2 more.

    I can't see the other 2 pics cuz your profile is private but your stomach doesn't look too bad too me and I'm sure u will see awesome results from P90X.

    Im still working on my tummy so I cant say just yet, but I have seen a lot of pictures on here of women that have lost the tummy so I think it can be done. Some have better genetics and may find it easier to lose that tummy, but I think you will do just fine. :flowerforyou:

    Your's is not as bad as mine, trust me. I've had 2 kids too.

    I'm 15lbs from goal now so going to start strength training soon as cardio is just not cutting it anymore. I'm *hoping* this will help me tone up as much as possible.

    good luck with p90x :smile:

    I think it will improve with exercise and weight loss. I had twins when I was 20 and my stomach looked a lot worse than yours but it improved (tightened) and I am happy with it now.

    My tummy is worse (3 children, 2 of them c sections because of size) and in just a few weeks with hard core working out with Billy Blanks Fat Blasting Cardio Tae Bo dvd, I have seen my belly go from fat and thick to chubby but loose, so if nothing else try that too and it was cheap (walmart probably $10 or so). Its working for me, it should work for you, no matter my or your genetics, because all of my family is big, and I am the only one to even try to get smaller, and like I said, it is working already!

    and my youngest is 9 1/2 months btw so I am in the same boat as you. Feel free to add me

    My baby is 6 mos old and I have lost 15 lbs in the last 8 weeks. My stomach has gone down tremendously. Still working on tightening it up.

    Exercise alone won't do it. Combination of nutrition, rest, exercise and discipline will.

    Thanks so much all! You have made me feel so much better! I know P90X is hard but I'm SO determined to do it all the way through. I figure, what do I have to lose?

    POUNDS IS WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO LOSE DUH, I thought that was why we were all here, lol just kidding, not trying to be mean just trying to make it a joke, I like to add humor to as many situations as possible cause I'm living proof that laughter is the best medicine in the world!!!!!!! I mean I've had to learn to laugh at myself, since everyone else was, or they would know about how depressed I always was, and I'm still working on that now.

    According to your ticker, you're looking to gain weight? I don't think that's conducive to your goal.
