    Dont feel bad I have this as well as some serious bat wings as well. They are slowly shrinking but its been a long process.

    Bat wings is on the upper arms? You can see in my pic I have them too :( But I dont think they're SO bad. Least I hope not.

    Do a search on loose skin or sagging skin and see the hundreds of threads with thousands of replies that are all from people who are right there with you.

    Chances are, some of the people you know who's bodies you are envious of are also afflicted by this. But can they even do a plank? We all know you CAN!

    That is a very optimistic way of looking at it. I dont find plank that bad hard, at least not for the amount of time we use it in Turbo Fire. A push up is a whole diff story tho lol

    So, thanks to this thread, out of curiosity, I did a plank and looked at my stomach. Oh. My. Goodness!! BIG MISTAKE!!! Let's just say, having two kids has not been good for the midsection. I almost cried!!

    For those of you that have not done this....don't!!

    Go watch some exercise videos. Pay attention to the stomachs of all of the instructors. They all have skin that bunches during certain moves. ALL of them. Your skin will always be a little bit loose. This is a GOOD thing; you don't want to split wide open when you bend over, do you? No BODY is perfect. Be the best YOU possible and forget about perfection. You'll be much happier in the long run.

    This...I noticed it on my Chalean Extreme DVD with a couple of the fitness women...It was weird b/c they are so fit but when in certain positions their tummy hangs a little....Mine hangs alot but it's nice to know even in the fitness world they are not as perfect as I thought... :)

    This definitely happens to me, but hopefully it will go away over time with more planks.
