    mine has gone flabby too.
    It was like a firm set jelly before I lost weight, now it's all squidgy, like a mashed up jelly

    ^This. I'm hoping it firms up as I lose more.

    Yep. I call it squishy. Someone on this site said to keep up with the core exercises and drink a lot of water...

    ughh YA! its my worst spot, its like the more weight i lose the worse it looks, lol. i have 2 kids and its just a mess ( a whole big bunch of strech marks). Imma probly do the tummy tuck when i get down to my goal weight and maintain for at least 1year. then I'm going to cover my scar with a pretty new tattoo.

    mine always flappy for past 25 years no matter what exercises I do. I am not overweight. I have been trying for past 25yr to get rid of it after 3 children. Any suggestion????

    LOL. My tummy has been flabby since age 14, so I can't even use pregnancy as an excuse! :-)

    I think mine looks pretty decent for all the weight I've lost. I don't think it will ever look great; I have way too many stretch marks. I have purposely lost only about a pound a week all this time so I could avoid losing muscle mass and having saggy skin. I want to give my skin as much time as possible to tighten up as I get smaller. I also drink a lot of water and moisturize every day. I think losing weight slowly is the thing that has made the most difference.

    I've lost 60 pounds on WW so you can imagine what mine looks like! I still rock a bikini at the beach!

    Yeah, I think it was because the fat cells were only half full. Think of a stretched out water balloon with half the water removed. The last 10 pounds or so I lost finally thinned out my belly/midsection fat deposits enough for the underlying muscles to show through. My stomach looks and feels a lot firmer now.
