If you lost all of your pregnancy weight...

KMLP · January 2010

Is your tummy still flabby? I am back down to my pre-preg weight of 115, but my tummy is still so much looser than before. Anyone get their flat tummy back? Did you do crunches or what?

no flat tummy here....

star173 · January 2010

I refuse to answer due to my jealousy of your your pre pregnancy weight. Stick out tongue

Yes, my tummy never was quite the same- and I lost 8lbs more than my pre pregnancy weight. I didn't try to work my abs out all that much though.

I don't think it will ever be the same, especially around my belly button. I did end up with a few stretch marks so I know there is no hope. It's flat, but there is just extra skin I can't do anything about.

My stomach had gone back to normal by the time I got pregnant again (8 months pp). It was the Shred! I'd lost the weight before I started the Shred and was still a little softer in the tummy, but after a month of the Shred, my stomach was looking good.

I'm actually 13-15 lbs below my PPG weight...but, I'm super flabby in tummy area. I don't work out...which is probably my problem.

Mrs.AKP · January 2010

I'm below my pre-pg weight, and my tummy is definitely still flabbier. Ugh. Nothing seems to be helping.

citygirl_ · January 2010

I lost all my preg weight PLUS 28 lb but my stomach is so freaking ugly still.. flabby, extra skin, stretch marks... blech.

Vrbka · January 2010

yes i'm down 20 pounds lighter than i was pre pregnancy.. but my stomach and Love handles are still big and driving me crazy! i would love to know what people would do.

cicija1 · January 2010

Yeah my finally went back to what it looked like before but it took a year and I did bunch of tummy exercises This website actually has good once https://www.pregnancy-info.net/topic_other_topics.html But now I feel like it all went to nothing since my belly is getting huge again!

I can redo it, I hope!

LaLaSweets · January 2010

I use to run and kick box before being pg. I still did light kick boxing throughout my pregnancy. 6 weeks after giving birth, I started up again. I now have my 6 pack back but my skin around the belly button was stretched out so that's a tad loose. It still bothers me though. I also wore that stomach band right after I gave birth for 3 months and I nursed

SarahTx5701 · January 2010

I now have a lovely skin flap thing. I dunno. my tummy was always flat when I stood up, now there's this...lump. UGH!

But I haven't tried to get rid of it....hoping when I do start, it'll go away!

loveumike · January 2010

I am back to my pp weight but my stomach is soft. I have just started doing some core stuff (planks, bridges......etc) and will make my core/belly the focus over the next couple of months.

The butt on the other hand is very flat and very flabby. I HAVE to work on that!

shanpren · January 2010

My stomach looks pretty much like it did before (it wasn't totally flat though). I work out a lot and do core exercises in between sets of other things. And a decent amount of cardio.

VTbride05 · January 2010

I lost it and for awhile my stomach was flabby, but I just cut back on what I was eating and tried to fit more cardio into my day.

akiernan · January 2010

My tummy is still flabby after losing the weight. But, even after losing all of the baby weight, I'm still grossly overweight. Embarrassed

Ravings Rabbids · January 2010

I have a flabby tummy still. However, I have noticed that if I do crunches on a regular basis it's a harder flab. LOL. Does that make sense?

violetvirgo · January 2010

i got mine back thanks to a pt and PILATES! lots and lots of pilates.

eta: my hips will never be the same

CelticWife · January 2010

Yup. Still flabby and crunches haven't helped yet!

HellsBelle08 · January 2010

My stomach is actually pretty flat, and I don't have any stretch marks, but the skin looks loose-like kneaded dough. It's not too pretty!

Jb&Jb · January 2010

yes. and all of my friends are the same way. they warned me it would be that way but i didn't believe them. it doesn't help that my C/S incision got infected and all the BS they had to do to it in the months following left one side a little flabbier/saggier(?) over the incision than the other side.

ETA: I work out 5 days a week doing cardio and weights but no crunches. i refuse to do stomach exercises (lol). maybe that's my problem.

Don't get too jealous. I'm short (5'3").

MEJ2008 · January 2010

I'm below my pre pg weight, and definitely still have gross flab.

mrsdiamonds · January 2010

Another one for under pre-preg weight with a flabby stomach

this, minus the stretch marks. I have a fairly toned tummy but it's still not the same, and I have extra skin and a mangled belly button.

Laroogirl · January 2010

To me it is pretty much the same. I have never really worked out much more than walking and some yoga/stretching. But I have never carried any extra weight in my midsection either. The skin may be slightly looser, but overall I am ok with how my stomach looks. Of course, it is going to get all stretched out again here soon!

EuroChick · January 2010

I am ten weeks pregnant and still below my ppg weight from DD BUT my body has changed and my stomach is not as pretty as it used to be. I was about to start working on that and bam I got pregnant. Alas, one day I can exercise again.

*NNO* · January 2010

It has a slight bump above the c/s scar. I have like a 2 pack of decent abs at the top, and then the bottom half is a little bit poofy. I am not impressed.?

lisaNov3 · January 2010

mine is pretty flat now..but def not as toned. takes a lot more effort to keep it tight now. perhaps if i had the time to workout like i used to it would look pretty much the same...but i don't..sigh

Daisy77 · January 2010

I'm 5 pounds less than my pre-pg weight, but after 3 kids I'm still packing some baggage in the front. It was never flat to begin with, but I do a lot of cardio and strength training to tone what I do have. That seems to help with any flabbiness:)

102503Natalie · January 2010

Well, I've gained about 5 lbs. with the holidays, so I'm definitely not feeling fit right now, but hopefully a few weeks/months/er, years on the treadmill will help that.

Since I am all torso, I think my stomach managed fairly well with the pregnancy. After I had Anna, I did crunches with my ab roller for a few weeks, and my stomach was back to how it was pre-pg. However, I was steam mopping my floors the other day, and I felt a jiggle - I didn't even have that after I had Anna.

So, yeah, my jiggly ass is back into a workout routine again. Summer is right around the corner, and we want to bring Anna to the beach!
