PP Weight Loss lol

Not sure if anyone cares about this anymore but I was wondering if anyone's tummy did not snap back into place? I am still 10lbs above pre preg weight but I am 100lbs, so I don't really desire to lose anymore weight. However, I was hoping my "pouch" would disappear.... I mean it has gone down a TON but there is still excess saggy skin 
Anyone else in my position? Is it normal to have just excess skin? My mom thinks it's because I gained 70lbs with DD. lol

Re: PP Weight Loss lol
Yea, a part of me is like worry about it when I am done having kids, I want 4 so I am not even halfway there. I am really lazy too but then I see some other even lazier girls and their tummies look better at 1 month PP than mine at 17 mos PP. lol So I was just wondering what the general consensus is, if you did get it down, did you work you as.s off? I tried to work on it somewhat but meh got sidetracked after a while. There are so many rules, I couldn't keep up.
C/S has an effect on it snapping back into place? Congratulations on losing that much weight, that's excellent!
You looked pretty tiny in the pic I saw last Summer so I was hoping you'd chime in with a solution...NOT getting preg again bc I have also thought about that lol.
I didn't really do anything. I left the hospital below my PP weight - I never gained much due to morning sickness through 28 weeks. I lost a shitton of weight when I was BFing, but that only lasted for 6 weeks. When I stopped BFing, I started gaining the pounds back slowly. When I got PG again, the pouch was definitely still there. I'm hoping I can get rid of it after this kid.
I've been going to the gym and have actually gained pounds but I'm losing inches around my stomach - which has always been a little pouchy no matter how small I was in general. But I think I still often look pregnant. I also feel like I don't want to work too hard on it just to ruin my hard work by getting pregnant again. We were thinking of TTC after the summer, but I've been thinking of starting sooner because I feel like if I get close to having the body I want I'll never want to get pregnant again.
My sister has 3 kids. Her youngest is 20 months. She was probably a size 12, maybe even more, right before getting pregnant with her youngest. She's been really dedicated to the gym and weight watchers and is now in a size 4. Her stomach doesn't look pouchy either. (It inspired me to start working out actually.)
I know this might be hard but MIL and SMIL have the bodies of models, their tummies are flat...anyways, they said to start working out at 6 weeks while your uterus is still contracting. Don't know if that's the solution but gee thanks for letting me know when I was 1 year post partum lol.
And I BFed until 9 mos, then lost weight...it kept the weight for me.
I can take apilates class at work. I know yoga bc we learned it growing up but I don't really do it. The pilates class should be twice a week and it's on the clock so I don't mind but do you think it will help at this stage?? I didn't go when I first came back to work bc I was pumping 3x a day and that took up 2 hours out of my 7.5 hours here... sooo I guess I just never got into it. People have recommended running but I never really had any endurance so I don't see myself running at all.
Do they help?
I started this home workout and was feeling the burn, and it was okay but I don't think I was improving. As you said whatever muscle I had on my tummy =fat
It looks fine on most days except one piece swimsuit days lol
I think they help with my personal opinion of myself. I usually feel better in general if I've done something physical for me. I don't think they do much though because of the consistency ordeal.
