I gave birth 9 1/2 months ago. I gained 40 lbs with my pregnancy. I breastfed for the first 6 months. I've made an effort since then to go for walks and eat healthy meals. (I also did a concentrated 6 week, 5x a week, 30min each time work out effort.)
I still have 15lbs to lose and it's coming up on my son's 1-year birthday in a few months. The main area I need to lose the weight is around my belly. I hate it! The fat even folds over the edges of my pants--giving me this awful mushroom appearance. I haven't really been shopping since he was born because I hate the way I look in my clothes. It's been very frustrating. (After all, I thought for sure I'd lose all the weight by 3 months post-birth. Ha!)
My question is: how do I lose the weight in my belly? Also, if I do a ton of AB work, won't that just make the muscles below my fat really big--which would make me look even bigger around my middle section? How do I get my flat tummy back? Personal stories would be great!
