Hi, I also had my baby 6 weeks ago and i'm a size smaller than before i was pregnant... i still have to tighten up a bit. When i'm walking round cleaning and doing laundry i tense my stomach muscles and hold for 10-15 seconds and just keep repeating, I also make housework into exercise by putting music on and dancing from place to place, when you bend down to pick something up do a few squats while your already down there, a gym ball is a must have...i lay on my back with the curve of the ball at the base of my spine and tense my stomach muscles while doing sit up's, you can also lay on your stomach on the ball an do push ups, i walk to the shops instead of taking the car and when im out hanging laundry i run round playing catch with my 2 older kids for 15 mins. Just be as active as you can, avoid the junk food and try making all your chores into some kind of exercise...it's worked for me. Good Luck.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Have the same problem. You just do alot of ab exercises. Crunches, yoga for abs, etc. are the best. But, many times its alot of loose skin. And only a tummy tuck my dr. said can remove that.
