I had a beautiful baby girl 10 months ago and I've lost a lot of weight but my stomach skin is still flabby and loose. Will it return back to before I had a baby (flat stomach) I have a few stretch marks but hardly noticeable. What do I need to do b/c sit ups aren't working its just tighting up my muscles under the fat?

Aerobics. The fat has to be burned off. Yes, sit ups tighten the muscles underneath the fat. Find some kind of exercise that will take your heartrate up a bit.... not too high. A good brisk walk 30-60 minutes per day and being careful of high-fat/hi carb foods should do the trick. It will eventually burn off and the elasticity of your skin will tighten as well. Patience my dear!!

I have the same problem and my son was born march of 04. I've tried everything, and they say it's just extra skin from being stretched and they told me that It won't go away. So I'm not sure, cause mine is still here, and if you figure something out tell me cause I can sure use the help too.

keep doing sit ups, ride bike, and buy some firming lotion....those made by Biotherm and Christian Dior are an excellent investment...that might help....if it doesn't work at all you'll need a tummy tuck. I know that sucks!! I'm worried already about it.

I think you can but you're going to have to work hard at it. Try Leslie Sansone's Firm Up Fast workout it has an abs section and she talks about how she got rid of the pooch. Good luck and congrats!

Sorry, welcome to the world of motherhood...the skin is lose and it won't go back to the shape it was without a doctor and scalpel. You can get the muscles under the skin tightened, but the skin will still hang there. BUT you may be one of the lucky ones who will have their skin go back after a few years of working out.
