Saggy mother skin!

Hey everyone! Anyone struggling with trying to lose the stomach "sack" after giving birth?

I've had 2 kids and have been told there's no way to get rid of it. Have I been told wrong? Anyone have any tips on how to lose it?

The best I can tell you
is to do as many crunches(sit ups)
as you can. You can also try
dancing, Belly Dancing is nice for
stomache muscles. -Rina

Without surgery I don't think you can, I lost 80 lbs in a year and my stomach will never be right again, even my new doctor saw it and couldn't believe I had never had kids. I think that with a mix of overall weight loss and things like crunches, and of course, over time...some of the skin may shrink back, but no more bikinis for me.

I don't actually need to lose weight I'm probably a little underweight for my height, I managed to lose the sack after my first child but I did that by crash dieting, which I really don't wanna do again lolz. Thanks for the response, I guess I'll work on those crunches

I have three, who are no longer kids, and even when I was down at a good weight I couldn't get rid of that horrible, loose pouch! I'd like to have some tips too!

Hi everyone - I've got the same problem. I've been dieting and working out since January, and seeing results, EXCEPT in the lower stomach! I will also add crunches to my routine, see if that will work. Thanks for the tip!

I had a hanging pouch after having my kid, and then I filled it up with a cake baby. I don't know what it's going to look like when I lose the weight I want to lose. I'm sure it won't be pretty.
