I'm really down about my belly. I look pregnant and dreading summer clothes. I think there are a few issues going on. I have some diastasis recti, but I've had that for 16 years since eldest born, so it's not all caused by that. I now have a layer of fat on top of that. It appeared when I hit 30 (metabolism? change to where fat goes on?). I have mild PCOS. Also, bloating which gets worse throughout the day. Also I'm 5ft 1 so it looks worse on me.
If you managed to reduce your belly without exercise (can't cause of DR) - HOW DID YOU DO IT?!
I'm wanting to start getting ready for the summer by at least attempting to reduce it by a little.
My BMI is 24 and I don't want to lose more than half a stone, it's just the belly.
Is it true you can't 'spot reduce' fat? Am i resigned to tent dresses?

To think I'll never get rid of belly fat put on after 30? Does ANYTHING work?!!
