I hate my post baby flabby belly.

AIBU or shouldn't it have gone by now?

It's been 15 months

I really hate the way I look.

I've tried exercise (buggyfit) and swimming but it hasn't made any difference

Okay I'm probably being shallow but I would love for it to go

(Can tolerate the saggy boobs!!)

DD is 23 months, and I'm still flabby Grin to be fair though, I've made no effort to rectify it- I'm fine the way I am.
I don't think 15 months is unusual at all, and if you have the drive to flatten it, I'm sure you'll succeed Smile

:o it's been 5 years and 8 months and mine still hasn't shifted!

4 years here and I'm past caring Grin

No amount of gym makes much difference. Wobbly tiger bread belly.

On the plus side I can stick it out and pass for 7 months pregnant. Guaranteed seat on the bus Wink

15 months- try 4 years.

Yes, tis true. I actually weight more now than when I gave birth to him at 28 weeks.

I learnt to cook. Now I am flabby.

I put it as a sign of achievement. I also blame my genes, as my Nan (who I adore, only member of my lot I still talk to) was a svelte little thing before kids and size 16 to this day afterwards. I look like her double. She also wished it on me- everytime I ate like a pig as a kid, she'd tell me that I wouldn't be skinny forever. Everytime I bemoaned my lack of tits as a teenager, she would advise that, come babies and breastfeeding (only breastfed first, which made me skinniest ever with massive tits, couldn't with prem baby)they would grow.

She was right. At 18, I was size 8 with 32a chest. At 30, and two kids later, I'm a 16 with 36DD.

Bloody genes.

Forget it, life's to short, eat some chocolate- my new mantra is "I'd rather die fat and happy than thin and miserable"

6 years here.
I have also given up trying to fitness it away. I figure I just need better pants Grin
