Advice from those who have lost 4 stone

[Jamrollypolly]

When did your stomach noticeably shrink? I've lost just over a stone and can feel a difference all over but less so on my stomach. I regularly go to the gym and do about 6-8 classes a week including spin, toning, Zumba and body combat, plus DVDs at home when I get time. Will I ever loose the flab?

i have lost 4 stone and am 10lbs from target. My stomach has always been my worst body part and now 2 kids later I am under no illusion it is ever going to be something I show off! Am just happy that it's smaller than it used to be! I think I would have to lose another 2 stone and more exercise, both of which I am not prepared to do so I am trying to learn to like what I have got

I've lost 3.5 stone & although I'd like to lose another stone, my stomach is pretty flat (most days ). My eldest DC summed it up nicely the other day with 'mummy your bottom is still a bit wobbly but you've almost got a six pack' I do exercise 3-4 times a week including Insanity classes which involve lots of planking & abs work which obviously helps.

Between my 1 1/2 stone sticker and my 2 stone sticker I dropped from a size 20 bottom to a size 14. Yes, the 20s were falling down a bit already, but I hadn't wanted to get any new ones - until they LITERALLY fell down in public.

When I went to buy new ones, I tried an 18...too big; a 16...too big. Then tried a size 14 and I was astounded; they were tight but I knew I'd get into them easily within a couple of weeks.

They stayed perfect for the next stone and a half dropping off (admittedly much looser fitting which I prefer to skin tight).

I've lost 4 stone 9 so far, just on 25 BMI now. My tummy was very present a stone ago and has only really contracted over the last half stone. I've obviously gone down the clothes sizes but felt my belly was disproportional to the rest of me.

I lost of my face, neck, shoulders, arms and bust first. I felt like a weeble for a while. I droped to a 34" D chest whilst still having size 18 hips. My hips are now a 12 but my bust has only dropped to a 32D so it didn't keep disapearing at the same rate.

I still have a wobbly belly but my tummy bulge now starts at the front after/ between my hips rather than being a layer that sits all round.
