suggestions to get rid of post natel belly three years on!!

[lozzawoo]

I have tried everything to get the excess skin back in shape and still feel very unhappy about the way I look. Stretch marks too. Any suggestions???

mmm know this feeling I could do with loosing a stone or just over too though

excerise is the only way i fear.

I have steadily put on weight soince i was pg with ds2 and fear excercise is the only way to go.

Exercise isn't going to make the skin spring back. Once it's stretched, its stretched. You can only firm the underlying muscles and diet to reduce the covering of fat over those muscles.

I know... I have been trying for 14 years. I am 5ft 8in and weight 9 and half stone and still have loose skin/muffin look-alike hanging over my jeans.

Oh and yes, i do exercise. I swim twice a week and I run 25 - 28 miles a week. I do sit ups too. I have amazing abdominal muscles that I can feel... all sharp ridges etc. Its just that they are covered and out of sight... under my baggy skin.
