C Section overhang adding to over all weight

[SisterAgatha]

I’ve lost around 2.5 stone. The rest of my body looks how it used to when I weighed around 10lbs less than this though, I am back in a size 14.

So is this because the excess skin etc Is adding to the overall weight of me, but say 10lbs if it is concentrated in the overhanging belly skin?

I wouldn’t have thought you’d have a full 10lb of fat on your belly only-google what 5lbs of fat looks like, its not likely to all be on your c section overhang. Perhaps you’ve gained a little muscle here and there?

By the way it’s possible to lose the majority of the c section overhang. It took me a while and wasnt fun but I managed to lose mine mostly

It’s just so weird because the rest of me looks exactly the same when I was a lot less heavy than this, but the scales show a good 10lbs more (I’ve done MyFitnessPal For years so I can look at photos of what I weighed going back over about 8 years!)

Maybe 5lbs is a bit more realistic though! And perhaps the rest of me has just changed fat distribution after kids?
