my belly just appears to be getting bigger and bigger.

Is it just bloatedness?
What do you eat? If you have a high salt diet that can cause bloatedness and water retention.

no, i think it is because i am losing weight elsewhere, but not on my belly. so it is looking bigger in comparison.
andi can fit into my size ten jeans, but have the most awful muffin top at the front. nothing at all a the back, where the jeans fit beautifully. just at the front end, it lookslike , well, a muffin.

well, if you're anything like me you get a bloated tummy whilst on your period..perhaps it will flatten out now...

I'm losing weight and, at a stone lighter than I was at Christmas, I am Mrs Flabby! I think I have extra skin now and bits that seem to flump out!

the extra skin will be resorbed, to a certin extent. keep at it, and well done for getting so far.
