  • So I have a question about my body shape

    I was wondering if my stomach area will ever disappear. I have a LOT of weight in my mid section. After I had my daughter everything went south,. So it is now below my belly button. I was wondering if anyone has had this and does it go away? I know that anything is possible . . . .I guess I just need to hear some success stories.

    Thanks
    Gina

    does this help any? I am not quite at goal yet, gotta get that tummy flat! But if I can get from that extreme belly fat to this, so can you. This is after 9 months work, not exactly current anymore, actually looking a tad better than this now. I am exercising a good bit and so should you! You can do it!

        Yes, wow thanks. You look GREAT!
        I guess I have been this shape for so long that I don't even remember what I used to look like. I know that is sad, but it is true.

        Thanks, I am just ready to be thinner so I am really taking a look at what I look like. I didn't have a mirror in my house that showed below the shoulders for YEARS and this is the time my body went out of shape. When I finally put a full length mirror in my house, I went OMG what happened to me? Then I have been hard on myself ever since, lol. So this will be a GREAT Journey and a LOT of happiness in my Future!!

        Thanks, your pics are an inspiration to me!!!

            I have the same problem as you. The majority of my weight is around the my stomach. My legs and arms are tiny in comparison.

            I've done some research and got some great advice from forum members especially momtomany1 the lady who posted that amazing picture, and I'm about to start an exercise regime to combat that.

            I've just got hold of the 'Callanetics - 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours' DVD and the 'Callanetics Countdown: 30 Days to a Beautiful Body' book and there are a lot of exercises you can do that will help you. The book is brilliant as each section concentrates on different areas of your body.

            I'm also starting with weights.

            Good luck on your journey
