Belly fat

[sasicas 194]

I have a c-section scar too....maybe it is that surgery????that makes it worse for belly hang???.....but have an overhang prob too.....loosing everywhere else but not there. boo. How in the heck are you people fitting in size 8 jeans? I am 176 today....and telling you no way I am fitting into anything that small......SUCKS being short! I am 5'1". Oh well inching along....that is why I put a little inch worm on my chart....sometimes feels that way "inching along"

From seeing the people at the WLS support group I go to, it seems that those with c-sections seem to be having the hardest time with their stomachs, I know it has caused mine to fold over. I was told by the surgeons before that sometimes those stomach muscles just seperate too much in pregnancy and don't always go back together. I have no idea how that works, but I would be shocked if my muscles were intact. I have back issues too which I was told has a lot to do with the muscle issues in my stomach, my back overcompensates for it. *sigh*

Those size 8s, I never thought they would come either, but they did, I just won't wear them because it gives me the dreaded muffin top even if I wear my "suck-it-ins" as I call them Stupid fat gut.

Just keep on working, you will be amazed at what your body will do over time

Comes down to age and genetics. Crunches don't really help as we lose fat all over with any form of excercise. It strengthens the muscles but you will not spot lose fat from around the waist. Just keep dieting and working out and give it time.

Sooo basically you are telling me I am screwed?! HAHA! I have the age in my favor but genetics, yeah, I'm screwed without surgery

I think I can fit into an 8 because I am tall. I am 5' 8" and so alot of my 180lbs is my height? maybe more spread out?? lol
