Location: My own little world :) | So I had a baby about a year and a half ago...before I was pregnant I was a bit overweight but not horribly bad. I could probably have stood to lose twenty pounds at the most. While pregnant I didn't get any stretch marks until the last two weeks and I was so sad so now I have a few right around my belly button and just a few in the love handle area and they aren't deep big ones. I've been running and working out a bit to lose weight because I am not going to start the vicious cycle of getting fatter and fatter as a new mom having babies but I'm finding that I am getting smaller but my belly is super flabby. Like it seems smaller but really jiggly like a deflated balloon or something...I know its so sad! Is this what I can expect for the rest of my life or when I get to my goal weight will it probably be gone? Or do I forever get to have this flab?? Ah the joys of motherhood :) |

Location: Texas | Your body will never be the same. Sorry. I have the same problem. I think it's because my skin isn't as elastic as other people's. It's just reality. But I'll take my flabby skin and two boys over a tight tummy and no kiddos.  |

Location: Iowa | So I was very spectical of what I am about to say but once I tried it (I caved because they kept nagging me) and it actually works and I now love it and everything they have! Check out http://www.myitworks.com/shop/ I used the wraps just once...and they make a gel of it too but it firms the skin now I not only look toner without lifting but all my stetch marks and cellutlite is gone as well. It is not dehydrating by any means!! They actually encouarge water intake, so it is all natural lotion. I used everything from the Hair Skin and Nail, which is my favorite, to the face wash, Green, which is amazing too, to the defining gel and even the fat fighters. Plus everything is safe to do while pregnate!! Feel free to message me if you are interested, I can get some at my loyal cutomer cost!! See just check out some of the results!

| Unfortunately, it may be something you just have to live with. Before I had kids I could be 40 lbs overweight and still have a flat stomach. Now, after having 2 kids in 2 years, I can be at my ideal weight and still have a belly, ugh. The kiddos sure are worth it though and I wouldn't change a thing!! |

No clue how but the Itworks stuff did help with helping tone my stomach after having my son. |
