Ok, I had my daughter 6 weeks ago...she was my 3rd & my 3rd c-section. I started walking about 2 weeks ago when I can fit it in. My stomach gets huge when I am pregnant but I do not gain anywhere else...well my stomach has went down towards the bottom & is nice & flabby but above my belly button, I still look round like I am pregnant. Has anyone else had this problem & shouldn't my stomach be gone down by now???? I have had 3 people ask me when I was due in the past 2 weeks & each time my 6 week old was in the carrier right next to me!!! HELP!!!

What can I do next?

it's only been 6 weeks, give it a little more time. All my life I walked and was able to loose weight that way, but after kids, something happened and it didn't work for me any more. After my second child I was walking in the morning and in the evening 7 days a week (for months)...absolutely no results. I had to get a little more serious about it and get to the gym, but that included babysitters, time and money. It's a sacrafice and takes a lot of determination. It doesn't sound like you have much weight to loose, so just hang in there, and remember it's only been 6 weeks.

good luck

ZUMBA is a great way to exercise and lose weight. The lady who teaches at A Time To Dance in Murfreesboro lost 80 pounds and went from a size 22 to a 6. She looks great and feels great. You can just go when you can make it and it is awesome. They are fun and a great workout. You can find more information by E-mail the instructor at ____@____.com.

It has been 3+ years since my last child. They weren't c-sect, but my stomach is doing the same thing. Flabby at the bottom and round at the top!! I honestly look 8 months pregnant!!! Tired of it!!!! When I find the time to do TaeBo, it does honestly help. At first you will be so sore, but it is fun. I can see a difference with only a couple of workouts! Hope it helps!

Oh and in case you are wondering, It does help, but I just can't seem to find time most of the time due to tons of travel. That's why I am still fat..lol My daddy used to say NO! Not Fat!! FLuffy! lol

I couldn't help but respond here. I have had 4 c-sections, and believe it or not I am back to a size 4. Walking is great, it burns calories, and releases stress, but what you really need is something that is going to trigger your stomach muscles to start stregnthening again. When I started teaching StF 2 years ago, Zoe was 2, and I had been trying to lose that last 15 lbs for 2 years. With in4 months, it was gone and my shape was back. I eat a very healthy diet. I do not DIET, I eat well. And ABSOLUTELY NO SODAS!!!!! I can not stress this enough. And hun, if this is the third and only 6 weeks later, you are going to have to give it a little more time. Now I still have a pooch I would pay to lose, but honestly, a size 4 again? I never thought it would happen. I am even smaller now then after the 2nd child. Good luck, and if you drink cokes, STOP! have a nice day.
