Tummy Tyres!!!

Help - my stomach has been very overstretched and has a 'saggy tyre' of loss skin hanging!! Does anyone else have this? Will sit ups help or will I need surgery?? It hangs over my jeans! Any help or tips would be appreciated as it is getting me down. Have a beautiful healthy baby though so am very lucky just HATE my leftover stomach!! Thanks xx

  • i have one - it still looks like im 3 or 4 months pregnant - my tummy sticks out as far as my boobs do! :lol:

    i've tried some gentle exercise, mainly walking and three months later i've managed to lose.......................... half an inch. :cry:

    its frustrating, but i'm hoping it will happen at some point!

  • Me too.....very attractive loose tummy skin and my lo is 4 1/2 months old! I am trying to do sit ups every day when I remember and have time!!! lol!
  • tell me about it my 11 year old told me the other day i have a muffin top!! i wanted to cry, you can always rely on your children to make you feel better
  • i have awful tummy tyres too! nothing i do will make it go away. ive been blessed with a saggy belly since having my first baby almost 5 years ago. (i have 3 kids now) Its like loose skin that wont go back and just makes my belly seem really flabby. loosing weight doesnt help, im only 8 stone so know im not "fat" but looking down at my belly makes me feel like a blob.
    Sit ups dont work either (for me anyway) i got right into them a few years back and would do like 100 a day. Sit ups just tone your muscles they dont make baggy skin shrink back.
    it is awful though isnt it, i have like a little shelf of skin that hangs as though i have had a section. Its not nice when i want to look half decent for oh but it hangs over the front of my knickers lol if i wasnt soo scared of surgery and hospitals id have the loose skin cut off i hate it that much.
