Is it possible to "lose" the fat after having a baby?!?


I know a lot of people who have the fat left on their stomachs from having babies - and swear that the only thing that can get rid of it is surgery.....

I keep saying I'm gonna get a tummy-tuck....but could I really lose it on my own?? (I'm 5'0" - 1st baby was 9-1/2lbs...and had all 3 babies in 3.5 years!)

Here are my trouble areas:
Inner/Upper Thighs (yuck!) lol
Baby Fat on stomach
Love Handles.....

Suggested exercises!??!? Is it possible?!? Oh yeah - after taking care of the kids, husband, cleaning house, driving son to school, running errands, etc.......I'm tired! LOL

Lipo's REALLY sounding good right now!! HAHAHAHAA!

I am a mother of two so I know what you are going through. When a woman has a baby she is left with stretched skin and stretch marks but some women are lucky! But for those that are not we are left with saggy stomach. My stomach is stretched and only can be repaired with a tummy tuck. However when I did carry excess weight my stomach did go down,but I still have saggy skin. No matter how much weight you loose the skin will never pop back because its elasticity has been stretched.

Weight loss is possible after the baby. There are a few key points to remember. When you are trying to loose the weight remember that you are not pregnant anymore, so you cant eat like that. Think back how you used to eat before all of the babies. Was it healthy or bad? If it was healthy, then you should get back to what you were doing. If it was bad then you should start making small changes in your diet. I know as a mother myself that working out is hard. But if you really want it then you have to make a sacrifice!

Of course you can lose it. Go walking each day for a few miles with the kids in strollers or if they're old enough, play sports with them. It's a good way to bond and lose some extra weight in the process.
