loose or lose?
ok type-O! lose weightEmbarassed
Yeah I had two babies in a year! Last Oct was my second. I thought that if I lost the weight that the skin would just hang there, but the body is amazing. I've lost 25 pounds more then my prepregnancy weight now, and I"m at 135 so about 15 more to go. My stomach is already SOOO much better!It doesn't hang at all anymore. Still needs more toning but no hang line! hahaha. You do have to workout as you diet though. If you only limit your food it could leave that stomach a little flabby. The muscles need a lot of working after a baby. If you've just had him like a month or two ago, start the crunches now! The sooner the better! It can go back!
It also depends on how fast or slow you lose it. If you lose weight very fast your skin will not have time to shrink. That is one reason why those that have gastric bypass have so much saggy skin. As the previous post states you will have to work the muscles to prevent loose skin as well.

I'm really hoping that my csection pouch will disappear.  We only have one child so far and he's now 5 yrs old. 

 I need to get in shape before I get my "Mommy Makeover" :)

I have a LOVELY (kidding) post pregnancy pouch/deformed/loose skin tummy after having 2 children.  It has shrunk in size since I have lost weight, but still looks gross.  I think my ab muscles separated (hearniated) and that is why there is no tone.  My "flabby stretchmarks" hang down from the center line of my abdomen right around my belly button.  I only gained 30 pounds with each pregnancy, got down pretty close to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time I was p.g. with my 2nd.  I think it has a lot to do with hereditary as well.  Do you have thin skin?  Did you get stretch marks?  Lots to consider.  I'm living with my tummy.  I know I just can't EVER wear a 2 peice swim suit again.
