Default Re: belly fat

I have read on this site several of the members who have been here a long time that the toning does come but it won't be overnight--it takes time for the muscles and the skin to settle back. You will probably never get back to a totally flat stomach but it will be much better than it was when you started. Also your age and the elasticity left in your skin has a lot to do with how much it will go back.

I had a C-section 32 years ago -- I was able to get back to a fairly flat stomach soon afterward thanks to basic training in the Army -- when you exercise 10 - 12 hours a day for a living it makes it easier.....I was also 20 years old....LOL!!!

Good luck to you.
