[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. Some body changes you may experience are not fitness related. Women typically thicken in the middle and the hourglass shape is less pronounced. Having kids can rearrange your abdomen and change the shape. My pre-kid abs were completely shredded. My abs after a couple kids are still defined and noticeable... but I have diastasis recti. When I am doing ab work, the area in the center of my abs actually pokes out!

You'll eventually have to make a decison about whether the look or the results matter more. For example, you may have stretch marks or loose skin that does not improve and requires surgery to improve the look. But, a tummy tuck is a major surgery that will sideline your athletic goals while you recover. I have very low body fat and when you look at me, you can see that I look very toned. But, there are all these imperfections that didn't exist before kids. For me, it's okay to have the minor problems- abs that are no longer perfect, mostly- since I am in peak athletic form based on performance. So clarify that for yourself- is this about looks or performance- and that will guide your approach to the future. If it is looks, no amount of athletics will help and you need to save money for surgery. [/quote]
