[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a post c-section mommy pouch.  It's been several years and this thing is not going away.  I was thinking of taking a core class that is supposed to tone your butt and your gut.  However, I'm worried that toning abdominal muscle or losing stomach fat will leave loose hanging skin, like an empty sack.  Right now there's a little mommy belly but it's plump.  Also, I don't want to lose weight because I'm afraid my boobs will shrink and then those will be empty hanging sacks too. Help![/quote]

Do you care more about how it looks or if you have a strong, functional core? Answer that question and you should have your approach.[/quote]

Self-righteous much? You women who don't care about your looks and who attack posters who DO care are so tiresome, and you pop up on every single thread about weight, fitness, pregnancy weight gain, and personal care. Was that you on the makeup thread, making fun of the OP for using makeup, then proudly boasting that you always let your hair air dry and only ever use moisturizer? And was that you attacking the poster who wanted to stay within the recommended 25-30 pound weight gain parameters? Probably.

I'm sure your husband really appreciates your slovenliness. You should also know that those of us who have some pride of self respect you as much as you respect us. Go ahead and keep priding yourself on looking like a slob; you're making the rest of us look good.[/quote]

haha! No, no, not at all. I was really brief and it didn't come out the way I meant it at all so I apologize to the OP. I really did mean well even if I sounded like an asshole. A few years ago I weighed almost 300lbs. Now, I'm in the gym 6 or 7 days a week and I coach a womens running group at nights. I care very much what I look like, but at this point I care even more that my heart and body are healthy and it performs the way I want it to. But looking good is one hell of a bonus.

The horribly clumsy point I was trying to make is sometimes the way you want to look and how fit you want to be don't always go hand in hand. In some situations you have to determine if you care more about how it looks or how functional or strong it is. And I'm not making a judgement as to which you should choose. I've been in the OP's situation more than a few times with different parts of my body so I do understand. Good luck figuring it out OP! ps - I have a really strong core and even abs showing through the top of my abdomen. The bottom is still the same hanging apron you're dealing with (probably worse considering my 2 kids plus massive weight loss) I'm definitely getting surgery.[/quote]

Haha, sorry! I've just been reading way too many posts this week from women ganging up on other women, accusing them of being shallow, of caring about their weight instead of their children (as if one can't care about both), etc. etc. etc. I find it so strange and backwards. Anyway, sorry again. Congrats on your progress![/quote]
