Work out harder

Get the tummy tuck. I did and regret not doing it sooner. Once you see the results, you'll be motivated to maintain it

Do you work your obliques and psoas muscles? These can improve posture and act as an internal corset, of sorts. I am 54, 2 c sections and I work these muscle groups as part of my PT for a bad back. I'm 10 lbs oner fighting weight, but my stomach and waist look pretty good.

1. Have you checked your height? It's fairly common to lose 1-2 inches in your spine. You may have excess skin not fat. 2. Or, alcohol encourages fat retention around the middle. When I was about your age, I stopped drinkling totally as part of a diet program and the "shelf" went away.

Is there anything I can do short of a tummy tuck to improve my belly? I am 5'6 135 lbs and I workout regularly. I could probably lose another five pounds. I had two c-sections twenty years ago. I've always had a small belly even when I weighed ten pounds less. However, once peri-menopause hit the weight shifted to my middle. I do have some definition in my mid-section. I really hate the flabby belly fat above my c-section scar. Any suggestions for targeting the area? I've read that I should do planks instead of crunches.
