have a question about tightening stomach muscles

[SoKlueles]

Ok, ive been working out and doing exercises for my body to get more toned, in the past 2 weeks, i have noticed a difference, but my stomach kills me. I have had 3 kids and i cant get the muscles to tighten up. Im seriously thinking of getting a tummy tuck but if i can avoid that and do exercises, what kind can i do?

Is it loose skin or the muscles??

Cuz with a tummy tuck you can just tighten the skin only or tighten the muscle and the skin......just a fyi....

If it's loose skin and you've maintained the weight loss/muscle build for some time, your skin may have retracted all it can and it won't retract any more, so a tuck may be the only option.....

I think i need skin and muscles.....cuz right now nothing works

Can you post up a pic?

I have heard that pregnancy can 'separate' abdominal muscles down the mid-line. This results in pain and the inability to tighten things up. Just a thought. But I hope thats not it, because thats gross!

That does happen, which is what the one part of the abdominoplasty is for -- they sew the loosened muscles back up.......

Holy Crap! Why does having a baby have to pound the shit out of a woman's body!? Damn.

Well, depending on your beliefs -- it's all Eve's fault cuz when she ate the apple one of the punishments was pain in childbirth. Damn her!! LOL

Consider the alternative.... as if a man could handle it?
