How to get my belly back after having twins?

Asked by shdy1968 7 months ago, 3 answers.

I gave birth to twins almost two years ago. I'm 5' 4' and weigh 105 lbs. I've lost the baby weight, but can't seem to get my stomach back. I'm not sure if it's fat or just stretched skin. I've tried stomach toning exercises and they aren't working. Is there anything I can do to get my belly back?

Considering you had twins, it's probably a bit of both, fat and stretched skin! I had my twins almost 12 years ago, and have tried everything short of surgery, which is sounding exceptionally pleasing!!! My biggest downfall was that I didn't attempt to start loosing the weight until they were 5, and even though I lost some weight after giving birth, I found it again, plus some. I'm 5'9', and at my biggest was 250 lbs, with a lot of cardio and strength training, I've lost 100 lbs, but still have this stubborn belly to contend with. In my opinion, spot training isn't always the answer, and some will argue it doesn't even exist, just because a belly is big, doesn't mean crunches will work, then your only toning the muscles under the layer of flab. I would highly suggest trying a good mix of cardio and strength training, I usually do every other day, 6 days a week. Even though I'm not completely thrilled with my results, I am happy! If you get FitTv, workout with Gilad, he is awesome!!! If not, go to his website, http://www.bodiesinmotionwithgilad.com He has lots of good DVD's. Also look into the ABS Diet. There are foods you can eat to help. Foods high in protein are good for you, they keep your metabolism up, which in turn burns fat. Just remember, you want to feed the muscle, and burn the fat. And even though your doing strength training, you won't bulk up like a body builder, but muscle does burn fat, so it's good to do excercises that make us strong. Muscles also weighs more than fat, so you may notice the scale going up a little instead of down. I don't even own a scale, I just go by how I feel, and how my clothes fit. We as women are very in tune with our bodies, we don't need a scale to tell us. Good luck, it's a lot of work, but with determination it can be done!
