body image question

I'm kinda starting to get back in the swing of things with officially getting this baby weight off, I'm not really heavy but could use some toning.

My question is for you twin mommies, what does your tummy look like? I'm afraid I'll be stuck with a flat, but losely skinned tummy. I'd like a tight one but that might by almost impossible.

 

Well, for me, the weight is gone (except a stubborn 2 or 3 pounds) and for the past 6 weeks or so I have actively been trying to get my stomach back in shape. It's not getting there, though. The skin is, for me, never going to be the same, I don't think. But, beyond that, my stomach muscles are still slightly separated & just can't hold everything in the way they used to, so I don't think it will ever be really flat again. My doctor has told me the only way to correct it would be to have surgery & I'm just not willing to go there.

 

Without surgery, I doubt mine will ever be the same again. I weighed 207lbs when I delivered and I'm now 140lb. If I stand up straight my stomach is flat, but if sit down I have a roll of skin. :bad:

Overall, I don't think I look too bad for having twins.

 

I am with the others in that mine will never be the same. I don't care how much weight I lose or how much I work out, it will still never be as it was.

 

Even though the scale says I actually weigh less than I did before I had the girls, nothing is where is started out at. :gah:

 

I'm pretty sure my body was forever changed by pregnancy. I've been working out quite a bit lately, and I feel like I just look worse the more toned I become because the skin just doesn't drape properly anymore. I've got great abs under this flabby, stretched out skin of mine! :laughing: :cry:

 

Now I'm depressed. I was hoping that this was temporary. I'm within ten pounds of my prepregnancy weight, but my belly is soft and loose. And I definitely still have the abdominal separation.
