Hello All - I've been on another IVillage board for some time and I thought I'd shoot on over here for some suggestions. My biggest problem area is the abdominal area. I'm not overweight, in fact I'm happy with my weight, but my stomach is still flabby. I have fairly strong abdominals but it seems like every time I eat a meal my stomach puffs out if I don't purposely hold it in, plus I have some loose skin. I've had 2 c-sections. The rest of my body is relatively toned - I'm not a hardbody but am satisfied with how I look and feel at nearly 40. Well, except for my abs. Any thoughts or suggestions as to how I can firm it up? BTW I go to the gym and do ab exercises but maybe I don't do the right ones or enough of them.

Sounds like a really solid ab program,
Maybe you do just need to change it up
or learn to love your "new" abs.
I always say "I worked hard for these abs, I bore 3 fine children"
well to fine children, that last one is tough!
Sounds like you have a great snacks for the family
I should be that motivated too.
One day
