PLEASE....can someone out there in message board land help me???
I am a healthy 38 year old mom of three, whom use to be pretty thing years ago before kids!!
Before my first pregnancy (20 years ago!) I was a size 2 and 100 lbs. At 5 feet...this was considered thin. Now...I am a tad overweight at 137 lbs.
While I totally understand the way our bodies change over the years and what not....One thing bothers me to no end........
I look pregnant.
I can assuse you I am NOT pregnant.....and I am also healthy with no underlying diseases or anything.
It is just the *shape* my body has taken on over the years...and it depresses me to no end.
Can anyone give me any excercises/advice to tone and GET RID OF this tummy shape my body has taken on? Anyone know what type my body is? is there certain things to tone it?? etc....
I am totally self conscious because of this...and always end up wearing huge shirts and such to cover up my body. I won't even dress nice, for me, my BF or go out to fancy places because of this....I use to do the crunches and such...was even using the katami bar to work out...but it still has not helped, so I gave up....
Please help...... ;-(

Really...? That's all there is to it? ::claps happily::
Something like that Billy Blanks guy maybe? Can you recommend a good workout video ?
thanks!
Oh Tae Bo will help you, you'll sweat your behind off!
I like Slim in 6, but Tae Bo is very good.
Thanks guys! You have helped me feel a bit more...hopeful!
I bought the slim in six CD's...and will be also looking into a small weight training area..
Hopefully, with all the combined....it will work.
Will keep ya all posted!
Also try including some low-fat/fat-free, preferably organic dairy products (such as plain at-free yoghurt) in your diet because recent research showed that the combination of dairy protein and calcium may help people get rid of abdominal fat.
