| so how long does it take for the stretched out skin on your belly to start shrinking down? It's been almost 4 months and still have a really disgusting looking belly. It reminds me of a flabby pancake. Is there anything i can do to make it firm up quicker? |

| I've used St. Ives Collagen Elastin lotion for a few months and have noticed a difference. My daughter is 11 months and it's only been the last month or so that it's gotten better. Be patient and it will get better. |

Hey Amanda!
Have you tried crunches? There are so many ab excersises out there. You can check out a few on shape.com. Click on "Find a workout", and then head toward "abs".
Good luck! |

| I had twin girls 10 wks ago. I've done a few things to to get my belly back into shape. I chose to breastfeed to help with shrinking my stomach and I joined Weight Watchers 5 wks ago. Weight Watchers has helped me the most. The past 5 wks I've been doing at least 10 min of activity a week (walk, squats, crunches, and/or low hand weights for arm exercises). I'm now trying to increase it to 2-3 times a week, and I'm trying to incorporate more core exercises. So far I've lost 15 lbs since birth of babies, about 15 more to go for pre-pregnancy weight. During my pregnancy I used Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lotion for stretch marks religiously, now I use it when I remember to. My belly is not a pancake, but it's not big, loose, or flabby. Hope this helps. |
