In the 14 months since I had my baby I have lost 66 pounds.(10 lbs less than pre-baby) I exercise when I have time, do aerobic videos, lunges and push-up and sit-ups a few times a week, walk a lot, work 10 hour shifts as a cleaner...I am still flabby and looks like a lot of loose skin on my legs and stomach and hips. Will it ever shrink back? How can I make it go away?
If you are over 35, your skin will probably struggle more to get back to its usual shape and unfortunately, you may find the loose skin to be permanent.
If you are under 30 years old, in theory, the skin should eventually 'snap back', but it might take time. If the baby was big and your stomach was very stretched, it could take a lot longer for it to reform to your body shape.
In the meantime, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, as there is a lot of moisture in skin, eat healthily and keep working out. If it hasn't gone away in another six months, it may be worth speaking to a doctor about alternative options, if you are still unhappy with it. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
