"Fit" moms, when did you start to lose your loose belly fat/skin?

Question

Just out of curiosity! or at least when did you notice a little difference. It seems like the rest of my body is getting toned, but my belly is so flabby, wrinkled, and saggy. I'm both dieting and exercising. Also, do you notice any difference? It's only been two weeks. I have not weighed myself. 
**also wanted to add my "diet" is just calorie counting and eating healthy :) I'm not starving myself or anything. Definitely a lifestyle change. 😊

Answer

I give myself a year before I do rigorous running, then back to prebaby weight ish at 18 mo. No rush, healing is all inclusive. Ive had 3 and am ok. Theres not competition.

Answer

Cut yourself some slack, you look like you’ve lost some weight already! 2 weeks isn’t really that long of a time frame, so I wouldn’t stress over it. Good luck!

Answer

not here to one up you, but worth mentioning i didn’t have any ‘saggy’ skin after baby. my abdomen was definitely more squishy and skin less tight. it was pretty tight again just a few weeks postpartum. 
also worth mentioning i didn’t start working out again right away, i probably waited until closer to 3-4 months postpartum because i wasn’t dissatisfied with my body but i still wanted it to be better. by 5 months my stomach was nice and toned. 
6 months pp now and i look better than pre pregnancy. give your body time! you look great.

Answer

I religiously worked out out during my pregnancy and still had a mooshy belly until 6-7 months pp. You look great so far, so give yourself time and don’t be too hard on yourself. We grew a human for 9 months, so it’s going to take some time to get back to where we once were, but you will get there!

Answer

Stretch marked skin will always appear different. I noticed you had your belly button pierced. I did too. My belly button looks weird now. The only stretch mark I had was between my piecing and my belly button. This skin will never be the same. This is almost two years after having two kids. Also, my midwife told me however much weight you gained before 20 weeks pregnant is how much weight you will have to “work” to get rid of. For me that was always the last 10lbs. For other women I see on here its prob 20-30lbs. Tummy skin in different ppl looks different after kids. It’s all part of the circle of life ❤️❤️❤️

Answer

I def see the difference. 2 weeks is hardly  enough time to give yourself the chance. It can take a few months until you feel comfortable again. And if your dieting it should be a lifestyle change in the way you are eating not just a silly diet.
Otherwise you will gain all the weight back that you lost. It can be a struggle with a post part I’m body but everyone is different no matter how fit they were before . Being a mom is different.
It makes it all much harder. You look fantastic keep it up! You will always have a bit of loose skin though.
Just might not look like it’s there in the future until you touch it if you get that. Even if you have rock hard abs your loose skin will always be there from baby(:

Answer
