Help! Post pregnancy saggy breasts and tummy!
 

Hi All, just a quick question,
After having 2 children in 2 years by C-section, and breast feeding both, Im left with a very saggy chest and a horrible "apron" belly. Im committed to LC WOL, and am pleased with my results so far. My questions are:

Im afraid that when I do lose a good amount of weight, its just going to make my breasts and lower stomach look worse, hanging lower, from the stretching and then weight loss! :eek: Has anyone else dealt with this???? What did you find is the best strategy/excercises for these areas?

Im planning on starting the beginners weight training plan Trainer Dan recommended tomorrow.

Thanks for any help!!

I had my second baby a year ago, and I breastfed both of them (still breastfeeding the youngest actually). So, I've been there girlfriend!!

How long ago did you have your baby? How long ago did you stop breastfeeding? I had a 10 1/2 pounder, so I had some saggy, stretched out skin on my belly. Time has helped, the skin needs time to heal and move back into place. Also, when you're breastfeeding your body holds onto some extra fat in order to nourish the baby and have plenty in "reserve". Pilates has also really helped me get a tight mid-section again.

You're on the right track getting into a weights routine. That will really help. Adding in some pilates would be perfect....
