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....
