I have this fear that I'm never going to be able to have a flat stomach again after I lose weight. Does anyone else have this fear??? For people that have lost like 80 lbs is your stomach flat??? THanks.

I've had that fear too. I've seem some people that have lost weight and still have the extra skin. But I think if one loses weight properly and does the proper exercises, it should help.

But, as a former roommate always used to say, "there's only one way to find out".

You may never get a "flat" stomach...but losing 80 lbs will at least make you not have a "round" stomach, and that's got to be better, right?

I started at 190 and am now at 126 and my stomach isn't flat. Its not really that big though either, I'd call it pudgy and untoned. I'm not sure if it'll ever get flat. I want to lose 10 - 15 more pounds. I'm hoping it does though. I do have to say though I haven't really exercised until recently, and I think I would have been a lot better off if I exercised from the beginning.

hi, i have lost 80+ lbs. before my stomach was gross. had real difficulty in bending over, clipping my toe nails etc...i have still got a bit of weight to lose and my tummy isnt flat, but it certainly is much flatter than before. on the downside it is kind of wrinkly and a bit saggy. could be worse and as long as i dont wear clothes that are too tight around the middle (which kind of makes it spill over the top) it doesnt bother me that much.
i dont think my tummys been the same anyway since having the kids. lack of excercise in that area probably hasnt helped to be honest. slim
