Postpartum Weight Loss- What about the Extra Skin?

I’ve received so many emails about weight loss after baby and concerns over the extra skin.  Many of you want to know if the extra skin on your tummy will ever go away. The truth is exercise will firm the abdominal muscle and decrease body fat, but extra skin may never fully go away.  Just think about how much your skin had to expand when you were pregnant.  If you were carrying twins, or gained a lot of weight, the skin may never fully re-tract.  Extra skin and stretch marks are also based on our heredity.  So ask your mother and grandmother what they experienced. Don’t give up!  You still can look great and feel great– eat heatlhy and exercise will help you be your best.  And remember what a gift it is to have your little one in your arms!
