It doesn take couple days to get back in shape, maybe it took her months to get this body.. You just gotta be really patient..
4/28/2010 02:42:58 AM Report AbuseMaking exercise will do wonders for you mind, energy level and YES, the way your body looks. It takes hard, consistent work, dedication, & creativity, esp with kids! It is difficult to do, esp if it has not been part of your lifestyle before. If you want a body that is fit &healthy, you have to work for it. If we start off with a woe-is-me mindset, we cut ourselves short and will not succeed. YOU can do it. Good luck to all of those moms with the baby souvenir around her middle....

2/8/2010 01:58:00 PM Report AbuseI totally agree with boxermom1321. It seems as if the women whom are demonstrating these exercises are personal trainers and not real women who actually had babies. My wife is really depressed because she can't get rid of her belly. She'll be happy with at least being able to tighten some of it. She does not like the extra skin just laying there.
