Ok, I'm now 33 had 2 kids ( one 10, another 17 mos) and am now looking for a way to get rid of the belly bulge I have. All you women who have had kids know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm 5'1, weigh 116 lbs. I eat sensibly and drink alot of water. I wake up everyday at 5:30 and work out. I've done sit-ups, pilates, ab workouts on the tv and nothing seems to work. It seems like it works for everything above the bulge. My bulge is not that big but I know its there and I definitely will not be caught waering a bikini this year! Does anyone have any tips on any exercises that would help? I would greatly appreciate it.

that bulge will not go away. IT is skin and it does not matter how many situps you do, it will be there, I am seriously thinking I will need to do a tummy tuck or something, I still have to work out before I do it but if you are at the point where I think you are, I believe that it is time to look at other options. If you can find a way to get the bulge to be smaller, good for you, but my thinking is the only way is surgical intervention.

I Have To Agree, I Am 34 Years Old, 5'4 And I Have 4 Kids And I've Been Trying To Lose The Bulge For The Last 4 Years (Since My Youngest Was Born) And I Can't Get Rid Of It Either And Believe Me, I Have Done & Tried Everything Except For A Tummy Tuck. If You Find Anything That Does Work, Give Us All A Shout From The Top Of The World Sweetie. Good Luck.

I have to agree with the 1st post hun, if you have tried all you have mentioned then it does sound like your bulge is probably loose skin and there is nothing really that you can do about it.
Some people recomend rubbing collagen treatments into it and granted collagen is what this skin will be lacking but thers is not concrete eveidence to suggest this will work
I have 2 children and know exactly what you are talking about hun and like you my bikini days are well and truly over lol
good luck
