tummy from c section 20 months later

Godness

Hi everyone . i had a c section 20 months ago. big baby 9 5. i am 8and half stone and 5.5 in height. i go to gym religiously doing aerobics and trx . i also cycle and have just completed 176km cycle. i have a fairly good diet and apart from odd choclate i dont eat rubbish . i cannot seem to get rid of my tummy and it is high up. the muscles are damaged from section i know but is a tummy tuck the only answer . please someone give me some good news as i am very consious of this and makes me very critical of myself anf unsure.

I don't think a tummy tuck is the only answer.

Can you post up a typical days diet?

Would you consider strength training?

Godness

Stench blossoms i will try anything as cannot afford tummy tuck but am veryu self consious of this to the point of being uncomfortable and it has affected my confidence so much. what is strength training.

Brekkie : egg and 2 slice of mc cambridge brown bread & benecol yougurt drink
lunch : chicken or fish with tomatoes, cucumber and chesse
dinner : meat , veg and maybe small bit of potatoe but i try to stay away from it.
late evening: cuppa and biscuit or choclate

on evening going to gym instead of dinner i would have a protein shake as gym about hour after work .

Is it possible your not eating enough?

Have you ever done a breakdown of your calories etc

Godness

hey xgtdec no have never a breakdown . where and how do i ?

You input what you are eating in a website like myfitnesspal.com

Weigh out everything for a week or so.

It doesn't look like you are eating very much.

Strength training would lifting weights, doing bodyweight exercises etc.

You won't turn into a she-beast by doing this. You'll build muscle, lower body fat giving you a more 'toned' look.

thanks stench blossom not interested in looking like a she beast but just tone up and more confident in myself. i was never a big eater really

xgtdec

its just a hunch but if your cycling 176km and thats all your eating then its a possibility your just not eating enough to be losing the fat you want to lose.

I'd go with Stench Blossoms idea...change nothing about your diet, use myfitnesspal.com for a week and come back and post what your daily intake is....this will give people here a better idea of whats going on and what needs to be done!!

great thanks guys. will give it a try
