I have those flabby sides on my lower stomach, which have only appeared since having my daughter. Is this just what my body is like with a few extra kilos? Or has having children changed my body shape? Will I lose this if I lose weight?
I ask as its the only part of my body I don't like - I don't want to diet if Im going to lose weight from other areas first!
 
I had a child 18months ago and this was the area of weight gain that frustrated me the most but since joining the gym I've noticed such a change in that area. So, you CAN lose the weight from that area. Your body shape will be different after the pregnancy but it's not to say you cannot get back a fit healthy body.

Stomach crunches are what have helped me out the most. It's targeted the fat I want to get rid of and given me definition to the muscles I didn't even have before the birth.

So do a google search and find a website that offers lots of different ab exercises, as you standard crunches are not enough.

Don't worry, the love handles will go, you just have to be prepared to work hard :)
