Help where did this come from this extra flap of skin on my tummy, trying the plank exercise but my feeble arms can only keep me doing it for a second! I am trying to build up some willpower to diet abit more but it is wierd because everywhere else seems not too bad, if only I had a tube to suck this excess away!!

Yep. I have so much belly fat I can barely zip my pants up anymore. Like I'm permanently 3 mos. pregnant. It's awful. No exercise seems to work that area either. So totally can relate to your kangeroo pouch as you call it.

I know it is quite frustrating isn't it? It is like sitting there and intending to stay, it is quite an awkward area as it isnt like a muscle there to tone x

Dear Jane,
Yes, I thought middle age spread was just women eating too much (well perhaps we do) but I don't think i'm doing anything too different but it is there now x

Yes made me laugh too! I have a pouch/flap on my bikini line and I have to tuck it back up if I wear my swimsuit! Yeuk.
And I haven't even had any surgery or c section.
I've got a suck you in body stocking type under garment to wear with a dress I've got for my daughters wedding in 2 weeks. Can't breathe in it or eat. It'll last till the photos are over then I'll let it all hang out!

Hi ladies, I have always had a little "cake shelf" (that's what i call mine). but since peri/starting hrt I have put on roughly 4-6lbs (it fluctuates by 2lbs from day to day-sometimes 4, sometimes 5.5lbs) & my fat seems to have re-distributed a bit. i feel/look slightly slimmer round waist, but more round hips. apparently your're not meant to put on weight with hrt, & I'm off work sick with other illness so less active so will be interesting to see if it drops off when I'm better & back at work running around again. But I also read somewhere & was told by my doc, the fat can often redistribute during peri/meno. The older we get too the harder it is to shift a few pounds, but so easy to put on. I only have to look at a jammy donut & I can put on a 1lb!!!! xxx

Yes the fat does seem in a different place than before, I first of all noticed it on hips and then the pouch appeared, lol cake shelf like that! I can still get in my usual clothes but they seem snug on tummy x
