I did do a search but couldn't find anything, so feel free to point me in the right direction if this is already covered...

I'm wondering what exercises to do to lose my belly? I am sooo not used to having a gut, previously i had a pretty flat stomach and didn't realise how lucky i was. Now 4 months after a c-section and since i have stopped breast feeding, i just feel awful and still look like i am about 4 months pregnant, if not 5!

should i be doing loads of sit ups, or should i be doing cardio exercise like jogging and trying to get the heart rate up? is it safe to to lots of ab crunches etc after a c-section?

is there any miracle exercise to help get rid of the gut? do women who have had c-sections have bigger baby bellies than those who birthed vaginally? Is it possible that no matter how much i try to lose weight, i will always have a bit of a spare tyre?

it is seriously depressing me and with summer coming up, i just feel like i am going to look disgusting and not enjoy getting out and about because of the extra weight. i am having huge discipline issues (or lack thereof) in regards to food... comfort eating so badly.

ive never really had to worry about what i ate and this is such a shock to me to feel so wobbly and gross. am wondering what is a 'normal' timeframe to get your figure back or at least lose the belly?

any tips would be much appreciated
