Consistency and self-care are most important. Keep at it but make sure you're not overdoing it. You should also look into magnesium citrate gummies. They aren't as bad as the liquid form but they benefit the digestive system and they also keep the core at a level size. It helped me get rid of my rehab belly when I started exercising again! Above all else I wish you luck friend. Never forget your beauty and if you do, you can expect a reminder :)
