I've been trying to tone my muscles up, but I have a belly ring. What I'm wondering is, is it ok to leave it in? When my muscles tighten and I lose a little weight in my stomach, won't it get uncomfortable? I don't want to leave it in, and it start hurting because it becomes too tight. Supermodels don't have 'em because there's no fat in their stomach, so I probably need to take it out..... I dunno. Any thoughts?

Yea my thoughts are anyone with a fat belly shouldnt wear one !!!

I have had mine pierced 3 times total. The first time was in High School, I was thin back then, and had little fat on my stomach. Then I had to remove it after I got pregnant. After that, my sister in law wanted one, me trying to reclaim something (I had gained 40 lbs after my son) I got another one with her. After I lost my weight I went in and got it re-pierced, it wasn't because of the weight loss, my body started to reject it. They had to go so deep (because of the scar tissue) it wasn't comfortable at that point. So I took it out.

So I guess, as long as it doesn't bother you it should be fine. By the way, my sister in law kept hers in throughout her pregnancy and weight loss and still has hers (she got different size rings). So I think that it all depends on your body.

I got mine done when I was 16.. I still have it and I'm 24 and on my second pregnancy! It's making it just fine.

if you are hurt by what are you doing then don't continue for it may be harm you. Search for an exercise that would best fit for you. try belly dancing, i heard that belly dancing can loose belly.
