Are you frustrated with that little pooch around your mid-section? You're not alone! "As women age and their estrogen levels go down, they often start to redistribute the fat in their belly area, so at some point or another, we're all going to have to deal with a little pooch," explains Dr. Keri Peterson. So three viewers test products that claim to help fight the battle of the bulge.

Karen, 39, has thin arms and thin legs, but her stomach keeps her from wearing swimsuits. She refuses to wear a bikini, and she says, "A one-piece makes me look like a wet seal -- everything hangs out." Sit-ups and crunches haven't gotten her the results she wants, so she would even contemplate surgery. "I'm wondering if there's anything that I could possibly try to get rid of this fat," says Karen, who has a 3-year-old daughter. "I can't stand it anymore!" Karen tries the Rodial Tummy Tuck cream, which claims to help slim and visibly tighten the abdominal area.

Yasmin, 30, is a new mom who is concerned that her belly will never go back to its pre-baby state. She says that her stomach used to be firm, but after losing most of the 45 pounds she gained during her pregnancy, it remains loose and soft. "If I don't try something drastic," says Yasmin, "I think my stomach is here to stay." Yasmin tries the Belly Bandit, an abdominal compression binder designed to help new moms get back in shape by wrapping and compressing their stomachs.

Michelle, 26, says she hates her "muffin-top." In the past 18 months, Michelle has gained about 20 pounds, mostly around the middle of her 5-foot-1-inch frame. "I try not to look in the mirror all that often," she admits. "I am uncomfortable with what's reflected back at me." Michelle takes a trip to Beauty by Mary Schook, where she receives a treatment of the SX4000Pro Ultimate Body System, which claims to trim inches and tone muscles by stimulating the body's blood flow and cellular metabolism.
