Front Butt/Mothers Apron before and after??

my13sun13and13stars

Does anyone have any before and after pics who started with a front butt/Mothers apron?

mom216

Please explain? Front butt/Mother's apron - I've never heard of this.

Not sure what you are looking for.
The before pic I had a giant hanging gut/mom apron.
These are 400+ down to 200-+.
(Please don't turn me in for the bra shot, it's no worse than a bathing suit top lol)

Luckee_me, wow! You've done brilliantly.

Just curious, how much loose skin do you have in that area (hope i am not being to forward asking that).. You have done fantastic! I have a bit of one myself and I am curious how mine will shrink...

No before/after pictures yet as I've just started recently, but I'm also curious to see some. I have quite a large 'PCOS' belly that hangs down a bit, and I've always been worried about how it will look in terms of loose skin/stretch marks when I am finally down to my ideal weight. Though I'll take that loose skin over this bulging belly any day

Also, great job luckee_me! Amazing transformation - you look awesome!

I am 5'2 and at my top weight around 225. 3 kids and 3 csections gave me a definate mothers apron (before I did not actually have much of one). Now its there but MUCH smaller and just over my csection scar. You can not even tell when I have undies on. I don't think I will ever get back to prekids look, but i do think it will be very slight by the end. I am at 154 now btw and for me have 19 left to lose. I don't carry my weight in my belly, but in my hips, thighs and butt (for the most part). There is hope, but there are alot of factors that weigh in on if it will go away or not. Oh and my lower belly has a bunch of stetch marks from pregnancy, so I know it won't be perfect, but I am good with significantly smaller

This thread is encouraging! Luckee_me, nice work you put in!

lol. Never to forward.
That is my trouble spot for sure, I'm not sure I'll ever wear a bikini, but I never wore one before. It's not as bad as I thought it would be and I hope when I get to goal weight it will be even better.
Thanks for saying I'm fantastic.

I'm also 5ft 2 and had two sections (currently 4 1/2 months postnatal) can I ask how long it took you to loose your weight so far? And how postnatal are you? It's encouraging to hear the hangover reduces, I will be a lot happier when I can see my scar in the mirror!

My youngest is 4 almost 5. I started back Oct '13 and lost 40lbs over 6 months...then lost the drive and bounced 160 to 168 for the last year and in april of this year started back up and am down another 10 lbs, with about 19 more to go. I know its genetics and body composition that you get what you get. It just takes time for stuff to tighten back up as you drop the weight and your body recovers from pregnancy and major surgery.

Hi :flowerforyou:
I'm a mom of 2. I had to have c-sections with both of my boys. My first c-section was in Dec 2011 and when I weighed in Jan 2012 I weighed the most I ever had at 260 lbs. My second c-section was May 2014.
I didn't start taking progress pictures until 2013. My first progress picture is after I lost about 50 lbs. The closest thing to a starting picture that I have is my drivers license photo (had to be renewed Jan 2012).
Some comparison pictures of my lower stomach:

In the middle picture, there is still enough fat that the overhang thing on the lower half of my stomach is coming out past my hips. The most recent picture, it has gone down enough that my hip bones are now visible and the little bit of overhang I have left is more centered on my stomach.
Here's some recent full body pictures:


I do have some loose skin. I'm hoping it will tighten up some.

I'm 5'4" It wasn't a complete apron but it was definitely more tummy than my frame should support.

I lol'd at "front butt"...that's what my niece called her lady parts when she was a wee one.

NewLIFEstyle4ME

"Front-Butt"....Help me, Jesus--that's FUNNYYYYYYYYY and yucky at the same time. Thanks so much for posting this funny, sobering and inspirational thread.


...front butt and...........

kdz526

Thats what my husband started calling lady parts when we had our daughter. I still catch myself telling my daughter to make sure to scrub her front butt and back butt when she takes a bath.

Lucky_mee, Shadow2Soul and triciab79...you look amazing! Nice job!

These before and afters are seriously amazing! Nice work, ladies.

Shadow2Soul Thank YOU!!!! My belly looks like your Nov. 2014 picture. At 5'4" 144lbs - I was getting frustrated at my "fat front butt". Are you doing exercises that work that area? In your recent photos - your belly looks toned and flat - no front butt

Thank to ALL that posted pictures!!!!! The pictures are AMAZING!!!

I am glad I found this thread. I had asked questions like this before but not gotten much response. I have a pretty big tummy. Started out at 218 on a 5'4" frame after a c-section in 2010. I look like I have two spare tires one under my boobs and one around my hip area. After seeing the pics from you ladies, it gives me some hope that I will be able to shrink those. I am just worried about the loose skin left when I deflate those tires!

It's not completely flat yet. I saw the biggest difference when I started lifting. In February, I started Stronglifts 5x5 and I switched to Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 in April. Until recently the only ab exercise was the cable crunch in Ice Cream Fitness.
I'm currently doing 30 DS and the bikini pics above are my starting pictures. I also added in ab exercises on cardio days at about the same time.

I forgot to add, in the bikini pics I was about 136 lbs (currently about 134-135 lbs) and I'm 5'4.5".

Triciab79 don't take this in a creepy way but...you look absolutely stunning!

All the ladies posting photos in this thread are just gorgeous. You should be so proud of what you've accomplished! Hoping to get down there myself some day so next time there's a post about front butts I can post my before and after hahaha

Front butt...also known as a Gunt.

penelopepittstopsmam

I have a rather impressively large stomach. I am all stomach, no significant fat on legs, bum, arms etc.

A true apple.

I expected the apron to get worse and hang further but actually it has shrunk upwards. I have photographic evidence but its not fit for mfp.

To see that it will continue to recede is fab news. I know it cant disappear completely as its been so massive but its heartening news.

Heh when I was a kid my mom used to refer to our lady parts as our "front bum" now I think its a little weird. I like the term to refer to a mom apron though!

Congrats ladies! You all look fabulous
