Ok, I'll be honest. I'm a little nervous posting this. Mainly because of my stretch marks, and also because I'm not finished working on my body yet. Still have a good bit of work to do. It's just that I'm starting to see some abs forming here, and I'm all excited! Hope I'm not grossing anyone out here. My second child was 10lb's though. That plus the extra weight I gained really did a number on my belly. Anywho....here goes nothing!
I went from this...

Uggghhh...so embarrassing. Just hope I will give hope to someone who was in my position not too long ago, when I was worried I would never get rid of my flabby belly. It's still not quite where I want it, but heavy lifting has really taken me so far. That and cardio and my diet, of course.

Ok, well it's probably better if you didn't see the first pic anyways. Lol. I always have problems posting pics. SMH!0

You're making great progress, which is what really matters.
ETA: Your belly isn't bad at all! Being a mom is hard, so don't be too hard on your body. It created another human being, and that's pretty awesome.0 -
Ok, I didn't delete the "20" after the % sign. Got it now!!!0

How many months postpartum are you?0

Your belly isn't bad at all. Mine is very similar. I still have lumps of fat above and to the sides of my belly button (or whats left of it anyway). But I can see that they are getting smaller.
Any progress is good progress, and I think you've done great!0 -

Hahaha...he's 2 yo. I was 210 after losing my baby weight though, and now I'm 142. I lost most of the weight in my first year, but still had a major belly that I had a really hard time getting rid of...well, I'm not quite rid of it yet. Lol.0 -
Here's one more, so you can see the rest of me.0 -
you look great!!! just follow a healthy diet, eat clean, and run run run, spin spin spin
. Unfortunately some of that skin will never go away with out a procedure no matter how lean you get, its the price we pay for being mamas... keep up the good work!. My kiddos are 2 and 5

Good for you for losing all that weight! My belly looks similar to yours but mine is still kinda chunky. How often do u lift weights and how long did it take u to see the results for your belly?0
-
I think you look great. I had really very few stretch marks with my daughter ( mostly on my hips) but I have a lot of loose skin and I don't know how to get rid of it! I'm already back to pre baby weight. I actually weigh less but I seem to have lost a lot of muscle tone.0

I do an hour of zumba 3 x's/week, and an hour of heavy lifting 2-3x's/week. I also will occasionally run or walk on my treadmill at home.0

Thanks ladies!!! I'm proud of how far I've come. I don't think it will be too much longer 'til I'm where I want to be. I'm pretty happy with how I look now though.

You look great! Wonderful progress ♥0

Fantastic progress! You will get that last little bit. I had a cesarean with my first child. And a six pack even after two other children. You are so close!0

Thank you so much for sharing. This is something I have been fretting over. I slowed down my weight lose and all because I want to give my skin time to get back in shape. My heaviest was much higher than yours. This still give me some hope. Again, thanks!0
