    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! :)

    Thank you my zumba friend!!! Lol. I had a cesarean with my second also. There's no way I was gonna attempt to push that big boy out! Lolol. :wink: :tongue: :happy:

    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 :).

    Honestly, I've found that lift, lift, lift has given me the best results. ;) I would run, but I have really bad knees. I do Zumba, instead, and I love it. It hurts my knees too, but not as bad as running does. :smile:

    Here I am at 8 months pregnant and 2 years after giving birth. Still working on getting a 6 pack, but I've definitely made progress.

    I do heavy lifting, at the gym and at home with my weight bench/barbells. I do New Rules of Lifting for Women. It's a book, although, I've kind of been doing my own thing last few times, due to a lack of time, but still about an hour of weights, 3x's/week, and 1 hour Zumba 3 x's/week. Lately I've done weighted squats, pushups, planks, deadlifts, machines, step-ups, lunges, box jumps, crunches on the exercise ball, and whatever else I can think of. The prone jackknife on the ball is my favorite one for abs. That and planks and pushups are good for abs too. You can google it. I shoot for 100g of protein/day, but often fall short. Protein shakes are good for making up my protein. I don't exclude anything from my diet, after all, this is a lifestyle change, right? ;) I just try to eat healthier, most of the time. Don't remember if I mentioned it earlier, but I also use a bodymedia device, so that I know how much I burn. Then it updates my cal. goal when I plug it in, and deducts 500 cal's from whatever I've burned.
