15lbs down w/embarrassing underwear shots...eek!

Holy smokes you look fantastic!! I am so jealous of your stomach! I had my first (large) child a year and a half ago, gained fifty pounds, and now even when I get down to my pre-pregnancy weight I'm going to be left with saggy stomach skin. My hope is to get down to my goal weight and eventually have a tummy tuck. One step at a time, right? Anyway, you are GORGEOUS and your son is such a cutie! He is going to break some hearts when he is older!

Absolutely one step at a time! I was lucky not to gain very much weight with my pregnancy (only 23 lbs) and my doctor felt that it had a lot to do with my build (I am a very tall and fairly large framed woman lol). There was plenty of room for my little man! Even with a normal gain, it took several months for me to return to my normal size and I got wicked stretchmarks. But, slow and steady is the key....your skin should tighten a little,...maybe not to pre pregnancy (mine didn't either) but who knows, when you get there your skin might look better than you expected. If not, then get the tummy tuck! I decided to get a boob job soon because breast feeding completely ruined mine lol!

Let me start by saying that everyone on MFP has been so helpful, kind and inspirational...THANK YOU!!! These pictures are so embarrassing, but I worked hard for this so I'm sharing! I apologize in advance for the underwear shots...the before pictures were taken right before I found MFP and were originally intended for my eyes only, but ya know....underwear really isn't any different than a bikini so here ya go!!! You've been WARNED!!!! This is my journey, starting with pregnancy and ending with one happy and confident mama. I gained 23 lbs during pregnancy....not that much weight but I looked totally different afterward. The before pictures show me about 2 months after my son was born, I had already lost about 14 lbs just by watching what I ate. My goal at that point was to lose 10 more lbs and tone up. Since then, I've lost 15 lbs using MFP to track my calories, and doing a mix of Jillian Michaels dvds including 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, and No More Trouble Zones. I love the dvds and I feel like I had great results. I am now ready to move on to P90x, which I will be starting today! This time, my goal is not to lose any more weight, but I'd definitely like to build some muscle! Thank you for looking and I hope my success serves as inspiration to someone! Much love to you all!!!

Wow, great job

Thanks y'all! Hahaha, I'll be starting my weightloss journey over again at the beginning of next year....just found out I'm pregnant with #2! So, new goals are to gain a healthy amount of weight with this one just like I did with my son, so hopefully getting it back off again won't be too difficult! Oh the things we ladies put our bodies through for those sweet babies....but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! Thank you all again!
