Ok granted I am now stuck with the pooch again for the second time (just had my second baby) But I did get rid of it after my first child I did the calorie counting healthier lifestyle and I would do about 45 mins calistentics and long distance jogging. It can happen let me go through pics and see if i can find any to show.

I've had 2 c-sections, so I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm not quite at a point where I feel comfortable taking a picture of it yet, but I have found one exercise that has been really effective in tightening up that area. I'm scared to think of what it might look like if I hadn't been doing this the whole time. I asked the owner of the gym I go to and she told me to do this very simple exercise.

1. Lay flat on a exercise bench with your rear right at the end.
2. Put your arms over your head and grab the top of the bench.
3. Keep your knees about half bent and lift your legs.
4. Start out doing 3-4 sets of 10 reps, increasing as it gets a little easier.

I also sometimes do this on the floor if I'm at home, and I like to mix it up by crossing at the ankles and alternating.
Good luck, and when I get a little more comfortable all over with my body, I'll send a pic!

I am part of the 2 C section club, too. I hear it take crunches, crunches, crunches. Esp. your lower abs. Some have said only a tummy tuck will get rid of it. I plan to work on it as much as I can, but it is a reminder of motherhood to me. A badge of courage!

I am new to this site and I just happen to come across this post. It is very inspiring and I am getting some major inspiration from reading the post. I have had 2 C-sections as well and thought I would never ever have my flat stomach back. I had just given up and decided to deal with what I have, but I think I will start working on it again. Thanks for the inspiration.

Nowever with the c section I never got rid of the pooch and I was telling a friend the other day I never thought I could get rid of it. Now I know diffrent.

That's a great blog! I had twins (almost 7 years ago) and I've just lost 60lbs and counting, but the belly is really my main problem area. It has gone down significantly through diet and exercise, but it's not gone. I hate the way it hangs when I bend over. So it's great comfort to me to know that if I continue with the exercise and healthy lifestyle, it is possible to tone it up and it will go away! Thank you great article!

Hah, I just had my 4th C-section, so here's hoping I can get it at least semi-toned. Going to try for sure, cleaning up my diet for now, and will start exercising once I'm cleared after my 6 week checkup.

Thanks for this post and to those who posted pics and blogs... I was just thinking of this same thing this morning. I didnt have a c section but I did have 4 kids and pregnancy has taken its toll on my belly.. I got whats called the mothers apron. Since losing the weight that I have so far, it has gone down some but is still there and hangs when I bend down or something :indifferent: Hoping it goes back to normal once Im done

My problem after I had my c-section was that I was just lazy. I got into this routine of waking up and just nursing my baby all day and sitting on the couch eating non stop. While I was nursing I lost all but 20lbs of the pregnancy weight. I quickly gained that back though. I continued through my lazy ways (which so wasn't me.) and continued gaining. I hit 214. My highest weight ever Its been almost 2 years since I had my son and I can't seem to lose any weight. When I first started MFP I lost about 19lbs really quick. But because I have started and stopped this "lifestyle change" so much, I find it hard to just get to 195lbs. So seeing this post is inspiring. Today I am going to start Jillian Michaels 30 day shred!!! Best of luck to all of you!!!

HI, i just posted a six inches in 1 month post with my pics in it. I did 16 weeks of bedrest (6 in the hosptial) and ended with a c section. My son was in the hospital for months where i ate mcdonalds at least once a day! I started waitressing at my families restaurant just three weeks ago along with running ( on days i do not work) and doing some 30 day shred a few times a week! I drink water mostly and cut back on all things involving sugar. Boo! Good luck!

I was just reading through the rest of these posts and I saw that several of you are starting with 30 Day Shred. I wanted to let you know that was what I started with too! I'm positive JM was trying to kill me and she almost succeeded, but I did not give up. I did, however, start and stop twice before making it through the 30 days. Then, I did 5 weeks of her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism & No More Trouble Zones alternating them 6 days a week. THEN-- I did P90X! There were a few weeks off in between each each program, but then I was always on the elliptical for at LEAST an hour 6 days a week burning at least 400 cals, usually much more. Also, I saw the fastest results, ( I mean FAST!) with P90X. I lost the most weight and saw the most results in 90 days with Tony Horton.

It's possible to have the body you want! I know you can do it, but you HAVE TO WORK!
