Ok, I'll be brave. This is only 60 pounds lost. I'm 39 years old and my last baby (I've had 4) was 14 years ago. I have a lot of stretch marks, so it doesn't look good, but it's a lot better than it used to be. I have lost an additional 7 pounds since this picture was taken, and still have about 10 to go. When I feel my belly, I can feel hard abs under my skin, but not sure I'll ever be able to see them because there is a lot of extra skin sitting on top of them (along with a little fat still sitting there, ugh).
I think you look wonderful! Especially for having 4 kids! :flowerforyou:0 -
Awww thanks so much! You can do it! I believe anyone can change their body with hard work and dedication!0

I will be brave and post some pics! My stomach is definitely a work in progress...... but it is what it is! After having 3 kids by 3 c-sections I am learning I have to accept my new body.I have 26 pounds to go and then I will focus most of my time on toning up. )
Before
A few weeks ago around 170 pounds
Now- 161 pounds

I love this article. It give me hope: http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm
I have lost 85lbs and my stomach is a mess, but I know it will get better. If I can get my body fat low enough then it won't make my skin hang. I'm aiming for 12% so I can have abs
Best of luck! We can ALL do this!0 -
blame it on the baby! haha. seriously though, it can take up to two years for your skin to tighten back up after a significant weight loss. Congrats on the weight loss and the new baby!0

Hi! I'll be brave too . I actually lost about 70 pounds before I had my son. I lost the pregnancy weight within a year after his birth along with an additional 12-13 pounds. I am currently 163, down from a high of 247.
I lost the weight with diet, running, and am currently weight training. I think the weight training has really helped. My tummy is rather jiggly and I have loose skin around my lower belly and thighs but it's not too noticeable unless I'm jumping up and down.
Sorry for the bad quality....and the tooth brush .
Big breath here....

Bumping this up so I'll remember to post on Sunday. My 1 year MFP anniversary is Sunday and I plan on posting lots of pix (of tummy too). I've had 4 pregnancies so you'll see the good, the bad, and the ugly! Lost 90 lbs though and I'm pretty darn proud of the way things look now.0

What a beautiful website!!! I've never had any children (yet), but it's nice to know there is SUCH a huge supportive community. I think all mothers, future mothers, or aspiring mothers should visit this website .0
