    I had 2 c-sections. Kids are 12 yo and 4 yo. The belly is getting smaller :) I'm still working on it! It might not go away totally but it will be the best I can do without surgery. :D (by the way this is the result of about 60 days of diet and 30 days of Turbo Jam, I didn't start to exercise until 30 days into my diet) Good luck on getting rid off the pouch everyone!

    Jkuhn ~ yeah, my TT is years away, if I ever get one, it's one of those things, it would be nice, but there are more important things to spend money on!

    Sissamae ~ Good luck on the 30 day shread! I'd love to follow your progress if you don't mind. Will you be taking pictures?

    Yes, I am quoting myself, I ended up having that tummy tuck, Just had it Friday! :)
    Here is me before:

    It has been 3.5 years since my last c-section. I started last year in a size 10, and this year in a size 6. There was no way my tummy was going to recover, especially since I weighed so much before even getting pregnant. I had my abdominal wall stitched up along with removing excess skin.

    I'm no trying to bring you down, but not everyone will bounce back from childbirth, and I was one of them. I did this for me, and no one else :)

    This looks exactly like my stomach! Hoping I don't have to go down the surgery route :(

    I don't have any of my pregnancy photos to share, but here is my 'After Twin Pregnancy and Four Rounds of P90X' photo! The day I checked out of the hospital from hospital bedrest I was 36 weeks, 1 day and I measured 61" around (that is 5'1"... my mom is that height!) I gained approx. 37 lbs. from pregnancy and needed to lose about 15 lbs. of pre-baby weight too. I had my boys in 2005, started working out again in 2008 and started P90X in July of 2010. Right now I weight 136 lbs and I'm 5'8" (but closer to 5'9" than 5'8").

    Cheers!

    Here I am at 39 weeks with baby #2. I was 120 pounds when I got pregnant and was about 178 here (gave birth a couple of days later). The second picture is of me now (he's 8 but I lost all of my weight by the time he was 18 months). However my stomach looks much better now than ever due to the weight training. I do mostly heavy weights and little cardio. I just watch my diet and workout 4-5 times a week for about 45 minutes. I weigh 110 now.

    beautiful..good for you...I'd love to have a stomach like that :/ do you go to the gym or work out at home?

    I do both! I go to the gym when I want to do a variety of weight training, but I have some dumbbells and a 45lb barbell at home so I do some stuff here...mostly Tabata training - look it up, it is a great way to train!



    hmmm tabata training..I will def look into that...so you use the 45lb barbell for squats and deadlifts? what size weight do you use for arms etc? I'm just getting started here so I'm curious..

    Exactly...squats and deadlifts mostly, sometimes thrusters (another good one to look up), for my shoulders and arms I'll do 10-15lb dbs (but starting out I used 5-8lbs) and lots of situps, scissor legs, pushups, tricep dips, jumproping, lunges, kettlebell swings, burpees, etc.

    I LOVE this thread! I have a 16 month old gorgeous baby girl whom I completely adore, but boy did I struggle to lose weight after my pregnancy. I was pretty careful while pregnant and exercised up to 36 weeks, and gained 35 pounds (at 5.4"). I did have natural birth, and I was so confident I would lose the weight quickly through breastfeeding - everyone around me did, but I just couldn't. Not a single kg would come off and I breastfed for a year. Finally, after I weaned her, the weight started to drop (very slowly) and I started to really focus and worked out. Now, 4 months later I've surpassed my pre-preggy weight and am going to focus on toning. I am so grateful for MFP and all the friends that have offered me the most amazing support. Everyone here is just incredible! You can all be proud to be hot mammas! It's not an easy road, but yes, worth it 100%!
