    I had three boys last was an emergency c section. There is a pic of my tummy now. You definitely can get it back with hard work.

    You ladies look great! I had twin boys at 37 weeks one 6 lbs 14 oz and the other 6 lbs 9 oz. I had to have a c-section since baby A was breech and would not budge. I gained about 65 pounds but lost most of it after I had them and after about a month. I am currently 14 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight. I don't think I will ever have a stomach that will look that great since I received many stretch marks with my babies, but I am hopeful to get a flat tummy someday. Thanks for the pictures they are great inspiration :)

    Yall look fantastic!

    I have stretchmarks out the wazoo! I HATE them, they are the really deep wide ones, not the itty bitty ones :( Hopefully I can do something to get my belly to look like yall's! Great work!

    I'm right there with ya ... I'm hopeful they'll lighten up a bit over time and maybe I can find some awesome tummy tightening fix. We'll get there eventually :)

    Well, at least stretchmarks on white women are less apparent. My stretchmarks look more like beige tiger stripes on a mocha background. Just awful. I've resorted to a tummy tuck being my only hope at ever wearing a 2 piece again.

    Yes, I breastfed my first child for 15 months and my 2nd child for 23 months. I didn't try very hard to lose the weight while I was nursing. My post-pregnancy weight was 165. I probably got down to 145-150 while still nursing. My "babies" are 9 and 6 (and the 6-year-old will be 7 in March) so it's been a while. :) I really started focusing on my weight about 2 years ago. I've run 4 marathons in the last few years, so part of the time I'm not "dieting" per say but more like eating enough to keep fueled for all my running.

    I would hug you if you were closer OP!! I am 19 weeks pregnant with my first and most of the information/ experiences I had found were NOT at all encouraging!

    You have amazing abs! Wonderful work!

    You all look great and definitely gives me hope! I can do this even if my first c/s was 12 years ago (she weighed 8.9 lbs) and then my second 11 years ago (he weighed in at 11.3 lbs). I was huge and definitely have the skin and stretch marks to show for it, but I am inspired now. Thank you for sharing!

    You look fantastic!

    It is possible, I gained 34 lbs during my pregnancy, had a C-section, I'm 37 yrs old and am 5'3 1/2...my daughter turned 7 months today! I've got 3-5 more lbs to lose, but am pretty happy with myself :)

    You guys are really inspirational. I was so afraid of having a baby because getting back to my past weight of 190 was scary for me, but seeing that it can be done makes me more excited and willing. Thanks for posting. I look forward to my pregnancy journey and getting back in tip top shape.

    OP you look great! Your skin bounced back really well from the pregnancy, mine, not so much. Even if I get my abs into that kind of shape, I'm still going to have the stretched-out skin hanging down. :-( I envy women who's skin didn't do what mine did, I didn't even have a c-section and my skin is ridiculous. *sigh*

    I completely agree. My skin is never going to be the same. It's saggy and wrinkley and no matter how much I lose or tone, it will never look decent again without surgery.
