I'm a mom of five and had my last Oct. 19th! I started at 147 after baby. I'm now 130 and even though I'm exercising and eating right I'm finding it so hard to get down to the 120s! I'm only 5'1 and my pre baby (#5) weight is 117 so I still have a ways to go but I'll get there! This is my first picture attempt so we will see if it works! Lol! Before pics taken 1/4/12 the progress pic was taken this am 1/26 Front12612-1.jpg

    Not exactly sure how you manage that after having 5 kids! But good job. I bet if you did the 30 Day shred you'd look amazing!

    Wow, you're doing great! It takes 9 months to get that weight on, and a lot of it is not "just baby" - even when it's healthy gain for pregnancy. After just 3 1/2 months you've already made a lot of progress!

    (We could be twins! I had a baby Sep 22, am stuck around 137 - I blame the breastfeeding, lol - and I'm 5'0" . I also have 4 kids. Send me a friends request if you want :smile: )

    That's exactly what I'm trying to get through! Lol! I've been doing it but only 4-5 days a week!

    Congratulations :-) I'll friend you! Every other pregnancy it's come off so fast but not this one! I told my husband, it must be the combination of being in my 30s now AND that it's #5! Lol!

    I hope to see results half as good as you've had! I'm starting out with way more fat though, so my results will probably be woefully undramatic.
