    You look awesome!! I'm looking up Shaun T right now. Which dvd do you use?
    I also had a c-section in November and need to zap the flab! Thank you for posting pics. They're very inspiring.

    We are on week 3 of Insanity right now. He is no joke but definitely nice to look at ; )

    I will have to show my sister Lee this thread. She is having a c-section (her 3rd on actually) on Monday!

    OMG please do!

    You look fantastic!

    I had 2 c/s and my tummy is in my avatar, I think it looks pretty OK for a 30-something mom. :)

    OMG you're tummy is amazing!!! Its exactly what I want mine to look like! What did you do?
  • That is awesome!~ I have had 3 c-sections and I am sooooo wanting to lose my flap. I have lost 35lbs so far and my tummy measurements are still the same!!! Very frustrating! Hopefully I will be losing it soon. I am a lot like you. I am not a healthy eater. I try but its hard in my house as well. I do make the best choices I can and TRY my best to eat small portions. I have gotten off track since reaching my first goal of 135... back to 140. I joined this site and hope to get down to 120-125 soon!! I also have orderd Insanity...but I havent gotten it yet. Hopefully soon!

    Good job!!!

    I don't think everyone who has had a c-section gets that sag. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those lucky ones. I am mom to 6 and ALL of them were c-section. I have no hope for the return of my pre-pregnancy belly.. I know that won't happen.. but if it could shrink a bit so I can wear normal clothes I would appreciate it hah!

    Great job! :)

    I have had a c/s and a VBAC, but I don't expect to ever look like you! I had a c/s at 31 - I think your 23 year old body pops back quicker!! :)

    You look amazing! I am a c-section mommy of two handsome boys (3 yrs old and 8 months)! I definitely have the flap and I dont think its going anywhere! My husband told me the same thing...that once i lost my weight I could get a tummy tuck. I have lost about 40 pounds since my son was born, but just recently i started eating healthy and excersising (being more serious about my weight loss goals) so the weight is coming off faster! My flap is more of "extra skin" and I dont think that will be going away! The more weight I loose, the more skin i get on my lower belly (right on top of my c-section) :-( Keep up the good work...although I think you looked amazing on your before pics as well! Congrats on your success!

    You look awesome. I have had 4 c-sections myself, so I understand how hard it is to deal with that "tummy problem". I am also trying very hard to tone my abs. My goal is a bikini this summer. I think I am going to try Jillian Michaels 6 week abs DVD. Keep up the hard work! Even though it is hard it is so WORTH IT in the end.

    Its INSANE! LOL! I love it! My husband and I get up at 3:00 every morning to get our workout in before he leaves for work at 5:00! I have never been so eager to sweat until now! Shaun T pushes you...but in a good way! I used to TRY Jillian Michael's but I literally threw the X-BOX controller at the TV one day because I HATE HER! Haha!

    Thank you so much! Unfortunately I'm with you! My "flap" is becoming mostly skin so I'm hoping it will just bounce back eventually!

    Thank you for posting this! Your body was beautiful before, and you look amazingly fit now! Great job!!
    Motherhood leaves its mark on our bodies, for sure, but I refuse to believe that these marks are anything but beautiful. A testament to love and sacrifice, badges of honor! I think it's sad that you had a hard time finding images of c-section tummies. I wish we could see more mama tummies of every kind!

    Wow, great job! I've had 3 c/s -- at 29, 31 and 38. If I hadn't been on this site and seen progress of other mommies like me (a bit older) I would lose hope and quit trying. Thanks for the extra motivation and keep it up!!!

    Wow - you did an AMAZING job!!!!!!! I have been trying to see if there is anything out there for people who have had more than 1 c-section and are morbidly obese who have lost the weight ... can we get rid of that flap that hangs down ... I am hoping so!! Have a long way to go --- but you are inspirational!

    Thanks!

    I have it too. Mine is definitely shrinking but it's starting to just look like hanging skin. I'm hoping it will start bouncing back into shape!
  • after 3 csections - my 1st was emergency, so i had to continue, i have major flappage :( so i'm working on toning up. good luck everyone!

    Yeah I jumped on the C-Section wagon because I had my twins at almost 24 weeks by an emergency C-Section. My OB cut me vertically on my uterus making it impossible for me to have a VBAC with my second and third!

    Good luck to you ( :
