    <-- that's my tummy. I've had two kids and gained over 65 lbs with both of them.. My secret is weight lifting and eating over maintenance.

    Yes, but only as a kid. :p I was overweight at nine, probably very close to obese at ten (I never really weighed myself then, so I wouldn't know for sure, but I did look obese in pictures). For the last four or so years it's just been that layer of stubborn pudge. I think I have a picture lying around from 20lbs ago, I'll try to find it.

    Wow, this is very inspirational! Looking forward to reading more tips. I just started Stronglifts 5x5 last Sunday, and am slowly increasing my calories. Hoping I can be among the success stories soon! :smile:

    I used to weigh almost 300 pounds.
    My tummy isn't perfect - there is some loose skin and stretch marks, but I'm pretty damn proud of it:

    Actually, I don't really have a routine - I do what I can fit in when I can do it. For the past month I haven't been able to get to the gym so it's all been body weight stuff - squats, lunges, planks, pushups, etc. I have some really awesome friends on here who swear by Stronglifts 5x5, others who love Starting Strength, and a big chunk who do NROLW.
    The basic principal for all of them, though, is heavy weights and low reps.

    Hey!

    I'm not posting pictures yet, but if you don't lift, you probably lost lean mass while dieting, so consequently, at the same weight you would have a higher body fat percent. Thus your stomach wouldn't look as good as it did at your previous, lower, body fat percent.

    I think this is an EXCELLENT point! You actually could be right...I don't lift as much, but I do cardio.. Lots of it...However, most of the ones who have excellent tummies in this thread say they lift...I should focus more on lifting...Thank you :flowerforyou:
