C-Section Momma's that were able to lose that tummy?

ljdborton

Need Motivation from C-Section Momma's that were able to lose that tummy! My 3rd child is 6 months old tom, and I started this journey about a month and a half ago, but got serious about it 2 weeks ago...deciding to make this change of lifestyle for me and no one else:) I am struggling when I look at my stomach bc I just feel like it will never go away! I dont expect a FLAT stomach even, just one that doesnt have the pooch.... My stomach muscles never went back together after having my first child....and well I am just feeling discouraged today! Any C-section Mommas out there willing to share thier story or picture with me...I need some encouragement:)

Love you all MFP!!!!

Have a Blessed Day!

Girl, I am trying to work on the same thing. I went to fit ball last night and did a lot of stomach exercises... woke up this morning and sneezed, haven't felt that much pain since my c-section almost 3 years ago! I'm eager to read peoples responses... I want this tiny pooch gone myself!

I have had three pregnancies....my last one being a twin pregnancy and my only c-section. Granted I have the lose skin but its not as bad as I thought it would be. The pooch has a lot to do with what you consume b/c whatever you eat causes belly bloat. That is why its essential to eat fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean meats and drink plenty of water to help flush it out. To give you an idea of how far I was stretched with them.... here is a pic the night before my c-section.

I have had 2 c-sections. I feel like the pooch is never going to go away. I am finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight but my tummy is way more poochy (is that a word?). I have noticed that I bloat a lot easier than I did before my pregnancies. I have read to focus on lower ab exercises to battle the pooch. I have been doing flutter kicks, reverse crunches and leg lifts. Good luck to all of you in your battle of the pooch.

I can owe my stomach to Insanity. I didn't lose any weight doing it but I toned up quite a bit from it. .

I figured that even when I get down to my pre-pregnancy weight my tummy will still be poochy ( i dont know if its a word:) i use it referring to mine all the time:)) I have a bunch or size 8/10 pants I can not WAIT to get into but truth is I dont know if I ever will if my tummy doesnt cooperate... we will see...I hope ot post before and afters in October...til then Ladies....heres to us getting the poochiness of our bellies gone:)!!!

I had one each way and my youngest I had the C-Section with - she's almost 11 now, but I managed to get my tummy back in shape - that's me in my profile picture. Walked a lot, ran a little and more recently started doing exercises at home until my knee started giving me issues. Now I'm just basically watching what I eat. I'll be 41 in less than a month ... so a little tougher keeping it off

I haven't lost it completely, it will never go back to how it was before as I have a million stretch marks and extra skin, and it's the first place I put on weight, but anyway, this is me 5 mins ago

MissMama5

I had a c-section 6 years ago in august. My belly is getting there....I know I am soooo close to it being gone for good I just know it!!!! I do a circuit workout every day that really focuses on all my abs, lower and upper. I can send it to anyone that wants it, it's working really well for me I also walk a half hour each day. if not more depending. It's really hot lately! lol You all look amazing

this thread makes me so happy. I did not have a C section, but I was 7 months pregnant when I lost my little girl and got pregnant with my son 5 weeks later. My stomach is more than a little streched out and I was overweight to begin with. It's so inspiring to see flat tummys on moms, particularly when they weren't always flat to begin with. I hope to post my own pics on here some day! I've lost all but 9 pounds of baby weight, but have about 70 of desk job and junk food weight to go. I've started 30 day shred and love it, but I hope the weight gain doesn't last. I've gained 1.5 lbs since I started a week ago. Here's hoping it's worth it!

Thanks ladies for posting pics! I have had 4 c sections as well and am happy to see there is hope for me

demonkarebear04

I had my c-section in February, I went from 225 to 276 while I was pregnant, I was HUGE! I did a lot of walking and I read once that lazy people suck their stomachs in when their driving because it works your abs out, I don't know how true it is, but the first thing I'm loosing is my pouch, the rest of my body needs to catch up! Always need motivation! Got a long way to go! Anyone can feel free to add me, I need the help :-)
