Can I see some photos of moms that lost their sag, flab, flop, wiggle, jiggle, everything and anything that you get from having a baby.

Even c-sections scars or pouch (because I have had a csection)

ANY SUCCESS pictures are welcome.

Just want some hope that it will get better..; Lol.

    Bump. I would like some hope, too. Two C-sections in less than two years really did a number on my tummy. Gotta love that "shelf"!

    I wish I could give you some hope, myself, but I'm just starting out!

    I have a couple pics in my profile.. I do still have plenty of stretch marks, though, and those won't ever go away. Also, a little extra skin. I'm hoping it will go away eventually!

    I've had two kids, no c-sections, btw.

    I hate to break it to you but it's not going anywhere :( I've lost 67 pounds and had twins via C-section 10 years ago. I've been struggling with the idea of having my little skin pouch and stretch marks for a long time but I've finally accepted that I have to live with it. I do ab work every other night almost and it looks a lot better but it won't ever just go away without surgery. I'm about as fit as I can be right now and it's still there. I don't care anymore though - I'm kinda proud of it instead :) I would post a picture but I didn't take any befores :)

    Was your second c-section the same or worse than your first?

    My thighs are flat, but once you hit my c-section scar it all pooches out. Lol. I gained 65lbs-70lbs with my son (Only one I have.. hes 14 1/2 months old) and my stomach/love handles and inner thighs are a disaster. Lol. I am 5'9 and down from my last pregnancy weight of 224 to 170lbs currently but with alot of flab/squish/jiggle. Lol.

    the pic on the left is my "before" pic. Under that, is a close-up of the new and improved tummy. ETA - i didn't have a c-section, but i've had 14 surgeries on my abdomen. mostly through one bikini line scar that goes from hip to hip, right below the panties. The other one was laproscopic. i think you can see the 2 scars from that, plus one in the navel.

    Not a mom, obviously, but these are the tips I'm using and they are working. I haven't gotten all the way there, yet, but the skin is definitely tighter than it was.

    I have lost a lot of weight before and now gained it back. But when I lost and did lots of exercise, the pouch was always there a bit. I had four kids vaginal births too. I try to think positive about the beautiful kids I have and concentrate on all the things my body does do for me (work, care for kids, love ;-), etc.) and also I kiss the feet of the person who invented Spanx for those special Christmas party dress up things.

    You look amazing. I have a c-section and don't have shelf issues now that I've lost all my baby weight. Don't have photos of my belly though. Let me see if I can take and post one...
