    My progress from DEC to FEB and left to right the weights were 190, 182 and 172.

    I have three babies, all girls, and they are six, three and one. The one year old was a ten pounder and boy was I stretched to the max.

    bamshunny, you look great! Fast progress, too. You must be working hard :smile:.

    And thanks, ladies, for the compliments! It's been a lot of work, but I've really enjoyed it so far :smile: .

    Goalpeace: My secret isn't much of one, thankfully! I haven't been cutting out any foods (in fact, I've eaten a chocolate chip cookie or two most days this week), just sticking to 1300 net calories per day, eating any exercise calories I want or am hungry for. (I'm only 5'0"). I try to make sure I get more protein than I used to, and I space it out throughout the day so that I'm not too hungry.

    In terms of exercise, it's been Zumba roughly 3 times per week, weightlifting class once or twice a week, and running here and there when a class won't fit into the picture. I figure I should get all the exercise I can in while I'm still on maternity leave! Less than 3 months left before I'm back to work. I think that will be where the real challenge is, but I'm up to it!

    Day 70 (yesterday), 11lb difference

    Last image is pretty crappy quality but improved muscle tone is definitely there.

    It's almost been 12 weeks and people are already noticing the changes. I was encouraged today at my gym to become a fitness instructor.. so while the photos don't do me justice IMO, people are noticing.

    You are looking SO good for a momma of 3! Keep up the excellent work! I also had a heavy second addition to the family so I can relate to the stretched to the max bit. Push on hun!

    I have triplets who are turning 9 in May. I have lost 11 lbs since Feb 4. Is slower going than I had hoped. I was 212 and now 201. I am 41 yrs old and 6ft tall and hope to get down to at least 180. I was 160 when I got married in 1997 and 193 when I got divorced in 2011. :) I have a lot of stretch marks and belly hanging. How do I find the 1st part of this thread?

    Thank you! Sadly I've slacked on the working out these past few weeks and I definitely need to get back to it.

    Skin is tightening up some, and the stretch marks are beginning to fade. I starting dieting when my son was 13 months old.
    He is almost 16 months old now : )
