What did you do?
I lift heavy 6 days a week, 20-30 min. of cardio daily, and eat clean 95% of the time! ANYBODY can do it, it just takes lots of sweat and dedication!0 -

Beautiful! Question for you ladies who have been successful: how are you eating? And what is your macronutrient ratio? Great work!

I got HUGE with all of my babies. I have never had multiples but I looked like it! My stretch marks on my hips split open and bled with my first two babies during the last month. My doctor said I have an "umbilical hernia" which means that my belly button was pushed out so far, it would need surgery to be repaired. I once had a friend who is a nurse tell me that I should get my ab muscles sewn back together. I asked if they looked like they were messed up and she said yes! I worry that my stomach will never be flat without a tummy tuck! I am working really hard and hope that someday i can have great after shots like some of the other mommies have posted!0

My diary is open (my macros and calories are off for the next few weeks b/c I'm recovering from surgery). I usually do 1.5 g. of protein per pound of body weight, .5 g. of fat per pound of body weight, and .5 to 1 g. of carbs per pound of body weight. I adjust my carbs every few weeks, depending on how I look and feel.0 -
Mine is still a work in progress

WOW! Thanks you guys you look awesome! Mine isn't from baby weight (as my kids are older). I had my body back after both pregnancies --this is from getting heavier later in life. I have more stretch marks now then I ever thought about having then! From yo-yo dieting, etc. I guess the same holds though....work at it enough and you can make it go away!0

Wow! Your amazing! :noway:Will this work?? This is my second kid and I didn't have any before pics because I was so flabby!
32 weeks pregnant...I was WAY bigger at the end.
7-8 months post partum.... I need new photo's... it looks like my avatar now

I eat REALLY bad, ALOT of chocolate, carbs, you name it. The type of food doesn't have any barring on fat loss just your deficit which I usually keep around 500-800 calories. Although protein does help you build muscle I don't really tend to eat alot of it and if I eat alot of it I tend to feel ikky. I felt like garbage on a low carb diet I tried. I actually feel better when I eat chocolate and carbs. I feel satisfied and I have LOTS OF ENERGY FOR MY WORKOUTS, heheh.
I do however hit the gym hard and have a deficit of 500-800 calories a day. I am almost where I want to be with just a little bit to go then I am out for maintenance only.
Its really up to you on how you eat but try and maintain a 500 calorie dificit, exercise (cardio & weights), and you should be good to go!0 -

You will so get there you just need to loose some more body fat and then get a little muscle which will help hold everything together. You SO can do this!0 -
Hot damn- hope I can get a flat belly and abs like some of you!!! I've only had one baby- but I have belly for days. And stretch marks galore. Wahhh! :sad:0

NO! I have a calorie deficit of 500 meaning I burn lets say 2100 calories and eat 1600. I probably worded that wrong, HAH!
