I have had four babies. Two single births and a twin birth. The first two were vaginal and the last a c-section


4 months after my twins... I was 182lbs


taken in July...142lbs



I'm wanting to get to 130-135 if I can but I have been trying and failing for nearly two years now! My body is fighting against me!

May I ask how tall you are?

Maybe you're losing body fat and gaining muscles which is why your weight is stable. Have you been tracking your measurements? I think you have a lovely shape right now regardless.

Baby #2 almost 21

At age 38 5 foot 7 128 pounds got pregnant #3 up to 158 after a year down to 142

at 40 #4 gained 18 pounds close to 160 after about 6 months the weight came down to about 130ish

at 47 my Aunt died and I was shocked and had to handle the estate so I would be on the go all the time and was so sad went down to 114 to 125ish

at 49 stopped smoking took off some time from work up to 135 145 then 150 and 164 in less than 2 years it seemed like every 6 months I was gaining 10 pounds

I started in January of this year. I've had my ups and downs but I'm currenty doing Insanity and just started ChaLean Extreme on top of that.

I am a mother of twins and 2 singletons all delivered by C-Section

BEFORE: JANUARY 2, 2012


AFTER: JULY 9, 2012


SECOND ROUND OF INSANITY (MONTH ONE)


HOPING FOR AN AMAZING PICTURE BY THE END OF THIS MONTH!!

First, let me say WOW!!! Wow, wow, wow!!!!
I had two c-sections -- last one was 16 years ago-- and as I was sure I'd be stuck w/ this belly pooch above my scar (scar doesn't bother me at all -- I think of it as a war wound), I never truly tried to get rid of it.
Thank you so much for posting your pics. So inspiring, and totally killed any idea of being a hopeless situation.

I'm working on getting back in shape since July, hope to be able to post some succes pictures in a few months! Your posts are awesome inspiration that it can actually be done :flowerforyou:

Tazzymk

great thread, so what I needed to see right now. To all that have shared their stories thank you for showing that it is possible to lose that last bit of jelly belly.

premiumchilenita

Awesome, awesome stories ladies. I have also been in need of inspiration and after going on the IUD I have gained some but starting to lose again. I guess not having gained all of it back is a little success
Thank you for the pictures, you all look FANTASTIC!!

@OnMyWay4: You look fantastic! Congratulations!

Thank you! I've worked super hard and I'm coming up on that year mark! I have set a new goal that I should have in reach before January 2013!!

You look absolutely amazing, you are such an inspiration!

Before: 102kg (16stone)

it's all hard work, good choices, and more exercise. I can't recommend getting a personal trainer enough - even if it's just half an hour here and there to push you harder.

edited to say eek sorry they are so huge no idea how to make them smaller!
