I just posted my 1 yr progress photos...I've had a baby and I had hernia repair surgery (twice) as well.

Nothing is impossible!
This is me, I had a baby in March 2010 and another one in March 2012.
First pic is from Sept (6 months PP) and second is from a few weeks ago (10 months PP). I had been working out the whole time but only got serious about eating properly and started lifting weights in Sept and I think the results are obvious.
Go Moms!!

From what I've read and seen it just takes time. I was overweight to start with when I had my first so my pooch is pre-pregnancy, then lost 80 lbs and had baby number 2 in August. Here are my Insanity results, which I finished last week

Great job Mama!
And you are right, it takes time and everyone is different, some might bounce back in a couple of weeks and some it takes a couple of years but with hard work its totally possible

You can check out my photos, I have an ab one on there. Not impossible.

Not impossible. My abs are starting to show. I don't have pictures on here of them because only the top half show right now.

I don't have a picture to post, but my abs and tummy look great and I've had 2 babies. I have always had six pack abs and a slender mid section. And my belly bounced back after having babies (no stretch marks either). I had to work at it. But, I never had flab on my abs. I did have a very small muscle separation the second time, so I worked very diligently at the exercises to heal that up, while also doing pilates (that is very good for postpartum). Another great thing I did was push my children in a double stroller up as many hills as I could for an hour a day. Now, I lift weights. I am also a dancer. Just wanted to chime in since you said it was not possible. I see you have some great success photos from other women here as well.

I have 3 kids. 2 natural birth and 1 c-sec. The pic with purple is back in Sept when I first got serious about working out and eating right. The one in black is 2 weeks ago. So a little less than 4 months of serious dedication. I still have a long way to go though. But it's a start.

I don't have any photos and don't really want my pictures out for all to see. Head shot is as far as I'll go (in college and then going to look for a job soon so don't want potential employers seeing me pose) but I've had 3 children and no gut. I always had a nice flat tummy even after babies. (one c section and 2 natural) Trying to tighten up all over right now and lose the last few pounds. My weight gain happened long after kids.

Ladies, you look marvelous!

Same with me. People always commented after I had a baby that I don't look like someone who just gave birth. Even while still in the hospital most people thought I was a high risk pregnancy and going to be spending the next 9 months in the hospital. They were always shocked when I said nope just had mine and would point out my baby at the nursery. No stretch marks either. I had always worked out with weights from the time I was old enough to join a gym. It was just these past few years that I put on weight after a long relapse with MS and not being able to get around plus lots of meds/ steroids etc. But still didn't put it on all in my gut. It seems to be evenly distributed. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

My "fat" baby, yes.

You look flipping amazing. One day I hope to look even half of that. I have four kiddos, so it seems impossible at times, but I refuse to give in!

Awesome progress ladies! I'm only part way there (pics in profile) but I hope to keep toning up my stomach even more. You all give me inspiration!

Your tattoo got smaller too. Funny and awesome. Great work.

It's possible with lot of hard work and dedication.
