    I've gone from just under 200 lbs to the mid 170s and my belly pooch has seriously shrunk. It's still there, but it's way less than it used to be. Let's see if this works... left is me in January at 198, right is me in late April at 178. My doctor said if you lose weight slowly, your skin bounces back and your stretch marks fade/shrink too.

    Omg...You look so GREAT!! What have you been doing and how tall are you?

    Not gone (I still have SOO far to go!!), but shrinking -- I feel hopeful! This has been over 3 months.

    I was mortified at what my lower abdomen looked like after having my daughter. The first 2 months of good weight loss didn't seem to touch my tummy, but then the third month showed a noticeable difference to me.

    Oh, you're so sweet! Thank you! I'm 5'0", so my goal weight is 110-120 lbs. we'll see what looks best on my frame. When I was younger I looked best at about 110 lbs, but I was also 17 years old... I'm sure my body has changed a bit since then :smile: .

    What I've been doing exercise-wise is Zumba 3 times a week and a weight lifting class twice a week. I eat 1300 calories a day as a base, and I eat any exercise calories that I'm hungry for (which could be anywhere from none to all). Nothing too special! I don't restrict any foods (but find myself eating less bread because it's not filling enough for he calories).

    I LOVE group fitness classes and my heart rate monitor. I make a game out of it - I try to keep really high intensity in Zumba to keep my heart rate elevated. It's amazing the difference in calorie burns from one instructor to another, too. My Friday instructor routinely gets me a 100 calorie higher burn in an hour than my other two classes.

    Also, it's the dead of winter and I've got an 8 month old baby, so I'm not super active outside of he gym. If I can be successful so far, anyone can do it!!

    Can't wait to post a before-and-goal rather than a before-and-during. :smile:


    Thanks for the ego boost ladies!:flowerforyou:


    First and foremost- congratulations!! That's a huge change! And thanks for the advice! All GREAT info!
