I'd love to see some pics of those of you who got your tummy in shape after having kids. I need some hope! I succeeded after the first but not the rest.

  • I just had my second son and got blessed with lovely stretch marks. I know they will be there forever but someone that really REALLY inspired me was Sara. Check her out. She has had 2 kids as well and has a rockin' body, stretch marks and all! I was really motivated to get in shape after looking at her pictures. And every time I want to quit or think that I will never have a nice body, I just look at her pictures. Good luck! You can do it!

    I'm trying! Mine are 9 and 6 and I held on to baby weight from my 6 year old until last summer when I decided to do something about it. I've finally gotten to my goal weight of 130 (actually around 128!) so now I am trying to tone up. I've been doing a ton of core exercises and I can tell a difference already.

    here is my progress so far.

    My most recent. Top row is at 170 before I started trying to lose weight. I had 3 kids in 3 years (they are currently almost 4, 2 1/2 and 9 1/2 months now). Bottom row is last night at 128. I've been nursing, eating a 15-20% cut of my TDEE and doing Jillian Michaels and Leslie Sansone videos at home for the most part.

    I still have loose skin and more to trim off my middle, hoping to get into more lifting and running soon - it's been hard to get to the gym with three littles but I need to make it a priority!

    My friend BusyLady has has three kids and looks SERIOUSLY FRUCKING AMAZING. Abs that won't quit. She's currently out of pocket, but I will direct her this way when she can come show you all how hard work and a little 7-11 snacks will make you look incredible.

    Bwahaha, there's always a man to respond to these kinds of threads!

    My inspiration for this exact thing comes from Chalene Johnson and a couple of the ladies in the ChaLean Extreme videos. Chalene has 2 children, and there's one lady from the video (don't remember her name, but Chalene picks her out) who has had multiple children. They have lean bodies as if they never had 1 child yet. It proves that, yes, we can have children AND abs!
