Well, I don't have visible abs or a flat tummy, but I'm working hard at that area

Awesome progress! You look fantastic!

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!

Holy freakin' wow!

My son was 1 when this pic was taken last summer. I had a C-section and gained 100 lbs while pregnant.

Now I don't have to post pics...we have the same belly! Good for you on your progress, that's amazing!

Like others before me who have never posted a picture on the forums before, I don't really know what I'm doing, so hopefully the pic posts or someone else can fix it for me? Please and thanks!

Anyway, this is about a year and a half after my son was born. I had gained 50 lbs in my pregnancy, and it took me 9 months to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. I started with cute little Wii games like Wii Active and the Biggest Loser, then progressed to Jillian dvd's (30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, 6 Week 6 Pack) then Bodyrocking, kettlebell training, and I started Jamie Eason's Lifefit trainer. Currently I'm 36 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and have continued working out throughout my pregnancy. I'm hoping to get my abs back a lot quicker this time!!

To the awesome ladies that posted pics: What were your food habits/calories to lose the belly weight? How long did it take to lose inches around your waist?

There's a pic of my abs in my photos - I do have a six pack. I had two kids in my 30's and my second son was almost 11 pounds.

Threads like this give me serious hope for my stomach.

I've pretty much accepted that I think I'll always have loose skin in that area, but I have three beautiful children by my side.

If I saw any of you at the beach in a bikini, I would be extremely jealous of you looking so good after kids, by c-section or not.

So well done to every single one of you.

Not there yet. But I have fantastic stretch marks and gained 75 lbs with the 1st and had a C-section with the 2nd

PROGRESS IS PROGRESS!!

Thank you so much for the compliment .

For the weight loss, I haven't really done anything out of the ordinary. I did Zumba 3x a week, and strength training classes 2x a week. I ate a base of 1300 calories (I'm only 5'0") and ate back most of my exercise calories. I do a bit fewer gym sessions these days now that I've returned to work, but I'm on my feet 12 hrs a day as an emergency nurse now.

So really, all I've done is move more and eat a little less. No restricted foods or anything like that.

what ab exercizes did you do?

I started running...slowly and am building my way up to a 5k in September. My main ab exercises are on the stabiity ball. Curls, oblique twist (in plank position shins on ball, pull the ball towards you left shoulder, then plank, pull into chest, plank, then towards right shoulder back to plank...thats one rep I do about 40 of them a day), i do regular planks for 60 secs, butterfly kicks, and ab pull ups on a chin up bar. Other than that I use dumb bells for bicep curls (nothing over 20lbs) and the squat machine at 140lbs...thats the only heavy lfting I do.
