    Awesome! This is what my stomach looks like. Like your before photo. And I was 175 when I started 169 now. But, a long ways to go, but this gives me hope! I have more stretch marks I believe but, I'm hoping I can get my stomach back down to normal. It's taking some skin firming lotion daily as well. So far it seems to be helping my skin keep up with my weight loss. Thanks for posting your photo!

    I'm about halfway to goal in the bottom pic...the stretch marks have faded but will never be totally gone, but I'm cool with that :smile: sorry the before pics are such crappy quality!

    My Doctor told me that soemtimes after you are heavy and have had c sections it is quite impossible to "naturally" lose the flab, I went from 445 and 2 c-sections to 240 and had to surgically had the skin and only the skin removed. The best bet would be to talk to your Dr and see what the best choice is for you personally, (the surgery I had was a pannectulomy.... NOT a tummy tuck) Goodluck! :smile:

    Bump buump buuuump!

    I had 4 children, one of them C-section. Even at my skinniest (112 lbs) I had the low abdominal flab. The surgeon than did my C-section sewed me up with staples and PINCHED my left side very bad. Not only that he also cut me nearly from hip to hip. Not even my mom who had a C-section 33 years ago had a cut that big.
    This particular surgeon was pretty much kicked out of town. He had so many law suits against him that he couldn't practice here anymore.

    I hold no illusion that my scar and hanging flap will ever go away (unless I win the lottery and have surgery), but I keep hoping that it will get better. I'm amping up my reverse sit ups and on exercises that tighten the lower abdomen.

    I'm so affected by this that I have an awful hard time getting completely naked in front of a man. It embarrasses me so much. Walking around in my underwear in front of a guy is a struggle for me.

    If I could afford it, I would have surgery because this is the part of my body that bugs me the most.

    The worse about the whole thing also is that my daughter died 17 hours after she was born by C-section. I have a scar to forever remind me of that.

    I have a couple pics in my profile.. I do still have plenty of stretch marks, though, and those won't ever go away. Also, a little extra skin. I'm hoping it will go away eventually!

    I've had two kids, no c-sections, btw.

    What are you talking about?!!! You look amazing :)

    I got pregnant with my daughter at 18. It had been 12 years and pretty obvious that the extra skin and split abdominal muscles were not going anywhere, despite running, weightlifting, etc etc etc, so last year i said screw this and got a full tummy tuck and muscle repair. i have permanent sutures holding my abdominal wall together and the doctor removed five inches of skin below my natural belly button. best decision i ever made. i've got some ab definition now but i work for it. the doctor agreed that the quality of my skin was poor and it never would have gone back, no matter what i did. sometimes you gotta intervene if you don't have the genetics to support your efforts, but mad props to the ladies who could make it happen on their own.
