Who else has a big ol' baby belly?

Okay. So I had a belly before baby, but it looks infinitely worse after baby. And my baby is almost three years old now--I've shown no signs of improvement! I took before photos and felt pretty shocked at how awful it actually looks. Anyone else?

    This is me! Two cesareans (and lots of fat on top) have left me with a huge "apron" in my lower midsection. I've never had a tight, flat tummy, even as a very fit teenager. I would love to know what has worked for others. It would be nice to avoid a tummy tuck once I get closer to goal!

    Oh, tummy tuck...I so don't want to think about that! But I've seen a lot of success stories from 30 Day Shred--amazing, really. Loads of pics on this site if you search for them! So inspiring.

    I had my son 2 1/2 years ago and had a small pooch before I had him from weight gain and now after having him via c-section, it's a lovely buldge that will not leave!! I have lost 80lbs and I admit it has gone down some but it;s still very out there and annoying!!! I HATE IT!!! I am a size 12/14 in jeans and would be a size 9/10 without it but oh well. I have the 30 day shred so I might give that a try. Any other advice would help :)

    If you look up the ultimate 30 day shred post, you will find those photos that are so inspiring. Definitely some mommy bellies there who look incredible now. I'll try to find the link!

    Wow, Angie...your profile pic is incredible. What did you do to get rid of the baby belly?

    Thank you!! :) I lift heavy 6 times a week, and then there's a lot of time on the step mill. Anyone can do it, it just takes time!

    Nice to hear a real life success story. Thanks, Angie!

    Briannadunn, I hope it works for you again! I've tried pilates and my core is definitely weak!

    Leaky1985, congrats on your weight loss! Fingers crossed for the rest!

    Here's to hoping we all lose those baby bellies! Feel free to add me...someday I will share my terrible before pictures and you will all nod your heads in sympathy. :tongue:
