    and now I am 179... I actually was as high as 227 and went from 215 in April to 179 now. I would say I have visible abs again. Lots of cardio... lots of water.... lots of hot baths in evenings to lose water weight... I also know some great ab routines if you are interested.... regular crunches don't target abs enough.

    I am curious about this as well. I am currently as 207 and I am wondering what will happen when I do lose all of my weight. My eventual goal weight (after the pregnancy) is 130-140.

    I went from 400 to 330 and it was bad so I slowed down and started to maintain and let my skin catch up. it's not as bad as it was, so I think its time for me to lose more. but from what I've herd it's just going to take time for your skin to tighten up. in the mean time drink a lot of water. :)

    Shaylee! You look so amazing, and your skin will catch up. You had 4 babies girl, cut yourself some slack and let time work it's magic.

    I've gotten close! Patience persistence and a clean diet will get you there. For a woman's six pack to show you have to get down to about 14% body fat. For most of us you can look great at a higher %. Slow weight loss will allow your skin to bounce back.

    thanks for the motivation guys! this skin just seems too dang stubborn to ever tighten up, and it gets me down! thanks for all of the encouragement!
