I'm a mom of 2. I've been PG twice (once to 42wks, the other to 41wks) and for you other moms out there we ALL know what that does to your stomach, right?! It's not pretty. I went into my 2nd pregnancy rather overweight too. At my highest I was 205lbs. But I'm hear to tell you you can get it back. It won't happen overnight, heck after #2 it probably won't happen in a year. But slowly it will. You shape and skin tone will come back. I'm not done yet, yes... I'd kinda like a six pack, so that's what I'm working on. More definition and I'll get there. Clean diet, exercise & a willingness to work for it! Oh and did I say a clean diet?!

41wks Pregnant, don't get me wrong, I <3 a baby bump!!!

Post baby #2, the start of my journey... and no, you will not find any bare belly pics of me at this point. I looked!

And a few front view.....

Starting 1/1/2011... 180ish pounds, feeling lost & unhappy in my own body.

I love helping other mama's, especially nursing moms because that was me for 18m both times! But yes, you can exercise & eat clean and get your body back while you have a baby!

    You are such an inspiration to all the mommies out there who think they are stuck with their post-baby bodies. I'm currently working toward a bod like yours after having two kids myself. I'm getting there....little by little...but I know I'll get there eventually. Thanks so much for sharing these pictures!

    Nice job! I still can't get the extra baby skin to tone!

    It's extra skin, it won't tone. People here will give you all sorts of useless advice, from drinking more water to using some cream. Time help, but it may not, unfortunately, some people's skin elasticity just isn't very good.
