    Tons of Jillian Michaels, and now I do weight lifting and Pilates.

    That is my main construction site too, my belly. Twins and a c-section, another "normal"weight child and a 5kg child left me with stretch marks, hanging skin and no real bellybutton. Argh!

    Great to see your pictures, there is hope!

    My belly doesn´t look as as bad as it used to but it is still a long way.

    My stomach was so bad that when I started working out, doing pushups disgusted me!! My stomach just hung there no matter how hard I tried to tighten it up. I would also sit on the couch with my husband and it would just flop over lol. I had a lot of lose skin. I read to drink a lot of water and exfoliate in the shower to remove dead skin cells and to get the circulation moving. It took a lot of patience and several months, but it got better. This picture is a 9 month process...

    OMG!! Do you have stretch marks at all? I dont see them. Yes, my belly does the same thing. How did you begin your journey? And how often do you excercise?

    My stretch marks are there!! Trust me!! I never had them until my third!! I started with P90X last year and have stuck with the programs as best as I can. Nutrition has been the main key for the weight loss. A lot of protein and less carbs is what has been working. I exercise 5-6 times a week (weekends are hard because I hate working out when my husband is home; Sadly, I get embarrassed haha)

    The only thing I have noticed is that my stretch marks have faded some but I still have the tummy issue. I am hoping when I jump start my weight loss; I can get my stomach a little flatter. Can't wait, if i get to that point I will post a picture! :)

    For me,I want my belly to be round and that kind of fills up the belly skin and makes the stretch marks less noticeable. I did find a home remedy for stretch marks on Pinterest. I have not tried it yet.
    I try to think of my stretch marks as battle scars! lol

    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!

    You do give me inspiration. My body looks very similar to your before photo. (And I am currently at 170lbs.) How tall are you if you dont mind me asking? And do you workout/diet?

    :cry: Even at 158 pounds I didn't look as good as your before pic. I am afraid there is no hope for me. :sad:

    Kinda wish I had stayed away from this thread now. lol Nobody that posted even comes close to how saggy my tummy is. I had three vaginal births(the last one was 6 months ago). I have always been pretty overweight. Topped out at 250 pounds. And my stomach hangs really bad, even now at 180 pounds(and at my lowest at 158 pounds it still hung over my pants a little bit). I think I may be doomed to have a saggy belly forever. :(

    Bump. I would like some hope, too. Two C-sections in less than two years really did a number on my tummy. Gotta love that "shelf"!

    I wish I could give you some hope, myself, but I'm just starting out!

    OOOH man...do I have a SHELF!!! I feel that if I didnt have the Shelf, my weight wouldnt bother me soo soo much LOL

    I wish i could look like all these women. My kids did a number on my belly. I think once i lose all my weight my belly button is going to disappear under the skin. I had 4 surgerys with my c-section scar;. all my kids were over 10 lbs but one. I think a tummy tuck is in order for me. :(
