    I don't even come close to some of the awesome looking ladies on here, but for now it is what it is and a huge improvement. I have had 3 pregnancies one with twins all c section. The past year has been about dropping the lbs, this year is getting ripped! The second pic is more of a starting point for the next step.

    Bump...2 c-sections here in less than 3 years. I've noticed that when I do a lot of ab work everything tightens except my pooch :-( but I'm back on my journey consistently now so I'll keep hope alive that with my weight loss and strength training I can get somewhat desired results.

    After my second c-section I lost it all in 5 months of hard working out! However, that pouch took until about 7 months to get off and it did want to stay! My picture is at 7-8 months post partum of my second c-section. She just turned 9 months though this Friday. Not a big scar, no stretch marks, and no more pudge down their. I do notice I tend to get more bloated though around my time of the month then when I did prior but that is about it. I went down in weight but that was intentional... I wanted to actually lose a little bulky muscle I had however I am packing on some lean muscle and toned muscle now. I am still looking to lose 1 more inch in my waist and my thighs but really my body is about what it was before.

    This one is a little old too. I am much more cut... and tan! :) I need to take a new pic!

    Photo from when I lost the weight the first time around, 5 years PP after a c-section and 30kg (66lb) weight gain during pregnancy. I had an overhang but managed to get rid of it.

    I'm back to the same place unfortunately after pregnancy #2 but know it's possible to lose it.

    Wow you look great! I hope to look like this, (Did you get any stretch marks?) I too gained between 65-70lbsw with my pregnancy.

    Loads, all over my thighs and stomach and hips and boobs - but they do fade eventually.

    Ugh I'm 116 and I STILL have a fold over belly when I sit. I HATE it. I can't wait to get rid of that. My stretch marks on my hips won't look so bad, once the muffin top is gone. :)

    My journey is not done yet, I'd like to lose another 20 pounds. The picture on the left I was 200lbs, the right is 160lbs. I weighed in at 157.8 this morning. I'm 5'3.

    I have an 18 month old and a 5 month old. 2 pregnancies so close together, and gaining 50lbs with the first, and 30lbs with the second was really hard on my body, and I got really bad stretch marks. I hope one day I can rock a bikini for my husband, even if it's just in our backyard lol

    I had 2 pregnancies...my first i didn't get any stretch marks or anything and was back in my pre-pregnancy jeans the day after i had my son. When I got pregnant the second time with my daughters (twins) I gained lots of weight and got lots of stretch marks. Both my deliveries were natural (yep even my twins). I don't know if the stretch marks will go away but I do know that the belly can cuz I did it a couple summers ago but fell off the wagon.

    I'm very scared to lose weight and you'll never know how it'll look because everyone is different but you all look amazing! I hope I can look that good when I lose more

    Wow! This board is SO motivational! I have been looking everywhere for women who didn't bounce right back, but did manage to get there with hard work! My daughter is 10 months and I just got to my pre-pregnancy weight. Now hoping to lose 10 more and tone, tone, tone so that I can rock my stretch marked self in a bikini this summer :) When I do I'll be back to post my pictures!

    I gained 80-90 lbs with each pregnancy both c-secs. After the first, I had lost almost all of my pregancy weight. Went from 214 to 139 in 10 months (pre preg weight was 125) c section scar was very dark, but relatively flat. Then with baby number two, dr obviously cut over the existing scar tissue and I have had a disfigured "shelf" ever since. Thinnest I got after second was 147 ish and it was still pretty bad. I feel like my scar is very high compared to others.... Five inches below the belly button and three inches above the "hair down there". I don't think the pouch will go away on me because of the way the muscle was reattached .

    I just want to say FANTASTIC JOB to all you moms. I'm not a mom (Well, I say I have kids, over 100 =P, but I teach them and get to give them back at the end of their classes... Haha.) but I carry my weight very similarly to some of the 'before' pictures posted. The 'after' pictures have given me hope that I can get rid of the flub and pudge and that stupid pooch that I've had forever... Keep it up ladies, you've inspired many of us, moms or not!
