HELP FROM THE MOMMYS PLEASE

Not quite a success story yet, but I started with about 50 lbs to lose. I am 10 months post partum from my second pregnancy, and this is how I look after 1 month of doing Insanity. My kids were both natural birth but I can assure you the stubborn belly pooch was there (and going away!)

My sister is a success story. she had her first two by c section my two older nephews were both 10 pound babies. the other 2 she had natural with success. my sister lost weight after having her first two and had the last too successfully natural. when I was pregnant I was told I might have to have one if my daughter didn't start being born at that time i was 240 pounds. I ended up having her natural.

I had a c-section in 2009 weighing 278lb.

I had a normal birth in 2011 weighing 205lb.

I am currently 145lb and although my tummy is a little saggy, it's not really that bad. You can do this

I've had 2 c-sections and am a success story in the making. My belly does droop a little but I have a long way to go and I am seeing it getting smaller. Just keep at it. From what I've been told, at then end of the weight loss is when things really start tightening up.

I've had three c-sections , That's how I got fat in the first place lol, I started at 206 and I'm down to 156 or 157. I have a hard time seeing a difference in the mirror but it is extremely noticeable in pics and I measure myself on the first of every month. the tape measure doesn't lie and it is a better indication of the changes in your body. you will get discouraged but don't give up. it takes time and effort and ALOT of patience but it will be so worth it when I finaly get to my goal weight. you'll get there and it will be awesome. best of luck.

I have had 5 pregnancies, the last set being twins and the very last baby was taken via c-section. I had 60 pounds (including pregnancy weight) to lose after my twins. I was around 200# when I had them and now weight between 135-140#.


Here was my tummy a few months after the section:

Here is my stomach currently:

Wow you look amazing

I've had two c-sections... and I topped out at about 180lbs each pregnancy even though I'm only 5'4. My last c-section was in 2009 - the c-section bump isn't entirely gone, but I've been working hard and it's come down considerably. And I managed to bring my weight down to 120lbs.

Just posted some pics I took of a few dresses I am debating wearing for my reunion, which I consider a success:

I am so glad someone posted about this! I am having SERIOUS body image issues due to my post par-tum body c-section belly. My first pregnancy (which was 3-4 years ago) I gained the same amount of weight and weighed the same, I was able to have a normal birthing experience and do not remember my belly being so flabby. I also have a significant Diastasis Recti that I didn't have last time, which is also making my belly poof out, almost making me appear as if I am still pregnant.

I know I am still hormonal and everything (my baby is only 2 1/2 months old), but I really can't look at myself in the mirror and I don't want to be naked in front of my husband (my husband is not affected by the way my body looks and says I look beautiful, but I really want to cover up my abdomen when I am in front of him) I have literally cried about the way my belly looks and the size of my pannis or what people call "muffin top"

I know mood affects motivation, which is why I just joined this forum. So thanks to those that have already posted about how they were able to get their bellies back.

I had my daughter naturally, but had an emerg. hysterectomy 2 weeks later so I have a HUGE scar and no feeling. I do bicycle crunches, and they seem to work slowly but surely.
