    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!

    I reached 180lbs with each pregnancy, and my last c-section was in 2009. Right now, I'm 120lbs and I fit into a size 4 dress, and the flab, stretch marks and horrific shelf have diminished signifnanctly! I still have a little shelf, but it's getting smaller and smaller everyday...

    First pic is from last August, when I made it down to about 140lbs... the rest are current:

    Mom of 2 boys, now 4 & 1. 2 c-sections. I started out overweight before pregnancy so I think that was the worst thing for my belly. I had severe hypertension with my 1st & the stretchmarks behind my knees to prove it! I have loose skin too, it got worse the more weight I lost.

    Night before delivery, 5' & 211lbs. 3 months after this last baby....

    Lost the weight, 110lbs, 17-18% body fat. 6 weeks into heavy weight lifting, 116lbs, 15% body fat. The loose skin is low but it hangs when doing planks! Surgery is my only option.

    I don't really have a desire to have a super flat tummy like some of the ladies here but to get my pre-preg body back. I have two children, with each pregnancy I gained 60+ lbs. Here are my results in under two months.. I went from a large size pants to a small (same brand/make) and I reduced my BF% from 31 to 25% (WOOO "Healthy Range")


    From Jan 1 to Feb 24
