Moms that lost belly hang, extra flab, stretch marks..

Great job ladies, love seeing results like the ones posted. Great motivation for the rest of us.

Lets just keep in mind we are all different. We have different bodies and lose/gain weight differently. Some can get a nice looking stomach after pregnancy and some cannot. Its not about being perfect, more about loving yourself and being happy in your own skin.

I am realistic, I do not think I will ever have a flat tummy, my son was almost 11lbs O.o and I gain a lot of weight with him. I am not striving for a flat belly, but what I am striving for is a much smaller belly that allows me to go to the beach with my little guy and actually ENJOY it instead of being totally embarrassed to the point I wont even wear a bathing suit, shorts and t for me right now!

Keep up all the great work ladies!

Nikkilynn3271 wow!!! you've given me hope that I can get my belly to look ok, your pics are amazing,
thankyou to everyone who has posted pics, :flowerforyou:

Here are my pics. The first picture is from my twins (baby #6 & #7). The second is from February. I have lost a little more since then. I gained 80 with my first child and typically have gained around 50 with the other pregnancies. Each time it is a challenge, but each time I work it off. Good luck on your goals.




ETA - my ticker is since joining mfp. I have lost about 75 since their birth last February.

The belly isn't totally gone, but it's not hanging over like it used to!

You are totally a rockstar, and make me think that this is do-able!

Looks like the rest of women, who have had children. keep up the hard work.

Blessings to you for sharing with us. Motivation Major.

BUMP. So I can post when I get to my after baby goal! All you ladies are so inspirational! Great job!

You ladies give me some inspiration that my "baby belly" might some day shrink (of course my "baby" just turned four). You all are doing a wonderful job! Congratulations!

You mums look amazing, it is an inspiration to us all.

Can someone explain to me what all the bumping is about? I don't know what anyone means when they type 'bump'

Wow! All of you are doing fantastic! And I give you lots of props for posing in your undies.
I am currently working on losing baby weight as well. The lowest weight I have been in my adult life that I can remember is 219. That was after doing a weight loss competition with family and friends and losing 20lbs. I was at 239 before that. Kept that off for a few months then got up to 245lbs. Found out I was pregnant. I was pretty lucky though and only gained 20lbs during my entire pregnancy. I lost all the baby weight within 2 weeks of my baby being born. I was at 237lbs. Then my body just gained weight quickly the 2-3 months even though I wasn't over eating. I think it had a lot to do with the birth control I was put on. It was making me feel horrible. I quit taking it. I had gotten up to 254lbs. That was my highest weight ever without being pregnant. After I quit taking birth control my weight slowly went back down to 249. It was staying between 247-249 for awhile. I decided to restart my weight loss journey a little over 2 months ago. I am currently at 240lbs and going down. I told myself I'm doing its all the way this time whether someone does it with me or not. I am hoping to be to be almost at least 1/2 way to my goal of 165-170(haven't:drinker: decided yet) by mid July. My baby boy will be 1 next week and you mom's sure are inspiration. I'm hoping I can find this thread:flowerforyou: when I'm 1/2 way to my goal and then to my goal so I am able to share my success as well. Good job mommies!!!!

Bump so don't loose thread I think
