    Thanks ladies for sharing your pics and journey, I know now that with persistence and the healthy eating and right exercise, I will lose my belly. I weighed myself 19 april as my starting point 92.3kg about 203lb, so 5 weeks this sat i have completed MFP and to date lost 6.6 kg (15lbs) and I can already see the difference, now I can see the scales instead of having to move my belly away.....your all truely inspiring, my journey has only begun and I cannot wait to see the difference in my body shape....one question? Did you lose from your bust? I am hoping to as currently a 14 (Aus) double G. :noway:

    My starting weight was 200. I am only at 187 right now but I have lost more inches than anything! I also have lost 2 pants sizes. I still have to tone my stomach area but I can feel some abs peaking through there waiting to emerge :)

    the left is from the beginning of march. the right somewhere in between then.

    the left was taken may 1st. the pink was taken yesterday, may 20. 20 day difference between the two.

    Still getting better -- it'll happen ladies, just keep working :smile:. Still 15-20 lbs from goal, but I'm finally getting to the point where the abdominal fat below my belly button is starting to flatten out instead of bulge on either side of the belly button.

    Bump...because you are one of the first success stories I saw here when I start a few months ago and I am ECSTATIC to see you have kept going!! Congrats!

    To add to this, I am glad to see the change in your lower half as well. :) gives me hope on that end of the spectrum.

    I'm 5'8", 27, with 2 kids. l weighed 235 during both pregnancies and was still 215 when my youngest was over a year old in Nov 2009 when I decided to take control of my health and lose the weight. It took me about 6 months to lose 55lbs and I had maintained around 160 ever since. I kind of fell off the exercise and healthy eating wagon about 9 months ago though and was just feeling run down and looking flabby. I started an *amazing* workout program called Turbofire on 11/12/12 and have lost an additional 20 lbs and finally lost the belly pooch and am in the best shape of my life.

    Ummmm story of my life. I went from 224 to 164 in a year and maintained 165-170 for two years. I am back on the horse now and just started a hybrid of Chalean Extreme and Turbofire. It's good to hear that it can be done. I have high hopes!

    Thank you so much for posting your pics ladies. I thought after carrying 5 big babies I could never get rid of my belly but you've given me inspiration and motivation to try. Not sure how trim I could get as I have a lot of stretch marks but I'm going to give it a good go!

    I have a ton of stretch marks too (& I've only had 2 kids both just shy of 9 pounds), but they will fade and become less noticeable as you lose the weight. Keep up the hard work and you will get there! :) I've still got a a little pooch when I sit, but it is skin/stretch marks instead of the flab it used to be.

    Here's a close up before & this is a "good" picture of my stretch marks as I was 9 months pregnant with my second and stretched to the max, they looked so much worse after I gave birth dark red and raw :(. The second pic is a close up of my stomach area from 6 weeks ago (& 8 lbs heavier than now), but it shows the extra skin.

    I'm 5'5.5". I ate 1500+ a day, ran/did Zumba 3 days a week, and lifted heavy 3 days a week.

    Before, ~130

    After, 120

    Wow.... you look amazing! Did you eat back exercise calories? Sorry if someone already asked this question, I didn't read through the entire thread. Just curious because I'm eating around 1500 as well.

    Amazing!!! May I ask if you did anything special to prevent the dreaded hanging skin? I am so worried about that and am your height and my hw was 185.

    Man it blows my mind how the last 10 pounds makes SUCH a difference in how we look! I'm working my *kitten* off trying to kill my last 10 and it is by FAR the hardest to lose. I've been heeding advice others have given here about lots of strength training. It seems to be working, I'm slowly getting there.

    ^^^^this! Totally!!

    Omg omg omg you are stunning, I gasped out loud! Thanks for the update!!!
  • Wow! You look great! So how did you get the baby belly flat? I feel my core muscles are getting tight but I still have flab hanging there...
