Former Flabby Backs and Overlapping Bellies! Progress Pics??

Calling all former flabby backs and overlapping bellies!

So, there is a wealth of awesome and inspirational before/after weight-loss pics up here, but there are two physical weight issues I've really struggled with perhaps most and yet seems pretty rare for me to find pics of people -- particularly women -- who have been there and have since lost most or all of: back rolls and an overlapping belly..lol

I've seen a lottttttttta ladies who might've been overweight or even obese before and may have had a large belly but it wasn't overlapping. I guess maybe the difference is that the belly of those without the flap tend to go more outward than downward, and vice-versa for those with. Also, I've seen "before" pics of ladies with some back fat but but not so much that they had multiple rolls -- maybe just one or two or none at all, even if they were overweight or obese!

Sooooooooo...with that said, who out there can share some of their "before" and "after" (or "during") pics where the "before" is a shot of you with an overlapping belly, back rolls or -- even better -- both! And, be mindful that the flap and rolls don't have to be completely gone -- just showing some progress!

Thanks in advance :)

    My belly overlapped right after having my second child by c-section.

    Pictures are almost 6 yrs apart. The before was maybe 2 weeks after having my 2nd c-section and I was still pretty swollen. I did not take care of my body or try to lose any weight till last year. The after is me right now it's been a crazy amazing journey!!

    I have done some of Jillian michales DVDs. P90x and some running. No gym membership required. Just eat healthy and move your butt. :D

    I feel like I'm spamming the success thread with my progress pics, but I'd love to get the ball rolling on your thread a bit more, so I'll contribute :smile:

    My actual starting weight was 164 lbs, but I didn't take a shot from the rear until 148 lbs. Here's my back progress (due to take new pics next week):

    I have the overlapping belly, too, and that has gone away! But again, don't really want to spam the success folder so we'll leave it at the back shot :bigsmile:.

    Truly wonderful pics and success stories. I must say, however, that my overlapping belly, fat back and water-wing arms may be here to stay. This is not going to deter me from my goal of losing more weight, however, my overlapping belly is severely so, and I think diet and exercise may not move my friend from its long preferred position.

    I don't have a good current side view but I think the front shows the belly has reduced a bit..

    I have a belly that looks like I have had several children....stretch marks, saggy skin....very much an overlapping belly. I'd love to see pictures or get ideas on how to help it because the last thing I want to do is work hard to lose this weight and then just have a big flap of skin hanging down :(

    I don't have any comparison photos, but i had dreadful hanging back fat rolls and a massive massive belly. I was on very high dose steroids for a very long time :( I have now managed to lose most of the back fat and now working on my muscles.

    Loving the photos so far on this thread, everyone is looking great!

    No miracle pills or drinks... all hard work. :smile: I got sick of my BIG belly and decided to change it. The last pic is the day before I ran my first tough mudder. I hope this gives somebody some inspiration.

    Great topic! I've been trying to find pictures and success stories of people with dual rolls in their belly area. As active as I am, I can't seem to get rid of the rolls...they're just smaller and hanging low!
