Just wanted to share my progress pics and give you ladies some hope!

I had two c-sections (2008 & 2009) and probably at least one or two more in my future

Here is my progress so far on tackling this belly fat/flap!!

    Awesome results! I had a C-section 18 years ago and will be working on that belly as the next stage in my journey! Very inspirational!

    Oh and...I must say that I LOVE that FLORIDA GATOR sign up on the wall! GO GATORS! :)

    Thank you! That's very comforting. :smile: I've had 3 sections in my life, and I hate that flap that hangs over. I do see it moving 'upward' though as I continue to lose. Thanks for sharing your awesome photos! You look so beautiful!

    I just did Insanity for 63 days

    Next I'm doing Hip Hop Abs and Brazil Butt Lift

    Was going to jump right into a second round of Insanity but I'm sure my body needs some sort of a break and I also need to see if the other two programs deliver results also!

    I owned Hip Hop Abs for about 3 years but never completed it, noticed I was missing a CD so I upgraded to a level 1 & 2 package

    I also did not go on some special diet - I just change some of my eating habits - moderation/portion control while having a cheat day once a week.

    I am always so impressed when women are daring and honest enough to show their progress so visibly! Good for you. I had twins by c-section. I too will be continuing the battle to lost that little pooch. It is very unattractive. I would not be able to rock my pooch like you did yours in your first pictures. However you have given me hope that all this hard work will pay off! Than:drinker: k you!

    I have an extreme belly flap from 3 sections, my goal was to get to my goal weight and then have a tummy tuck. But I have been secretly hoping that the weightloss would negate the need for surgery. You have done great and give me a little hope.

    I have had to 2 c-sections in 2 years and thought the flap might not go away, thanks for the post! Gives me hope! You look fantastic, great job!

    I'm not one to knock down a tummy tuck and I thought it was the only solution until I seen this video

    She did it all on her own (and beachbody programs lol)

    I watch this video a lot when I need to rebuild my motivation

    no weights needed - My husband wanted me to get P90X but I was sold on Insanity =)

    It has your cardio and strength training using your own body weight!

    If you don't have carpet, a floor mat will come in handy for floorwork.

    It's expensive but worth it.

    I was "preparing:" myself for Insanity by doing the Jillian Micheals shape up series but my third day into I just completely broke down and felt so bad about myself. Not easy working out when you have some skinny girl telling you what to do! lol

    So I was like screw it, if I truly want to change I need to stop these baby steps and just hit it hard!!!


    But man I haven't worked out so hard since Army Basic training!
