Lost Your Lower Belly Pooch? SHOW IT OFF!

Ladies, you all look GREAT! I am 36, 5', and my thinnest was around 110 but that was in high school and after I'd had this horrible virus for about a week. I was 123 when I got pregnant and I went up to 170. I had the hardest time losing weight, blah blah, and about 2 years ago I was down to 133, and my husband came home from Afghanistan, and here I am at 147. My daughter is 6 1/2 and here I am still with 24 pounds of baby weight. Thanks for sharing and letting me know it's possible! I'll hang in there and post pics when I have some results to share
I'm aiming for my pre-preg weight of 123, but really, I have no idea what works best for me at this point. 0 -
Thanks for the compliments!
I figure since that last photo is from February, I should likely include an update:
WOW! You look amazing! Your body type is a lot like mine except it seems I may be a bit more of a pear. But otherwise, it is. This is amazing! It proves that slow weight loss (not too slow, but slow) is the best way to go!
We may have similar body shapes, then, because measurement-wise I'm certainly a pear. I'm glad I've taken progress pictures, though, because it turns out I'm not as exaggerated a pear as I'd imagined. I used to think my bum and hips were disproportionally large, but now when I review my photos, I realize my body is pretty proportional and that I need to stop being so critical. Below is the front-shot which shows my hips that are larger than my waist and chest, hence the pear shape.
HOLY ****! my inspiration!!!!0 -

Sparlingo, what an amazing transformation! You are a great inspiration to many. Have you finished your journey yet or are you hoping to tone up? Either way you look fantastic and should be really pleased with your success :flowerforyou:0 -

It's fantastic to see all these results and I sincerely congratulate you all on your hard hard work! All of you are the perfect proof that hard work and dedication pays of
I would really love it if some of you could share your workout routines! And I don't mean in general, as in, I go to the gym 3 times a week. I mean details. How many reps, how many sets, and which exercises? Any cardio?
Thanks a bunch in advance 0 -

Ah, ok. You can friend me if you like.0 -
My SW 198lb/89.9kg and during at 62kg/136lb (about 4kg/9lb ago):
And a week ago somewhere between 129lb and 130lb or about 58.5kg/59kg:
And the side during at 136lb/62kg.... (I'm 128lb now and it's even better!):
I'm 5'4" and a mummy and I've been fat since I was 7 or 8 - so there's hope for everyone!!
Wow, you look amazing! Did you have cellulite before and did it go away? Your body looks fantastic!0 -

Everyone seems to be saying that strength training, more specifically heavy lifting, really made a huge difference. What does that mean exactly? Machines, Free weights? What does "heavy" mean?0

Amazing progress shots....you have alot to be proud of!!0

Speaking for me, I have had two kids and carried them both low. I have a long torso, so my lower belly was my biggest obstacle. I have never heavy lifted. Now I don't have a completely flat belly yet. Getting there, but I do cardio 4-5 times a week. Always on a treadmill. I do it on an incline for 45 mins. Sometimes I jog at 5.5 but it is mostly a fast walk at 3.8mph.
I also did the 30 day shred. And now I just started the ripped in 30.
Here is my profile pic. I took the after a week or so ago. It is an updated after from the last pic I posted.

Go Girl!!Not gone (I still have SOO far to go!!), but shrinking -- I feel hopeful! This has been over 3 months.
I was mortified at what my lower abdomen looked like after having my daughter. The first 2 months of good weight loss didn't seem to touch my tummy, but then the third month showed a noticeable difference to me.
You are my inspiration! 0 -
Wow!!! Awesome results!!!!

Before, 152 lb, March 2012.
All the before and after side profile pics there was no sucking in. Just relaxed neutral stance. Front pics also no sucking in, but a little flexing in the afters
I was 186 going into the hospital to have my daughter. Didn't have the courage to take a true "before" photo. Now I wish I would have!
After, 128-130ish. July 2013. 10 pounds away from goal:

Have to say "wow" - well done! What a difference in the two pictures, you must be really proud of yourself. That has given me a real boost to try harder, I feel like I am only very slowly making any change, but in four months what you achieved is amazing! 0 -
3 month difference using weights, HIIT, plyometrics, and cardio!
Oh and the famous "leg" that seems to turn the ladies on to lifting! Haha
DAAYYUUUMM!!! 0 -
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
And this is why I decided to start lifting! Started for the first time yesterday! You look hot!0 -
go girl, good job of getting rid of that belly, there is hope for me after all. I just stumble onto that topic and this is exactly the topic that I was looking for; I had 3 kids, and 2 C section and I didn't think I would ever have a normal tummy again, but you just prove that with hard work everything is possible, so I'm gonna keep doing my insanity and walking and watch food intake.0
