Last October, I gave birth to my baby boy via c-section. I also had diastasis recti. My waist because of the diastasis recti was 46". I weighed at my highest 185 lbs. My son weighed almost 8 lbs. so I really weighed 177 lbs. I'm 5'1".

I dropped to 165 lbs. without trying, but I still wasn't content. I started counting calories, and I went to 155 lbs. I exercised a bit. This picture is when I was 155 lbs.

Then I just continued what I was doing, and I went to 150 lbs. Here is a picture of when I was 150 lbs.

As of now, I weigh 142 lbs., and I have officially lost all my pregnancy weight. Here is my current picture at this weight. I closed the gap by the way in regards to my diastasis recti, and my waist is now 29.5".

I still would like to get between 122-132 lbs. to be in my healthy bmi range for my height and large body frame. But, I am so happy to be where I am.

    The only part I don't know what to do about is the "pooch."

    Awesome job mama! Post c-section weight loss isn't easy. With my first I was so bloated with fluids, over the age of 35 and I hadn't lost a single lb when I left the hospital. It took me a good year to get back to pre-pregnancy weight. With my last, I was a bit wiser and lost the first 15 before I left the hospital and another 10 lbs the first week home. I was back to walking the treadmill by week 3 and back to pre-pregnancy weight by month 3.
