I need some motivation to keep going.
165: Weight at Start of Pregnancy 1 (pretty steady weight my entire teen years, through 20's until i got pregnant at 29)
217: Weight at End of Pregnancy 1
173: Weight at Start of Pregnancy 2
203: Weight at End of Pregnany 2 (May 2012)
142 lbs: Current Weight - got down to 139 before maintaining at this weight since July 2013
So, I am over 20 lbs lighter than I have been in my entire adult life yet I still have a stomach that I can fold up on itself. When I do planks and look down my shirt I can see it hanging with gravity and it's all dimply and stuff. Will it ever go away or should I start to accept it as the new me? Even at 165, before the babies I had a relatively flat stomach (I am very wide framed and muscular). I don't want to lose any more weight because my hip bones and collar bones already stick out in ways I don't like.
I think I just need to see it's possible - or have people tell me it's not.

Do you remember Maria Kang, the 'fit mother' that got all the flack for posting 'what's your excuse'? Before she got banned from Facebook :grumble: she posted a photo of what her tummy looks like while she is doing pushups. Ripply and with loose skin. She has had 3 kids. But other than that, you can't tell because from all other angles it looks pretty darn flat. She has a blog under her name if you want to check it out. There is hope!0
