    Me!! My baby is 6 months old so its time to start doing something about the awful state my body is in. Hoping to lose around 20lbs. I'm not a whole lot heavier than I was pre pregnancy but I was overweight then. I've been yoyo dieting for YEARS at this stage but I want to finally get myself in shape. Whilst I want to get in shape and remove this mass of jelly around my middle, I also want to increase my energy as I am so tired all the time.

    I started yesterday - kept within calorie guidelines (just about) and did day 1 level 1 of 30 day shred. My niece is going to take measurements and photos for me this afternoon.

    New to this site so if anyone wants to add me please do.

    Good luck to everyone.

    I`ve had 2!! The second one was nearly five years ago and gets sore and infected all the time. I really need to lose the weight to either cure this or if it doesnt my doctor will refer me for a tummy tuck. Feel free to add me:smile:

    I had a c-section almost 8 years ago and the scar is almost non-existent, but that bump is still there! I've just accepted that it is part of me for life:grumble:

    ME!!!! I've had 2 c-sections, one in 2005 and one in 2010. My tummy was never terribly flat or tone to begin with but that lower "flab" that I can literally lift where it folds over my scar, just bothers me soooo much. I started on this journey to lose the weight 3 months after my youngest was born and reached my goal weight in May 2011 after 11 months on Weight Watchers. I have been able to maintain that weight loss for the most part, with some flucuation for a year now but until now I never committed to exercising. I am doing Jillian Michaels 30day Shred and 6 week 6 pack on average 3-4 times a week, hoping to up it to 5 times a week. I have been doing it for 3.5 weeks and I see a difference in myself already but I am desperate to see more of a change in this c-secion belly!

    I had my c-section 22 months ago and I HATE this flap of belly flab left behind! I have lost about 30 lbs since joining MFP in Sept and I am 100 lbs lighter than the day I delivered! My pooch has gotten a lot smaller it still bugs the crap out of me. I have 30 more lbs to lose so I'm hoping it will get better but now I am trying to get pregnant again so I will have to start all over after the next one. Lol.

    dropping weight will help some but you also have to rebuild the abdomen muscles. My wife had 2 csections and lost all the muscle strength in her abs and lower back. Start doing daily exercises to strengthen your core. Planks, burpees, etc etc will help with rebuilding the muscle strength.
