    I always love seeing these threads, and I'm hoping I can get the "after" tummy soon.

    I had already lost about 20lbs for the first picture. And the last and first picture are both around 160lbs.

    Here are my postpartum before and afters. I still have some loose skin and stretch marks on the lower part of my abs but I just tuck that into my undies :laugh: Clearly it looks way better once I lost the weight.

    Just wanted to pop in and say good job to the ladies in here!

    Don't forget to eat plenty of protein (I try to get 100 g/day). And remember: Abs are made in the kitchen! :smile:

    This, and STRENGTH TRAIN! I don't have any befores of my belly either, but I am still working on that six pack. I've lost about 4 inches in my waist.

    This just may be my favorite posts ever! This is so refreshing to see, all you mommies look AMAZING! My son will be 5 in December and I still have my mommy tummy, however I am determined this is my year to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. Seeing this pictures helps reassure me that I can get there. Great job ladies!

    Great progress!!!! You will be where you want in no time, but, yes, the stretch marks and minimal loose skin will follow =/ Focus on lifting, which will tone your arms and legs and your belly will tone itself up with them! I can't tell you how much stronger my core feels just b/c I can now *lift* heavy everyday items properly due to strength training---we're talking dog food bags, squirming children, etc, that I can feel my core engaged on. When mommy feels strong, the superficial marks don't matter!

    I love this! Thank you! I am working on becoming a strong mommy after baby #2. Bounced back like a champ after all natural delivery with baby # 1, but the tummy is a mess after baby # 2 turned transverse footling breech at 39 weeks and had to be delivered by C-section. :sad: She is healthy and perfect, so I am beyond grateful, but my tummy is a mess. I have the dreaded lower belly "shelf" above my scar, but am turning to strength training to try and address the big picture of strong mommy (and the shelf as well).

    Wow, everyone looks amazing! I had my son 5 months ago, lost all the weight (plus a little extra) and though I'm at a healthy weight (I'm 5'2", 117), I have a huge baby tummy lol. Looking to tone that up a little! I have never really worked out/worried about the crap I ate, but now that I have my son, I want to be healthy and strong! (Not just thin!)

    However he is 2 plus now and I've slacked a little. I'm on my way back to surpass that picture and be better than I ever was. We can all do this!

    Wow you already a inspiration to me. I have a mummy tummy and it bothered me before, but seeing people post theirs I don't feel shy about mine. I have the stretch marks also and baggy skin in tummy area, and i hoping to fix it with healthy eating and workout. Thanks for sharing :)

    This thread is great. My 3rd child is going to be 3 in a few weeks and I still have to loose 20 lbs. and tone up my belly. It definatley is harder after each baby, especially since I had my kids later in life (my 3rd was when I was 40) and my two youngest are 17 months apart.

    So, for the Moms that have seen real changes post-baby, you say weights rather than cardio?
