in Success Stories
I have noticed there are not many belly pictures of women 200+ lbs SW showing the results. I was wondering if anyone was willing to show the after weight loss belly pictures, because i am really curious how i may look or if i should think about maintenance or whatever. I am looking forward to being hot in a swimsuit as I have never been able to (been obese my whole life) so ya pictures as well as SW/CW info, how long it took you, how tall you are. All this would be really appreciated!

    She started out at 260+. I think now she's around 160-185. I don't remember.

    I'm 5'6 and I was 220 about 8 weeks after having my 2nd child (who I'm holding in the photo). I was about 154lbs in this photo, and she had recently turned 2.

    I'm pregnant now so I hope I can get back to how I look in this photo! I'm not perfect, obviously, but I was happy with how I looked, and just wanted to tone up some more.

    Amazing! Gives me hope! I have a little hanging belly pooch and stretch marks and I'm sometimes fearful that it may never go away! How long did you start losing the weight? Would you be willing to share any before pictures? What types of exercises would you/do you do?

    I was hesitant at first to post pictures in my undies, especially the before picture. But then I realized that those are the pictures that encouraged me most 18 months ago when I first started MFP and browsed through the success stories for inspiration. So pardon the big white whale on the left but here you go, I am 5'4" and 32 years old:

    Slide1_zps86731040.jpg

    Since the last pic was taken in December 2013, I have started a 12 week weightlifting program and have high hopes that it will improve the lose skin on my belly and flabby butt. I am about to repeat this program, this time following the nutrition plan that comes with it, hopefully I will be able to post a new picture in 3 months!

    Proper fitting clothes are half the battle though, nobody has to know what you are hiding underneath :)

    I have wrinkly/loose skin when I bend over. Honestly I think a lot of it has to do with where you carry your weight. I carried some weight in my stomach (and I've had a baby) - but the majority was in my hips/thighs, and those are my trouble areas now. My inner thighs have a lot of wrinkly skin - so much that I do not dare to wear shorts - but I continue to slowly lose inches there and hopefully the skin will tighten up over time. I do not believe anything will remove stretch marks, but they certainly become less visible - and I swear by Palmer's cocoa butter to both help them fade and improve skin elasticity. I am religious about moisturizing and staying hydrated.

    I started losing weight about August 2012 at 269lbs, was 150lbs on Christmas Day 2013 (my goal), and I am currently 145. I have done mostly strength training with only a little cardio. My measurements are 36-29-38 as of 03/14/14, and were 42-40.5-50 on 04/13/13.
