Moms that lost belly hang, extra flab, stretch marks..

This thread is giving me hope. Everyone looks amazing!
I must take some before pics so I can hopefully see a difference, started back working out yesterday. Have been very lazy and unmotivated lately. I'm 31 and mom to 3 kids 11, 7 and 2.5. I hate my tummy! This thread is so motivating! Well done everyone!

Mega motivational. Well done to all the ladies who posted pics, you're all amazing :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I've had 5 children over the span of almost 25 years. The picture quality isn't that great in my "current" pic and it is only the progression of the last 35 pounds but I was really surprised with how much my stomach slimmed down in that last bit. Still looking to go another 10 pounds as I still have a bit of belly flab, but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Unfortunately, the stretch marks are another thing entirely. I suppose they're not AS noticeable now as they once were when the skin was pulled tighter (from being overweight) but they're definitely still there. They won't ever go away.





**Sorry those are so big

Here, I found a more "before" picture, at 185 pounds.

I am on here tonight looking for inspiration/motivation, worried I will never get rid of this overhang, its getting smaller but hanging lower where the fat seems less dense, if that's even possible. I know its getting smaller because pants fit better, but its still there for me (I've also been in a plateau for nearly 6 months because I fell off the wagon a few times) and so looking for some motivation to get back on track. This thread is making me feel it is possible! Though, not a lot of the bellies I've seen hang like mine does, so hoping as I keep looking farther back that I will see it. I have NOT had a C-section and only had 1 kiddo, but I've been overweight for nearly 20 yrs, so I have a lot of stretch marks from both having the 1 kiddo and then gaining weight after that and keeping it on for so long. You all look amazing and thank you for sharing pics that I'm sure have been scary to share, you should all be so proud of yourselves!!

Wow!! You look amazing.

Wow this is so motivating!! Bump

Bump!

I'm rather concerned about my legs right now. I hated how heavy they had become. Now I've lost 37 pounds, and not that much has come off my legs, it seems.

Hmm - so I'm noticing the photos I submitted to this thread were pretty early into my weight loss, and some ladies had mentioned that they were helpful.

I hope that showing ones from a little further along would be even more helpful! The belly area definitely kept getting better. Shortly after these photos I got pregnant again, and have just had my son - so we're back at this .

Now I'm curious, how tall are you?
