OK, so kind of embarassed posting my c-section/hernia surgery scarred, still a bit flabby belly, but I am constantly amazed and inspired by all of your stories here, so thought I'd jump in with my first few weeks' progress - slowly but surely everyone! LONG way to go before swim suit season, but I have to tie my gray comfy pants now or they start to fall down when I'm on the treadmil - lol

Keep up the great work everyone!!

    I'm glad you did... I didn't take a before pic, but I know mine's gone down too. Still not pretty, but it's my battle scars and I don't know who I'd be without them!

    Dont be ashamed! Everyone has somewhere to start. The beauty of imperfection is the possibility for improvement after all!
    And you look great, i can see a massive difference. And in just a few weeks! What typeof workouts did you find worked for you?

    FANTASTIC! What a difference! I too, had 2 c-sections and find that my c-section "pouch" is what is my hardest thing to get rid of....I'm finishing my 6 weeks of being with MFP and I've lost 13 lbs. I'm noticing a little difference in my belly...but, it seems that it's the one thing that wants to hang on to my body. However, I was able to put on my jeans without sucking in this morning and found myself a few times today, pulling the waist up! So...that's progress! Thanks for posting...makes me motivated to continue this trip.

    Nice!!! I had a c-section as well and find the scar to be a sort of annoying "zipper" that makes below it all tight and then the rest a floppy dangly mess. I've been noticing improvement there as well and it's so satisfying!!! Keep up the good work. :)

    Fantastic!!! :) That's a major difference - and if that much has changed in only a month - wow! Would love if you'd share what's working for you (what kind of workouts, what / how you're eating, and how much intensity you're bringing to this mission.) Whatever you're doing, it's working!

    I made it about 20 days into 30 day shred, then we got our treadmill, so I generally do a half hour of run/walk intervals (run as long as I can at a certain speed, or as fast as I can for a minute then walk a minute or two in between) for 30-40 minutes. I actually did a mile and a half at 5mph without stopping the other day - WAY further than I had ever gone before - I'm trying to convince myself not to HATE running at this point... I do modified pushups (straight body, but hands on the second or third step or our ottoman) and/or full sit-ups most days, too (trying to work my way up to 10 full-on real push-ups) I still occassionally do the 30 day shred as an extra bonus workout when I can fit it in - my diary is public, you're more than welcome to take a look (it is FAR, FAR from perfect! I get up at 4:45 so I can work out and be ready for work before I get the kids up and ready for school - if I don't work out AM it's too easy to get busy and skip it, and once it's in, if I can fit an evening workout in, it's a great bonus! With kids, I do my best to go all out and work as hard as I can - higher intensity, shorter time.

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone!
