    Lying on your back & lifting both legs off the ground several inches and hold as long as possible. It works!

    I'm so lazy haha. I wasn't even thinking about my weight after 6 weeks. 3 months on and its just hit me haha. I was so bad with eating in pregnancy. Anything savoury made me feel sick!
    Are you eating a certain amount of calories a day? Xx

    Hi. I have quite a split in my abs still so I'm not supposed to be doing much ab work. I do try to tone my transverse abs by "sucking in my stomach" and holding it. That seems to help a bit. I also work my obliques by standing and holding weights and doing side crunches(?) Not sure that's what they're called since I'm standing instead of lying down. I use somewhere between 15 and 20 lb weights.

    Anyway, I'm 196 lbs (I was 210 lbs in January). My initial goal is to reach 170 (my lowest weight post-marriage/pre-kids), but my stretch goal is 155. I haven't been 155 since high school, and I thought I was fat back then. Ha!

    Oh yeah, I have the app set for me to lose 2 lbs a week, so that equals 1340 calories for me. I used to have it set for 1.5 lbs per week but I was still eating too much junk and not seeing much weight come off so I lowered my calorie allowance.

    I have only stayed under this new goal one day of the past 2 weeks (I just still try to keep as close to 1340 calories as I can), but the weight is coming off pretty easy again.

    I also run 3 times a week (somewhere around 1.5-2 miles each time) and do Zumba 4 times a week.

    HW: 260lbs
    CW: 146lbs
    GW: 120-130
    Ultimately I'd like to be 20% BF and could care less what the scale says when I get there.
    Height: 5'4.5"

    I'm a mom of 2. My first son was born in Dec 2011 (c-section). About 6 weeks or so after I weighed myself and to my horror was 260lbs. Needless to say my drivers license also came up for renewal around then. My second son was born at the end of May 2014 (c-section). I did lose weight between the pregnancies and was around 170lbs when I found out I was pregnant.

    I recommend reading "So You Want a Nice Stomach." It's a thread stickied at the top of the General Diet and Weightloss Section of the forums. The lady who wrote it not only has amazing abs, but also has kids and was obese for awhile.

    Currently, I'm doing Stronglifts 5x5 (strength building program using free weights) and I really need to add some exercises for my back end. It's as flat as a pancake after all my weight loss. I have to say, that my stomach isn't really a main focus. I must be doing something right though, because it seems to be slowly tightening up (and the little overhang over my scar is getting smaller).

    With my first pregnancy I went from 160 to 260.
    I had gestational diabetes and that took me three years to get down to 175

    I had my second daughter 4 months ago and I refuse to take three years again,
    Starting weight 215
    Current weight 201
    Goal 160

    My best friend for my tummy was Zumba and running! Running helped shape my body and help with my mummy tummy the most I have just slowly started walking but I can't wait to get back to running again!
