I had my second child in September and I've been doing my fitness pal for two months now to try to lose all the baby weight but I still have that dreaded mommy pouch. My starting weight was 199 and I'm at 183 and my goal weight is 170 but I feel like I'm hitting a dead end and I need motivation!!!!

    I totally understand how you feel. The first pic is how I looked after having my third son almost four years ago. I didn't think I could lose the abdominal weight because it was coming off of other places on my body much faster. The tummy is the last to go. Be patient. You can do it

    @Bunny81s you look amazing!!!!! Thank you for sharing your pic - it's giving me hope and motivation. Like you, the abdominal fat is very stubborn, but I am determined!

    I had my daughter in 2012, I weighed 220lbs after she was born (I'm 5'9 for reference). You can still see my stretch marks and loose skin, no amount of exercise or weight loss will change it. I'm coming to terms with it. My current picture is around 127lbs with weight lifting and fitness.

    One word .. WOW!

    I dont have any pictures to share yet but I too am trying to get rid of my mommy tummy. I had 2 babies in 22 months and gained way more weight then I should have with my second. Im 10 pounds down so far and can already see/feel the difference. Time will tell if I get loose skin.....

    5'2.5" so I'm short. I could probably lose a few more pounds, but honestly I'm good with where I'm at. I just want to be healthy!

    I know mine isn't a huge amount of weight loss and I am still in the middle of losing weight. Here is my secret. Give up all drinks but water and coffee... no sugar added to coffee. Track your intake, I do cardio 4 days a week for 30 mins at a time. If I get bored I go for a 20 minute walk. I lift weights 4x a week, I am getting really strong. Know it's a slow process... Take pictures of your progress your eyes will lie to you but pictures and tape measure will not! Realize results will not be perfect but you will feel better, your clothes will fit better and you will feel stronger!

    I had my second child in July of '15. I thought I had done much better "watching" my weight when I was pregnant, but I still gained 40 lbs. :#

    Finally, in January I decided to do something for myself and signed up at our local CrossFit gym. I just want to be stronger, mentally and physically.

    Three months in and I feel I can definitely reach my goals! You can do this 1 day, 1 week at a time.

    PregW:170lbs
    SW: 140lbs
    CW:125lbs
    GW:120lbs

    Yes. Lifting and 12-15 min of cardiovascular, 5 days a week and then easy long cardio on the weekends. I also have been using MFP to make sure I'm getting enough protein and calories.

    Wow. You look great. What sort of weight training do you do?
