    Ok, I'll be brave. This is only 60 pounds lost. I'm 39 years old and my last baby (I've had 4) was 14 years ago. I have a lot of stretch marks, so it doesn't look good, but it's a lot better than it used to be. I have lost an additional 7 pounds since this picture was taken, and still have about 10 to go. When I feel my belly, I can feel hard abs under my skin, but not sure I'll ever be able to see them because there is a lot of extra skin sitting on top of them (along with a little fat still sitting there, ugh).

    I think you look wonderful! Especially for having 4 kids! :flowerforyou:

    I will be brave and post some pics! My stomach is definitely a work in progress...... but it is what it is! After having 3 kids by 3 c-sections I am learning I have to accept my new body.I have 26 pounds to go and then I will focus most of my time on toning up. :o)

    I love this article. It give me hope: http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm

    I have lost 85lbs and my stomach is a mess, but I know it will get better. If I can get my body fat low enough then it won't make my skin hang. I'm aiming for 12% so I can have abs :)

    Best of luck! We can ALL do this!

    blame it on the baby! haha. seriously though, it can take up to two years for your skin to tighten back up after a significant weight loss. Congrats on the weight loss and the new baby! :)

    Hi! I'll be brave too ;). I actually lost about 70 pounds before I had my son. I lost the pregnancy weight within a year after his birth along with an additional 12-13 pounds. I am currently 163, down from a high of 247.

    I lost the weight with diet, running, and am currently weight training. I think the weight training has really helped. My tummy is rather jiggly and I have loose skin around my lower belly and thighs but it's not too noticeable unless I'm jumping up and down.

    Sorry for the bad quality....and the tooth brush ;).

    Big breath here....

    Bumping this up so I'll remember to post on Sunday. My 1 year MFP anniversary is Sunday and I plan on posting lots of pix (of tummy too). I've had 4 pregnancies so you'll see the good, the bad, and the ugly! Lost 90 lbs though and I'm pretty darn proud of the way things look now.

    What a beautiful website!!! I've never had any children (yet), but it's nice to know there is SUCH a huge supportive community. I think all mothers, future mothers, or aspiring mothers should visit this website :).
