The MOM bod. I actually felt more comfortable in my skin when I was carrying my babies, nobody really ever criticizes a pregnant woman.
I've been 195, I've been 88, I've been every number in between, but I've never been happy.
Truth is, I was identifying happiness with being thin, because thin was always beautiful by most standards.
I've done a lot of harm to this body, but I can honestly say I'm at a point where I can look in the mirror and be ok with my reflection. I'm happy! I'm not happy because I think I look good, I'm happy because I no longer let weight define me. THAT is true happiness ♥️32 -
Coming from 220+ lbs to a place that I'll willing take full body photos.... such a win.

I can relate to so much of this. I never felt better about my body than I did when pregnant. I had no problem wearing body conscious clothing because my belly was supposed to be round. (Of course I also said I would breastfeed my kids until their bar mitzvahs if it meant I could eat ice cream every day and not gain weight.)

I know nobody uses the forums anymore but mom bod seemed like a fitting place to put it. I started out here as just a mom who put herself last for too many years. Today marks 4 years since finally deciding to take care of myself again. When I see moms with young children coming to the gym it makes me really happy for them that they didn’t wait so long like I did. Moms give so much, don’t feel guilty for including yourself in the daily list of needs. Truly everyone is better for it.💗

Ok, first of all, good for you Mel! You look fantastic and you're so right about moms needing to take care of themselves!
Second, yeah... where did everyone go. Where are y'all hanging out now? And is anyone still using this app/website to track?

Thank you!
I’m not sure. It’s almost like some of these people have a life outside of here.🥺
But if they have a new party spot, I don’t know about it.0 -
