    I'm right there with you! 41 lbs to go as of today! And I DEFINITELY have a mommy belly. I think I still look pregnant (15 months postpartum ...ugh) my hubby says otherwise...but I just think he loves me & that's nice. Lol

    Hi there, here is a site (similar to My Body Gallery for all shapes: http://www.mybodygallery.com/) but this one focuses on during and after pregnancy:

    I found it very helpful to be realistic about my belly! I wear 'mom pants' now ... grrrr.

    I dont have pictures, but would be interesting to see what bellys look like before and after, I have seen a few mommy bellys before and after, but i really think its down to toning up. I too have 50+ to lose. Good luck !! :bigsmile:

    I had pics on my old computer...after my first two kids (I was 18 and 21 when I had them), my belly went right back to the way it had always been. I was so young! But since having my last two kids at 28 and 31, my belly has been UGGGGLY! BUT...I also haven't been down to my ideal weight since I was 25 (I'm 34 now) so I'm wondering if, when I finally get back down there, my belly will look good again! I'm interested in seeing pics too!!

    Thank you for this site! It does give a realistic view. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in my endless stretch marks and access skin!

    Haha well there have been those times when I've said "I can't wait until I look like I used to" and he said "me too" haha. But hes a pretty mild mannered guy, and he's really supportive.

    Sometimes I wish he would say what he wishes I would change because I think it would motivate me. And boy do I need motivation!

    I haven't had kis. But after rapid weight loss I have been left with a belly that looks like I've had kids. So depressing seeing as I dint have kids to show for it lol. Desperate to get rid if it and would rather not have a tummy tuck lol.

    That is so inspiring and gives me hope! I'm only 12 lbs. away from my goal weight but I definitely look like I'm still 20 weeks pregnant lol.
