    You look amazing!! I am almost 5 years post pregnancy and still working on getting rid of my pregnancy tummy. :) I had been falling back on the excuse that it was from pregnancy and I'd never get rid of it, but you are keeping me honest and motivated! :smile:

    Thankyou all so much! I do have tons of stretch marks but fortunately they have turned silver white and are harder to see on my fair skin....they used to be deep purple and did take a while to fade....I can strongly recommend helichrysum essential oil to anyone with stretch marks (I got mine from E-bay)...add a few drops to your moisturising cream and rub in everyday....plus I took collagen for about 2 months which helped the scars (stretch marks) heal....do that's my 2 secrets! Even my husband was amazed by the results on the stretch marks! I hope others of you have the same success using them, I honestly can't recommend them enough!!!

    Thankyou all again, you've made my evening!

    Wow, that's awesome. I just had my son son almost 2 months ago. I hate my post pregnancy body, especially my tummy. This is motivating.

    Just like everybody said...this is awesome! I am not as skinny as you but had similar results about 15 months after my first son. I didnt do anything for the first 12 months as I was nursing him. Then I did 2 6 weeks bootcamp sessions back to back with tracking my diet on MFP. I lost all the weight and practically got a flat stomach back. I must say though, my baby was only 6 lbs 10 oz and I had half your stomach even at full term ;)

    I know it will be difficult this second time round though. My daughter is 9 months old and I am still nursing her. I have unfortunately gained about 10 lbs more during pregnancy than I did with my son. I still have that same delta of weight to lose before I can get to prepregnancy weight. I serioulsy hope that my body will bounce back. My stomach has gone in but have the pooch in the lower abdomen.

    Will definitely try the ab exercises you mentioned.

    Again, you look Fabulous!!! Congrats

    You look fantastic! I was HUGE with my son (he was just shy of 9lbs) and my tummy is flat now, too. It takes some work, but it can be done!

    IMHO you look amazing, if you saw my tummy you'd throw up! I have stretchmarks from the top of my ribcage until where your torso ends!
