I'm on my phone trying to do this, so I have no clue if it will work. Excuse my gross no-make up/post workout self.
I gained 80+ lbs while pregnant so I have quite a few stretch marks. The first one was in July.. 2 months postpartum and 160ish pounds and the second one is last weekend (7.5 months postpartum and 128ish pounds. I eat as clean as possible (very tight budget) . I eat around 115-180 grams of protein a day and usually under 100 grams of carbs (or more sometimes- I'm not a strict carb counter by any means). I started with 30 day shred a few times a week, but had joint problems and it was very hard... Eventually it got easy though. Now I'm doing a hybrid of Ripped in 30 with p90x (on day 30). I need to get some heavier weights when I can afford them. I can't afford any kind of gym membership... So I've made the best out of what I can afford. I borrowed p90x and got the JM DVDs on amazon. I work and have a difficult 7.5 month old. There are times when I want to nap during the 45 mins he goes down for a nap, but I find the time and strength to work out. It's been hard finding time but I make myself a priority and find a way to do it. It's hard with a job and a baby but I do what I can and keep pushing myself further. 5 months ago I couldn't even do one push up. If you read my profile... I have dealt with my fair share of battles and deamons. I am proud to finally be healthy! I want to build more muscle and start lifting heavier in the future. Anyways, thanks for letting me share!

I did 30 day shed a few times a week with some brisk walks a couple times a week too for about 4 months, because it was all I had. It took me awhile to master each level. I know that's not the "traditional" way of doing it, but it's all good. You can add me if you want. I have a really good circle of mommy friends on here with babies that were born around the same time.0 -
Wow! You look incredible!
Personally, if I were you, I'd ditch any attempts to lose any more weight and just focus on your fitness. It's obviously working for you!0 -
Wow you look great! If you want more work outs that are free and you can do in your home, check out www.bodyrock.tv It's a super motivational site with people just like us on here post pics and talk about their dieting troubles. The hosts of the site upload daily work out videos. It's simply awesome!I'm on my phone trying to do this, so I have no clue if it will work. Excuse my gross no-make up/post workout self.

They are still there but have faded a lot with time. I think maybe all the core/ab work has helped everything"snap" back a little. I still have stretch marks on my hips, lower stomach, breasts, and legs but they are getting much much lighter.0 -
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic work! I'm so happy that the internet stars aligned and you saw my post when I first joined MFP - you have really helped me stay motivated and on track, and these pictures keep reinforcing that it will all happen in due time for me as well!
YAYAYAYAYAY! 0 -

Wooow!!! You look amaaazing!!! You are living proof that a successful journey is not about personal trainers, gym memberships or expensive diet plans. It is about how you prioritise you and how badly you want it, even when life and all it's inevitable curve balls are thrown at us. You are an inspiration 0
