    I gained about 75 lbs when I was pregnant. I went from a cute little size 4/6 to a size 14/16 at my heaviest. I had that tummy pooch like NONE OTHER. The first 2 pics are ones I took about a year ago in a swim suit that is my "goal bikini" (the bottoms are a size medium---I haven't been a size medium in the booty in like 7 years...sorry such bad quality!)...the 2nd 2 pics I took in that same bikini last week :) I still have some work to do, but I really started working at this in January, so that's basically my progress from January 2012 up until now!

    I want to post my after pics (because I dont really have any "before" pics). I had a breast reduction almost 13 years ago (I was only 17 :frown: ) gained 50lbs in college, had my son almost 3 years ago with a c-section, then lost another 40lbs so my body has been through the ringer. My boobs are saggy deflated balloons and my tummy has a pouch near my scar line. Ive always had a chubby tummy and that is where I gain weight first. I finally got enough courage to wear a bikini for the first time EVER last summer and I felt pretty good about it. Even though I dont have a "perfect" body, I still felt great and liberated! I do have pics of me in the bikini on my profile, feel free to add me.

    I have only had 1 child and he was a C-section and I was not in good shape prior but there is definitely a "bubble" pouch thing after - I have not worked hard enough to get rid of it in the 30 years since my son was born. A couple of years ago when I was at my first goal size, it was really noticeable through clothes. I can't afford any plastic surgery but would do surgery on it in a heart beat! However with my new found addition to Planet Fitness and trying to eat healthier, hopefully I can make a subtle change.

    It took me 8 months after 3 years of living like the aug 2011 picture. I don't know how to post pictures here.

    I don't have any pictures, but I have 5 children, and gained 50 lbs each time, so I definitely have the pouch as a souvenir. :) I can tell you, that Winsor Pilates is AMAZING for re-shaping and toning, especially the abs. If you can get the original, from about 2003, it is a classic. I do the 20 Minute Workout until I am strong enough to move to the Accelerated Sculpting, and it really works! Good luck!

    Ok - I'm jumping in! :embarassed:

    I had baby #4 in January. The first pic is from the end of December - IIRC, I was at 35lbs weight gain; I gained a total of 40lbs. The second two pics are current. Since having my baby in January, I have lost a total of 43lbs. I would like to lose another 35lbs.

    I hate my stomach! It's still stretchy, flabby and yuck. I also had hernia surgery so there's a scar from that under my belly button & a scar on top from my belly button ring. I'm 24, and this is after 3 kids ages 5 & under. I have no before pics. I actually weigh less now than I did before kids anyway.

    First off, it was so enjoyable reading this topic. Incredibly inspirational! Makes me ashamed that I don't work harder myself, considering the adversities some of you have to deal with (separated muscles and all).

    But I have a question for everyone. Hope you take the time to answer. :smile:

    I'm hoping to get pregnant within the next couple of years, once I'm done school and so on. It really is one of the things I want most in life, to have not just one child but several! :heart: Is there a way to prepare your body for childbirth? A site that tells you what to eat, how much you should gain, and so on? I don't know if I could put myself through surgery afterwards (money wise ++), and I'd really rather just "bounce back".

    Then again, I'm not a teenager anymore. I have a pouch and I'm not even pregnant! Eeek. :frown:

    Everyone is totally different in the way they "bounce back" some do some don't. Some come out looking better then before pregnancy. The eating thing and how much to gain, well I know that you don't have to gain weight pregnant, I know that if you are over weight you can lose weight pregnant. I lost 70lbs while I was pregnant, but my baby grew perfectly fine and she gained the weight she needed to. I was also 250lbs at 5ft 3. I was well obese. As long as your doctor doesn't mind it, you can walk and do pregnancy yoga and so on. I have a friend who is pregnant and she does all this stuff.
