Absolutely one step at a time! I was lucky not to gain very much weight with my pregnancy (only 23 lbs) and my doctor felt that it had a lot to do with my build (I am a very tall and fairly large framed woman lol). There was plenty of room for my little man! Even with a normal gain, it took several months for me to return to my normal size and I got wicked stretchmarks. But, slow and steady is the key....your skin should tighten a little,...maybe not to pre pregnancy (mine didn't either) but who knows, when you get there your skin might look better than you expected. If not, then get the tummy tuck! I decided to get a boob job soon because breast feeding completely ruined mine lol!Holy smokes you look fantastic!! I am so jealous of your stomach! I had my first (large) child a year and a half ago, gained fifty pounds, and now even when I get down to my pre-pregnancy weight I'm going to be left with saggy stomach skin. My hope is to get down to my goal weight and eventually have a tummy tuck. One step at a time, right?
Anyway, you are GORGEOUS and your son is such a cutie! He is going to break some hearts when he is older!0 -

Let me start by saying that everyone on MFP has been so helpful, kind and inspirational...THANK YOU!!! These pictures are so embarrassing, but I worked hard for this so I'm sharing! I apologize in advance for the underwear shots...the before pictures were taken right before I found MFP and were originally intended for my eyes only, but ya know....underwear really isn't any different than a bikini so here ya go!!! You've been WARNED!!!! This is my journey, starting with pregnancy and ending with one happy and confident mama. I gained 23 lbs during pregnancy....not that much weight but I looked totally different afterward. The before pictures show me about 2 months after my son was born, I had already lost about 14 lbs just by watching what I ate. My goal at that point was to lose 10 more lbs and tone up. Since then, I've lost 15 lbs using MFP to track my calories, and doing a mix of Jillian Michaels dvds including 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, and No More Trouble Zones. I love the dvds and I feel like I had great results. I am now ready to move on to P90x, which I will be starting today! This time, my goal is not to lose any more weight, but I'd definitely like to build some muscle! Thank you for looking and I hope my success serves as inspiration to someone! Much love to you all!!!
Wow, great job0 -
Holy moly, girl! Awesome!0

Thanks y'all! Hahaha, I'll be starting my weightloss journey over again at the beginning of next year....just found out I'm pregnant with #2! So, new goals are to gain a healthy amount of weight with this one just like I did with my son, so hopefully getting it back off again won't be too difficult! Oh the things we ladies put our bodies through for those sweet babies....but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! Thank you all again!0
