    What did your tummy look like after c-section before weight loss. Or did your tummy go down almost straight away? Shame you didn't post those pics.

    Well, here they are. I obviously didn't go from hugely pregnant to flat belly with no in-betweens.

    Again, bear in mind that my youngest child is 7 now, so it's been a while. The "heaviest" pics are when I weighed around 165-170 post c/s #2. That heaviest picture is probably a good 6-9 months post-partum. Then in order of left to right I probably weighed 150, 135 and 128-130. I'm now at 120lbs.

    Hi! I feel like I can contribute to a thread for once!

    I have 3 children aged 3, 2, and an 11 month old. I was basically pregnant for 3 years.

    I'm 5 weeks into p90x but haven't taken a recent progress photo. This was after 2 weeks:

    I have a lot of loose skin and stretchmarks but they honestly don't bother me. I just want to stop having having to pull my jeans up OVER my loose skin when I sit.

    Thanks for all the inspiration ladies! I've had 2 vaginal births and even though I've hit my goal weight I still have a belly and loose skin. I'm only 4 months post partum so I'm hoping with time and weight lifting (which I start this week, NROLW) that I can at least tighten and flatten my tummy as much as possible and hopefully tighten up some of this loose skin. I'm happy with the rest of my body, but this tummy is ridiculous.

    This is amazing. I am a 2x c=section mom too and have a horrible pooch! but hoping I can end up even close to what you guys look like.
    this is me. my youngest is 15 months and I'm hoping to lose at least some of the tummy pooch.

    Truly inspirational! I have my stretch marks and those don't bother me...it's the fact that I have jowls. I gained 65 pounds with my twins, lost 45 pounds, then got pregnant with baby girl and gained 50 pounds(so I weighed even more than with the boys), and I'm finally to my pre-pregnancy weight (which obviously wasn't great). So yes...three babies under 2...ack! I survived though. LOL. I'm working on losing some more but mainly want to tone up all around.

    My question...who seriously had jowls...I'm not talking pooch, I'm not talking "loose" skin...I'm talking hanging, sagging skin(anybody see that episode of Jon & Kate plus 8 when she showed her tummy before surgery...think that)? Mind you I'm 3.5 years out from my youngest and I still have that.

    Other question...any of you have a diastsis recti...I've been told that can only be corrected by surgery since I still have it this far out from having children? My abdominal muscles separated when pregnant with the boys, and, although better now than closer to being post postum, I still have a three finger width separation. Just curious.

    I have had 6 kids, 2 of them by c section (yes I said 6). I am only about a third of the way to my goal, but I have resigned myself to the stretch marks and loose skin. I had an emergency bowel resection in the middle of the kids, so I have a scar that goes from my belly button down to the c section scars (not attractive and def accentuates the "jowls"). I do also have the separation thing (never knew there was a name for it) and I didn't' think there was anything that could be done. Battle scars to be sure. So IS there something to be done or do I need to go back to resignation?

    I didn't have a c-section with mine, but I have to say, I am so impressed with not only how you look (because you look absolutely FABULOUS), but with how c-section scars are so much better these days in terms of being more non-invasive and minimal on the body. I've seen some from 20 years ago that go all the way up the abdomen, and the ones now are so much cleaner!

    Good for you, because you look pretty dern spiffy! ;)

    Wow! Wow! Thanks so much for posting and for the inspration.
    I have had two C-section babies, my son is 4 and my daughter 17 months. I gained about the same as you with both.
    Unfortunately I have stretch marks but at least I know now that the skin should shrink back

    Thanks for that - you did well. You're lucky you didn't seem to have much of a pouch (unless can't see it) which I have under the belly-button. My profile pic doesn't show the pouch under my belly-button. Hoping that will firm up when I lose it.

    I'm so glad that c-sections are now performed with a horizontal line rather than vertical. I had a horizontal - much easier to hide then vertical.

    I had jowls, and separated abs, both I had fixed with a tummy tuck in January, these things I couldn't fix without surgery. :/ I would do it again in a HB! :)
