Thank you so much! :blush: The stretch marks are still there, you cannot really see them in the pictures. However, they faded quite a bit. It's still weird showing my belly in public sometimes. It looks fit and everything, but a little scarred like I've been in a terrible knife fight or something :lol:

OMG. That is some serious dedication. Incredibly hard and you managed to push through until you liked doing it. Wow! Double wow! Great job!!

A 40 pound difference.

Beautiful curves and so fit! It is so hard to struggle with body image issues. You're very pretty :smile:

Yaaaay!! Good job and hooray for you!

Minus 40 pounds :blush:

Wow! Thanks!! :blush: That must be the best compliment ever! :smiley:

So great! And so true. Getting back up is the most important thing, well done!

OMG. What a transformation!! Now get on that ride and show them your abs! :wink:

Best compliment ever! :D Great job!!

You look super hot and strong and healthy! Great job!!! :blush:

You guys are so sweet :blush: I did use Bi-Oil for a while (like a month or so) but it did not do anything and if you ask me, people mistake the power of time with the healing powers of some useless oil. But that's just my opinion. They fade, but the lower part of my belly is still a little doughy. My daughter pokes it and…

Yaaay! Well done! I can see it in the face, too.

Hey, I am also a student looking for friends, add me if you like! :)

:blush: Awww.. thanks! That is very sweet. But notice: This is only my front... who knows what the other side looks like :grin:

Uhm... It just happened. The low part of my belly is still soft, you can feel that the skin is not as tight as it used to be but I didn't do anything else than exercise and eat healthy (and not all the time, believe me) ;) Sorry I am not the biggest help here, I just accepted the skin and BAM! A miracle happened. ;)

Hey, thanks! To be quite honest: I don't know. When I had baby food in my boobs as in the first picture, this type of sports bra did not support them enough. The one in the first picture was a cheap one though. The one on the right was more expensive and is fine for the fitness club, I do Zumba and stuff in it and it can…

Thanks! :) I do a strength routine that my fitness club created for me. Every exercise consists of three sets of 15 repititions. It's a full body workout, I just tend to gain muscle quick and you can see the change best in my belly. If you want to know all of the equipment that I use and a list of the exercises, it's…

Thanks! :) I don't believe in any of those lotions. Used them to the max during my pregnancy and they didn't do anything as you can see. I think it's just your genes. They will fade after a while. :)

On the first picture my baby was 4 months old, now she is 2 years and 4 months. So it took around 2 years. First I did a lot of cardio and HIIT, but for about 2 months I have been on a plan of 45 minutes of cardio plus 45 minutes of strength training. I do that 3 times a week and try to eat healthy and go by bike and stay…

Hey there, can I still join?

I usually do a 45 Minute workout routine that consists of cardio as well as strengh. I love high intensity interval training, I love sweating and pushing myself to see how far I can go. I either do 45 minutes on a relatively high interval setting on the elliptical, go to a dance workout or full body class or do 30 minutes…

How's that a mini-success? That is HUGE, girl! Great work!!!

That is incredible! And who's that one the right? Your big brother? You look like a totally different person, well done!!!

Look at your waist! Lost sooo many inches! Great job!!! :D :D :D

And another picture from the side:

I am 5.7 :)

O my goodness! I cannot believe that you gave birth to six kids! I look like a total blob after only one :O This is the most inspirational thing I've ever read on myfitnesspal. And there are lots of great success stories out there. You give the chubby mommies out there hope! And wow on handling everything in your life like…

Say WHAAAAT?! That can't be you in the first picture. I just can't believe it, that's how different you look! AMAZING job!!!
