Re: Any brave mommies...?
Posted by julz33
3 months post partum I was back into a bikini.
Skin was still loose and I still had a muffin top at this point though.
Standing up I looked fine, but sitting or leaning over you could tell I just had a baby.
IMAGE
You can see the loose skin better here with me sitting down
IMAGE
Here I am 8 months post partum. At this point still was 10 lbs above pre pregnancy weight, but had been running again and was getting more toned. ( i tried to hide my messy room with the black frame )
IMAGE
Here is 1 week before Landon's 1st birthday
IMAGE
I don't think I have others since I am always the one taking the pics, but if I find any I will post.
Now my sister looked like my 1 year picture at 3 weeks post partum!
Don't worry, you will get it back! 
How did you get your skin back to normal? Mine is still loose!!!!!! I'm back into my prepreggo cloths and i wear a 2, but i still have a mushy belly.

The skin got tighter over time but never really back to normal.
You can only really see that the skin is loose when I bend over, or when I grab it
I would say it took a good year for it to tighten enough that I didn't feel self conscious.

Chelle and DanaRenee and a bunch of other moms are my inspiration! You would never know they had 2 babies!!
Awe thank you! 
I'll be brave  After gaining 40+ lbs with #1 and 30lbs with DD, 2 c/s....
A lot of hard work...that's the secret! and don't mind the bellybutton scar, that's what happens when you don't take your belly ring out early enough

I am unable to contribute to this thread in any, way, shape or form.
Those are "do's"
I can post a "don't" if you want to be inspired by what you don't want to happen to your body

ITA with everything ChrisDee said. Here ya go Hayley:

Love you girlie but NOT A CHANCE, especially after ChrisDee's pic
Hey now don't be stealing pics of me... 
I am now beyond depressed  I am at the weight I was before I ever got pregnant. Hell, I weigh what I did in HS. But my belly is destroyed. My skin is all lose & scruncy. I've never exercised hard core, but even when I've tried, it has never changed. I'm still very young & feel like I have so many years left of despising my body

Re: Any brave mommies...?
I really don't see how my stomach can possibly go back. It seems unreal.
I went into a spiraling depression on my belly after baby #1. I was in a size 8, still looking like frankenstein.
I stopped trying after that. now this time, I am putting my best effort into it. It will be far from what people have posted...but i still should have nice legs, ***, and arms.
my stomach is stretch marks all over. my c section scar is big with this dead skin hanging over it. looks like an elephant.
i see the bodies...my mom's group has the bodies. no stretch marks.
eta: i have pulled up my shirt and shown off my goods to other moms...they are all sort of shocked with what i have left and the size of my scar

Re: Any brave mommies...?
everyone who posted has given me hope the one thing i fear about my body after pregnancy (even more than saggy boobs and stretch marks!) is not having my stomach go back to normal - i have always, my entire life, had a skinny flat stomach...for my wedding my waist measurement was 23 inches -i'm really small and i have a teeny waist. my stomach is the only part of my body that i like and i don't ever feel i have to "work on" it....i know it sounds horrible and vain but i think it would really depress me if it didn't go back to normal after pregnancy...but seeing you guys who posted makes me feel better! you guys look great - what sexy moms we have on here!!

Thanks Lis...
Maybe if I'm feeling brave I'll take a pic and FM you later.
My skin is so loose! It looks freakish when I'm laying down! And my stomach gets HUGE after I eat! It gets super bloated... I dont' know why!
It looks OKAY in the morning (not great) but by the end of the day it's YUCK!
and my belly button looks deformed! It's so depressing...

Thanks Hayley! But I hate the way I look right now. I have no lost 1 pound since my initial weight loss and I don't know why.
I am sure you look fabulous as always. Give yourself some time and a lot of credit.

Re: Any brave mommies...?
 i am sorry you are unhappy with the appearance!!
i am sure your belly is still the envy to everyone else. you just notice it more b/c well, it's your stomach you know every flaw line and curve...
i want to say that i caught a tail end of a segment on the view ( i think dr oz was on) and he and elizabeth hassleback were saying something about after a pregnancy .. it can leave a big gaping hole in your stomach and the muscles do not reattach for some women..
again, dont quote me bc i caught the tail end..i'll have to google it now!

Thanks Katie..
I'm in a total RUT!
I haven't been losing any weight either (see d&F lose 10 lbs by july 4th thread).
I go up down .8, then up .8, then down .6, then down .4, then up 1 lb... it's crazy.
I gained 47 lbs and have lost maybe 35 but can't get the rest off. I'm just not happy with how I look, KWIM?

Re: Any brave mommies...?
maybeamommy i just looked at your pics (i actually remember you from liw!) and you are so beautiful! i am sure that your belly looks great - it's probably just not exactly the same to you as it was before....but to everyone else i am sure you look fabulous! you have a beautiful family and i am sure you will feel back to normal eventually - don't let it get you down too much...everytime i talk about my body fears to someone who has had children they tell me it all goes back eventually...and you're tiny to start off with so i am sure if you work on it you'll get to where you want to be!
