PROOF your stomach can return after having a baby

I was always told my stomach would never go back down, that my skin would be saggy and would never get back to what it was. It's been one year [a little under] since I started my workout. Ive lost 85lbs [which I gained while pregnant. My son is now 14months old] and I am in week 3 of P90X and man has it been a long time since I have finally started to feel strong again!

With some determination and motivation your body can always go back to normal no matter HOW much you gained. It's hard work but if you really want it, you can make it happen!

Wow! Amazing!! :hurray::hurray::hurray: Your tummy looks totally hot now!! What's your secret?!

And if you don't mind me asking, what's your weight and height? :)
 
No big secrets here lol. Just eating very healthy.. lots of veggies, fruits, protein, ... etc. Im also a runner so in the first photo is when I started running again. It was rough at first but im up to 3 miles a day [before I started P90X]. I also went to the High School track and ran stadium bleachers and did different sets of calisthenics around the track. It wasn't until 3 weeks ago when I started bringing in weight training [P90X] and now I workout 1+hrs a day 6 days a week with weight training, yoga, Plyometrics and Cardio.

Before I had my son I was 160. When I gave birth I was 240-245lbs. I now weigh 155. Im 5'3".

Thanks :)

I have only recently started using

Nivea skin firming moisturiser with Q10. I am also using ultra rich cocoa butter. Some people say creams and cocoa butter especially doesn't work but it helps. I have used cocoa butter in the past for cellulite and to promote good elastisity in my skin and it helped a lot. [not to mention makes your skin feel super soft]. I credit the flatter stomach from healthy eating and lots of working out. :)
 
Awesome... But....

Soon the little dragon won't be visible from the side view anymore!

Ah well, it will be looking forward as are you.

Great work!

I dont agree with this 100% though...I lost 150lbs, and although I lost it over a space of a year, I lost it by eating healthy and exercising..and not matter how much I want it..I have excess skin..which In my mind does not result in a 'normal' body (whatever normal is nowadays :)!!!)

I dont mean to be a douche, or start an argument..I just felt that it was a bit misleading..although definately not in your case!!!

Congrats again!

everybody's body is different...plus you lost 150 lbs, in comparison to her 85 lbs. if she had lost 150, she may have extra skin too?? who knows. like i said, everybody's body reacts differently to weight loss...


but good job girl, keep up the good work!! i was thinking about getting that p90x or whatever it's called...apparently it's worth the money, which is good to know.

Completely agree with you.. although OP did say no matter how much you gain...

But what you said is basically what I was trying to say, everyones different, there are no generic or guaranteed results..although I wish there was :(

Im a mum too, and im dying to get my stomach back, and some people tell me 'ill never get it back' and you have totally made me feel VERY positive about it all now that it can be done!!!!

Did the moisturiser help the stretch marks at all?

I think it helps fade them. My stretch marks, a year ago were very red and blueish in color and now they are the color of my natural skin tone... They have also shrunk in size and some have gone away.
