are YOU brave enough? (PP PIP)

Re: are YOU brave enough? (PP PIP)
I have about 7lbs left to get to my PP weight....they are being stubborn. I think this post is a great idea. Everyone has their goal...and we are all different. We will ALL make our goal. I was a gymnast for 15 years and ppl told me they thought I would leave the hospital in my regular clothes...don't think so. It has taken me 5 months to get to this point - hard work pays off. But sometimes, when I get discouraged because these last lbs won't fall off...I look at my son and it makes it all worthwhile. Weight and stretch marks may not be our ideal thought when it comes to our children, but the way I see it is this is your mommy tattoo. Without the pain, etc - our children wouldn't be here!
Before:
After: (I have this little pouch that just loves hanging out and unfortunately my linea has yet to disappear!!!!!! *poof be gone already grrrr*)
2 days PP:

Ha! Me too. I think if you look that good, you're not allowed to post a pic.
I look different than I did before, but I'm damn proud. I've worked hard!
Okay ladies, here are my pictures. I had a c-section and tried to get a good one of my scar, but it wasn't happening. Taken today just for this thread.
That's discrimination!
You look great!
Probably from jealousy
Boo!
Thanks, you do too!
I'm just being bitter. haha
I am going to steal you so you can become my personal trainer. I think your remaining linea is cute and you look great!
lmao, thanks....?
This is so true! We all have our own comfort level with our bodies. Kudos to EVERYONE who posted pics on here. I applaud all of you who worked hard after having the babes. I haven't done a damn thing and that's why I look the way I do. I'm heavier now than I was 6 weeks pp. That's because of the choices I make. Doesn't make me better or worse than anyone else. We're all different, but we have one thing in common. We have adorable babies that we wouldn't trade for the world!
Couldn't wait until later to share, so I went to take 2 crappy phone pics in the bathroom. Notice how I have so many marks from how tight my pants are now.
Do you want a freaking cookie?
Not technically 3-6 until tomorrow, but Goo was 2 weeks late, so whatevs.
Anyway:
Spanish chicks get dark lines :[
They're coming off slowly with each shower. Scrubba Srubba.
ETA: I was puny pre-preg. About 115 at 5'4". Gained SEVENTY pounds. Had an 11.5 pound boy [via unplanned c/s]. I don't know how much I weigh now. I refuse to own a scale. lol
Same here.
I just jumped on the bandwagon because this thread made me feel so much better. That first page of ladies are the bravest ones.
ew, i can't believe how rude some of you people are being. i think it's great that there are a few people who came out relatively unharmed (so to speak) and i assume that's what we all wish for, regardless of whether it happens or not.
i think it's really distasteful for people to hate on anyone's experience, including the people who aren't struggling with a frustrating PP body.
Okay okay. I'll play, even though I look worse than everyone else. I have a lot of weight to lose. I've only lost a little more than half of my pregnancy weight, plus I was overweight before pregnancy. So I have a long way to go, but I'm working on it.Just signed up for Weight Watchers actually.
Note the belly button that looks like a porn star's anus. And if you look closely you can see the PUPPPs rash I still have.
Y'all are brave! I'm back to my pp weight... but I def don't look like I did before. Stretch marked and squishy, with NO ambition to tone it up. I'll be getting swim shorts and a ruched tankini this summer for shizzle.
I didn't look that hot in a bikini to begin with so I'm pretty ok with the pp body and this beautiful little boy.
ETA: alright fine... I will be brave enough. And yes, I live in sweat pant and nursing tanks.
you clearly aren't ready to be over here yet! It's mostly banter and sarcastic witt. we all do it and we like it!
I'm not hating on anyone's experience. It's all about the tone. I read Nadine's response and I was like "good for her, she worked hard" I read the other person's response and it came off as bragging.
BAHAHAHA!!
Okay, I'll be brave today.
I am past my pre-preg weight and two pant sizes smaller so I am getting there it's just one looong journey! Now I just need to start toning!
*not sure why its showing two.
Sexxxay!
My goal is to lose 50 pounds more. That's some pregnancy weight and then some.
FYI- I love you ladies for this post.
I think we should get her one to make her fat!
J/K - I am just hating because I am still fat! 50 pounds gained/24.5 left to go. Sad part is LO is 6 months old and I had 24.5 lbs left to go at my 6 week PP appt which means I have lost nothing! Acutally, I did lose ten pounds on WW but then I gained it all back. I am blaming everything on my broken foot!
I will say that I have minimal stretch marks but I think its becuase they are all filled up with fat!!!!!!!!
oh, i must have misinterpreted the 'do you need a freaking cookie?' comment.
Oh goodness get over it and yourself. Its just being playful. One woman was being humble about it while the other was boasting about it IMO. But to each their own.
Well, that's a pretty douchy comment. Apparently only people who have road maps on their belly and have lots of weight to lose were 'allowed' to post here.
I have zero stretch marks as well, and am 5 lbs from my pp weight w/ DD#1. I've been working hard to lose the weight, so yeah, I'm getting to be pretty happy w/ my pp body. Is that a bad thing?
No. You didn't. I meant it quite literally.
How about we all just get along? Seriously....
Mucho Kudos to EVERYONE who is posting their pictures on this post. We are who we are because of our children. If some people want to complain, let them. If some people want to boast, let them. We are all here to help those who are seeking encouragement, and we are all here to congratulate those who have achieved their goal.
Its hump day people....half way through the week...so lets all play nice and be happy, because we all have beautiful children to be thankful for!!!!!!!
Can someone please explain to me WTF is going on with that tattoo?
thanks in advance
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
As I explained above, it was the tone of that poster that I rolled my eyes at. I didn't get stretch marks either. No on said it was a bad thing.
But, but, why? I haven't gotten out of my pajamas yet or showered today perhaps that would help my 'tude? I never looked hot naked pre pregnancy and I certainly don't feel that way now. I am a bitter hag. Carry on laidies. I'll see myself out.
