I would not post on this site. LOL I'm not that brave.

But, there is a website out there for anonymous (if you want to be) posters to show their post-baby bodies. The website is just about how a post-baby body can be beautiful, too.

I weigh 30 lbs less than you and we are in the same size.

Hats off to you for posting. I am not brave enough though. Some women are lucky, they go right back to their slim self. I was not that lucky though.

OP you look good! A friend of mine was a teen mother. She said she was talking to this 14 year old who was having sex and wanted a baby. She tried telling her how hard it was, blah blah you know the drill. Finally my friend lifted up her shirt and said you still want a kid now? The kid shuddered.

Sometimes we get out easy sometimes not so much;)

my 4 pregnancies didn't do anything to my body, I bounced back to a size 6 each time.  Then mother nature kicked me in the ass and I got the 30 year spread.  Now I weigh 163 and wear a size 12 LOL can't blame my kids on that, I just can't get motivated to get off my ass and exercise. ugh

If I could figure out why my computer won't register that my camera is plugged into it I would post a pic for you. I got lucky, gained a grand total of...ready? 9 lb. and ended up weighing less then I did before I got pregnant without working out or anything. I have a few stretch marks on my upper legs from it, a few light ones on my love handles and my tummy is a lot less tight then it was but thats it.

aww thanks :)

i love your shape :) like a pear :)

 i did get very lucky on the stretch mark thing.. my grandmother had 7 children and not a single stretch mark!!

i tell my friend (who has pretty bad marks) that they are marks of beauty! she brought her children into this world and they grew in her belly. i dont think they are anything to be ashamed of!

(and i do have teeny tiny ones.. all over the freaking place, lol)

Add some more stretch marks in the belly area and that is my body.  I gained 50lbs I was 195 when I had my son.  I've stay around 170 since I had him (I wear a size 10-12) but in the last two weeks I've been watching what I eat and exercising and have lost 6 lbs.  I guess I will gain it all back tomorrow at the big Thanksgiving feast!LOL
