Here's my story:

Pre preggy I was 139lbs (5'8"tall).

Full term preggy I was 189lbs!

Post preggy 1-2 months I was around 150lbs.

Now, baby is 18months old, I'm 134lbs and still working towards my goal.

I amazingly enough did not get any stretch marks and really I was HUGE.

I figured the spirits of the universe wanted me back in a bikini again so I"m working hard to lose the weight and strength train so I can KILL in a bikini this summer.

I feel so blah since I looked at my pictures .... I'm working on doing a before and after shot so I took some this week. I look like my posture is awful and my shape certainly has changed. I lost the weight for the most part but now I need to tuck it all in and get some definition.

Anyone else out there going through the same thing and are you looking for a buddy?? (should i post the pics?) they are not really meant to be in the other before and after post since i really don't want to lose weight rather, strength train.

[guess no one cares - sniff]

there's a before and after pictures forum- post 'em in there

Yes I can post them there but I thought since I didn't really have to lose weight but rather tone it might not be appropriate.

This post was really meant to find a buddy tho. Someone to work together with in tightening our preggy bellies.

Hey SandraD, I'm with you heres my story

1st baby pre preg 122lb
at term 172lb
now 134lb

I am telling myself if I work really hard this summer I can kill in a bikini by summer! I however did get stretch marks and my belly is still huge and just hanging there!!! All that extra skin scares me I dont know if my belly will ever be anywhere near flat again. anyway I have been doing the treadmill 4-5 days a week atleast and am now starting to strength train. I have never been "in shape" or toned in my life so that is my goal now. I would love to work toghether my email is hornm2@hotmail.com drop my a line.....good luck marcie
