So in the process of 14 months, I went from this: (9 months pregnant, 137 lbs) To this: (119lbs) By just doing Yoga, and nursing. I didn't alter my diet except to eat healthier, I increased my calorie intake quite substantially, as I was also breastfeeding my little girl. ((Btw, I gave birth to a healthy 7lbs 4oz child via c-section, which cut straight through some of my lower abdominals...)) But she's over a year old and I'm right back to where I was post-baby! WhooHooo! :2thumbsup: Peace, -Flowermama
Thank you! I have always lost weight/built muscle easily. I was very surprised by how much I lost and how quickly. I was told I'd probably never have abs again because of the c-section. HA! Showed them!
I love that picture of her you put up in your pictures. Priceless--what a little gem! And you look fantastic.
Beautiful. All mama's bodies are beautiful and tell a story not just of 9 months but of entire creation!
Great recovery! You look amazing, glad to see it can be done. Still working on my core and not nearly there, and 14 months post too
Do you mind if I ask how your hands came to be that way? Just curious. As well as being generally trim, that's an impressive lack of stretch marks.
Several theories: 1) (And most likely) my mother has a heart-shaped uterus, it was believed that I was tucked up into the 'curve' of the heart and my hands became embedded during the first few weeks when fingers and toes develop. And yes, I have all ten toes. 2) My mum worked as a Cardiac tech, in emergency at a big city hospital. It's possible she had done x-rays etc, not knowing she was pregnant and was affected by radiation. The good news is, it's not hereditary and my little one has all her digits. Yeah, somehow I got lucky about the stretch-marks, I have some on the underside of my breasts, but that's about it. I also used a lot of "belly butter" and I think that helped quite a bit.

You look great!! Yoga does wonders, doesn't it? What kind of yoga do you practice and how often and for how long? I've been doing a yoga/Pilates fusion and it is really helping me get my tummy in better shape, I'm not where you are though,,,,but working at it!!
