You do realize though that those of us (me, I mean ) that haven't lost all of our baby weight "hate" you right??? LOL I just can't seem to get these last few pounds off and it's irritating the nuts out of me. I feel like a pack mule. That picture of you that you changed is a good picture though. You are very pretty. You know what... I think there is a good lookin' bunch of ladies here!!

I'm totally not happy with myself right now....I still have a little extra padding around my stomach that i wish wasn't there. I lost the weight with Mya like...the day i had her. This hasn't been quite the same. My body even handled the pregnancy harder this time too. I think I have bad posture too...after holding two kids all the time...for years. Slouching isnt very flattering Those are just a few decent pics lol

Steven is always telling me to sit up straighter, that I'm going to have the old lady "hump" when I'm old if I don't. Gross... Yeah, I have to make an effort to remember to sit up straight, otherwise I slouch really bad. I think it comes with years of leaning over patient beds, computers (leaning in to see the screen b/c my eyes were/ are bad), and now, holding all these kids... and Abby all the time. I have hurt my shoulder and need to go to the chiropractor to have an adjustment. My arm is all tingly and my hand is numb and periodically I have REALLY sharp pains in my hand. Almost carpal tunnel like, but I'm sure if I just had an alignment, I would be fine.

Just to chime in on the weight thing, i weigh less then i did before i got pregnant, however man someone should have warned me about the wrinkle dog stomach.... no matter what i do it will not go away... i told chris that he better get on the saving program because as soon as were done with the baby train the tummy and boobie train get borded and im getting lifted and tucked

Margeaux, I'm with you on the loose stomach skin. I am actually very thin, and lost all the weight pretty quickly, but my body will never be the same. When I was pregnant, I only seemed to gain weight in my stomach (35 lbs), so I knew that afterwards, things weren't going to be pretty. To top it off, after I gave birth, I got this rare gestational rash all over my body, and I really think it further messed up the skin on my stomach. Between the wrinkled skin, the stretch marks, and the discoloration that won't seem to go away, my stomach looks like it belongs to an 80 year old woman. I never would have considered surgery before, but now it doesn't seem like a bad option.

I told my husband that I am getting a tummy tuck after I know for sure that we are done having kids (which very well may be now after going through colic). I didn't think that I would consider surgery either, but my stomach is really stretched out and full of stretch marks as well. It is not a pretty sight. I used that Palmers cocoa butter stuff, but it didn't help at all.

Tamara, I have the same problem with my wrists. I had a little bit of carpal tunnel when pregnant (never had it before that), and now I've got it bad in both wrists. I actually saw the chiropractor yesterday to try to fix my back (also baby-related), and she clicked something in my wrists. It feels better now but still a little sore.

Yah, i never had a problem until this last pregnancy....Then I felt like i had just broken my wrist, i couldnt put any weight on it...itd swell, it was painful. Still is a lot, it comes and goes...its worst on days ive been carrying Brooklyn a lot. And my back. omg. I have horrible posture because i'm constantly carrying or picking up Brooklyn ...and shes like 21 lbs. Mya wanted to be carried for awhile after Brooklyn was born because she felt left out ...and was kinda put last during the whole colic mess. Shes 31 lbs....so between the two, i'm going to be a cripple
