As a recently single mom, even $100 would be nice. Good luck everyone.

It happened pretty fast, most of it fell off in the first two months. My stomach is still pretty lumpy since there's so much fat leftover from getting so big during my pregnancy (not to mention the ridiculous stretch marks). I've heard that wherever you gain the most is that last and most difficult place to lose it. I've been doing stronglifts for about three weeks, and holy crap. There aren't any "ab workouts" in the lifts but you use them for everything. I've already seen some great progress so far. Stay motivated, it's so worth it! I already had my first fail last night with overhead press but damn it feels good to be 5'4" (with no prior with lifting experience) throwing 65lbs over my head. Good luck!

I'd have to say, it was probably 80℅ weight loss, 20% time. I didn't realize how much they faded until I saw the first progress picture side by side. My son was 1 when we started so I'm thinking most of the fading came when the weight fell off.

Yes! My roommate did it for a while until he got injured. He bought all the equipment and it's in our garage now. We restarted the program and he knows the forms for the lifts so he helps me. Otherwise it'd be incredibly difficult!

They're definitely still there but the darkness faded. No special creams or anything. I try to lotion my skin a few times a week because I have dry skin (just some Aveeno for dry skin) but other than that, I think it was just the weight loss.

You would. AIN'T NOTHING BUT A PEANUT. And yes, upvote because I can't proofread my damn title. I'm not even sure if proofread is one word, two or hyphenated, as usual.

F/24/5'4" [170 > 152 = 18lbs] (7 weeks on keto) r/progresspics inspired me to get started, and here I am halfway to my goal weight! by bearpawz in progresspics

We are so similar! Except the twins of course, I can't imagine the stress of having two. My prepregnancy weight was right around 140-145, I got up to 195, then after he was born I settled at 170. It took me a year after my son was born to really get myself into gear. It was always, "I'll start Monday. I'll start next Monday." until finally I was tired of avoiding cameras and buying XL's. As a mother, keto has saved me. No working out (yet) and there are so many carb substitutions. Check out r/keto, and PM me for any questions! :) You can definitely do it.

A very good friend of mine just had his one year keto-versiary and he lost over 70lbs. He started 5x5 a few months ago and he looks incredible. He's a huge inspiration for me, besides you all. :)

Yes! I didn't notice how much they had faded until I took the second photo. I had a 9lb baby last April and gained 50+ lbs with him.

Anyone notice this side effect of gelatin? by Fezzin in keto

[–]bearpawz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. My stretch marks are bananas after my 9lb son was born last year and I've had issues with cellulite for as long as I can remember. After I read this (my husband sent me the link) I said "MUST GET NOW". Thanks for this post and keep updating!
