Rubenesque! That's me! ...only without the red hair.

I definitely have a jello belly (I love that term! It so fits) & lots and lots of marks...I didn't actually think women got stretch marks on their legs, but sure enough I have them all around my middle and occasionally down my leg on into my calves....sigh....

I keep telling myself that this is the same amazing body that gave me my wonderful son...and other times I just feel like a jello belly!

I've lost 30 of the 60 (!) pounds I gained as of 5 days ago, and haven't had the guts to get on that stupid scale since...but the maternity clothes are looser.

We'll get there, mamas!!

I've lost 20 lbs (by 10 days), but I've got 20 more to go to get to pp weight and another 10 for good measure

I'm feeling amazingly energetic, though, and I'm looking forward to exercising again when I get to 6 wks pp.
