You just made my day. My baby was born on October 11th, and while I am not looking so hot in my skinnies, I AM IN. And that is alll that matters. Sure, I've got a solid 15 pounds to go (10 more for pre-preggers skinniness) but if I can stuff myself into some of my pants, I don't really care how they look. It just feels so good to not wear the saggy-crotch maternity pants. I'll take my bulgy muffin top any day over the hell of maternity pants. WAY TO GO, REBECCA!

"PS you do know the top of the muffin is the very best part right?" - rebecca

Love it.

Let me just say congratulations to everyone who has been even marginally successful in losing the-award-that-is-given-for-all-the-damn-work-it-takes-to-make-that-kid weight loss. Yay you, I mean us!!

But I hate the fucking muffin top. HATE it that every time I sit down I have to tuck my goddamn muffin top into my goddamn jeans. I mean, ewwwww. And I have a sneaking suspicion that the only way I'm gonna totally get rid of this is to go under the knife and I don't know if I'm totally ready for that yet. Oh well.

Thanks for sharing though. I feel like I belong to a muffin top club of sorts.

I just read your post on skinny jeans. You GOTTA see this little short movie. (3 minutes) I am a mom and actress at the Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles... And this sketch is all about skinny jeans, post baby belly (I call it a "booty belly") and... SPANX! It's embarrassing but ..pretty funny. Please post or spread around if you like.

I think I heart you for showing the world your fabulous post baby bod.

Rock on, rad momma.

2009-02-03T00:08:00.000-08:00

YES! Thanks for posting this. I'm 6 weeks postpartum from my first baby, 7 lbs from my pre-baby weight, and mourn my erstwhile sixpack, which has been replaced with this mushy cushion of skin, stretchmarks, and fat.

A word of caution here: Work the transverse abs for many weeks, to fix the diastasis, with lots of planks and cobras, before you do any crunches whatsoever.

Also, the Mirena? Is nice. Wasn't for me because I actually like knowing when my period comes. I opted for the Nuvaring this time around.

Awesome. I am 7 months post-partum and am still sportin' my muffin top. Those last 10 lbs are a bitch I tell ya.

I am so in your shoes.

I have an almost 4 year old son, and a 3.5 month year old daughter. I am praying for the day I can wear my cute jeans again. I refuse to buy fat clothes with elastic. ;-) P90X has been my saving grace....I "BRING IT" every day....

Now the IUD. I love. love, love, love. As I will never. ever. I repeat ever. Birth another child again.

I needs to get me some Quinoa. You look great! Congrats on your loss of 30 and your quest to lose 10 more.
I'm a new reader :):)
Your babies are gorgeous and I love the color of eye shadow you have on in the "Dont "f" with me about formula" video.

Awesome!! My little one is two and I still have about ten pounds to go. I really like to eat! I didn't lose most of my baby weight until after the first year. You done good!

Thanks for posting the pics, that was brave, not sure I could have done it. You are an inspiration!

You are looking much better than I would. What the hell happened to my body...oh yes, 3 kids happened. 3 huge boys.

Congrats to you on the 30 pounds lost.

You look awesome :D muffin top and all.. you are wearing your skinny jeans and your baby is just 4 months old!!!

My baby girl is 6 months old and I still have so much weight to lose.. and I`m moving to LA to live at the beach.. OMG.. I`m totally doing your diet from now on :)

You know what`s the good part about gaining all that weight?? The happiness and love that came as my baby :) and the fact that when we go out everybody looks at her and not me :D I`m a mom now, baby scars (aka stretch marks), muffin top and all.. but I don`t care, I know I`ll lose weight and look good on my pre pregnancy clothes again :)

Congrats on losing all that weight!!! I know how hard it is :)

You are doing great!!!!

2009-02-01T12:40:00.000-08:00

Yeah, Rebecca! I can honestly say your stomach's about half my size and I've never been pregnant. Congrats on the skinny jeans! My own eat-healthy-exercise-daily (CLEVER) diet starts tomorrow and you'll no doubt be a source of inspiration.

You look awesome no matter what! I'm totally jealo...

2009-02-01T08:46:00.000-08:00

You look awesome no matter what! I'm totally jealous that you can wear skinny jeans in the first place. Some one told me in high school to do as many Quad/Hamstring reps possible on the machines...which now leads me to my current HUGE thighs! I hate them, and skinny jeans hate them too.

You look great!! I am confident you're gonna rock ...

2009-02-01T08:24:00.000-08:00

You look great!! I am confident you're gonna rock the heck out of those pants in a couple of months sans pastry top. yay!

2009-02-01T07:58:00.000-08:00

Congrats on losing all that weight! I cannot wait to get out of these damn maternity jeans. Next time around, I'm splurging on nice maternity jeans for sure. I refused to spend a lot on them, and I'm totally regretting it. They're hellish!

2009-02-01T07:31:00.000-08:00

Totally admire your progress, your attitude, your humor and your determination.

Reminder in case you have forgotten- you ROCK!

Now- we need some tasty Quinoa Recipes (for breakfast, lunch, dinner) that you eat. Could you create a quinoa-related post? That grain scares the sh*t out of me. It's so intimidating in it's non-instant (i.e. oatmeal) form.

Congrats on the IUD!

2009-02-01T03:10:00.000-08:00

Congrats on the weight loss! I admire your persistence and determination for sticking to your diet.

On the other hand since I am too fond of cheese and cocktails to commit to such a thing I opt for rocking my curves and strut my stuff in fitted shirts and bikinis all the time.

But then again I don't live in HOllywood.

2009-01-31T22:55:00.000-08:00

Aren't you doing so well! You look aweseome, and it will only get better.

I had lost 29 pounds, with 7 to go, until this week, when a nasty stomach bug hit and I lost 4 pounds the ugly way, so I'm almost at pre-baby, but my goal weight is still 16 to go. That will mostly wait a bit though, since it is too damn cold to leave the house to go for a decent walk right now! Come spring, I'll get on that, but I can't deal with icicles hanging off my nose. I fit my skinny-ish jeans the week before the germs hit, though, so I was pretty happy with that, too.

I am TOTALLY envying you your weather right now! Keep up the good stuff, lady, and by summer, you'll be in the bikini for sure. Me, well, I'll be happy if I get into my old board shorts, let's just say! Our wading pool isn't really bikini territory...

2009-01-31T21:29:00.000-08:00

"Do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man"--yeah, he's the one who knocked me up and gave the most precious children and a little "muffin-top" reminder.

seriously, GGC, that's awesome that you posted pics of yourself. i would die, even though i make frequent jokes of my muffin top to my friends, but have only flashed it once! my baby is now 2.5, so i really need to get with it. On a diet, fallin' off a diet, on a diet, fallin' off...you get the picture.

thanks for being frank & honest, and totally rockin' the skinnies and the flats. you are a style vixen and fabulous!
