This is my starting point, just after giving birth to baby number five

This is six weeks after the first pic, and about two and a half weeks into my "real" workout, but about six weeks into walking all over creation and back.

Getting better. :D It's motivating to be able to see a viable difference. Even more motivating to feel it.

Taken as my new starting point. 138 lbs, and six kids over eight years. This is nine months postpartum baby six.

You can see here just how damaged the muscles in my core are. Three pregnancies in an 18 month period ((I had a miscarriage between two live births)) has taken it's toll. It's been a slow recovery this time.

I don't feel nearly so bad about my lower body. Living on the third floor and carting small children up and down several times a day has it's advantages.

Any suggestions you guys can make for how to improve, shoot them my way. Comments are always welcome.

I have no clue how to take good pictures from teh back. And even worse, because of my skin and its natural cammo, I can't tell if there are muscles there.

I can see improvement here too. The abdominal wall is definetly starting to repair itself! Yay!

Arm day. Love the pump.

They're getting much stronger. I can feel how strong they are, but they're still covered with fat. Can't wait to start leaning out and visibly seeing the difference.

I've been slacking and it shows. But the abs are getting better. I can feel them, and almost see them!
