5:03 Nope, NOT obnoxious. Absolutely necessary to see a woman flex and love herself. Celebrate the F outta your body Shan-you’re setting the best of examples by doing so 😌

I'm no where near having kids, but I had no clue it was possible to look so good so soon after having kids! This is very inspiring, I'm grateful you made this video :)

“That was obnoxious” no it was not! That part was so cute Shan. You’re feeling yourself and that’s not obnoxious.

Shan I think that you look amazing after having two babies

Thank you for sharing your journey! It took me 5 years to get my body back to pre baby weight. I do noticed that when I stared to commit to working out everyday and having a balanced diet my body started to make that shift. Being a mom of two I always feel exhausted, but I still keep that discipline to get a good 15 minute workout in.

It took me 3 years to get down 73 pounds but I was big before pregnancy 😂. I love how my body is shaping up. You look amazing!

I am absolutely terrified of what my body will look like after having a baby. I have the best body of my life and I have extremely high standards for my stomach. My stomach is perfectly flat, and I’m just afraid of how I will feel about myself after baby. I’ve been through low self esteem before and it’s no way to live. You always need to find a way to feel beautiful.

thank you for sharing. people speak about motherhood so negatively these days. its beautiful to be reminded that it is individualized.

I started following you because you are so honest with the good and 'bad' and you never disappoint. Thank you.

Currently 8 months pregnant with my 2nd. They will be two years apart, I’m SOOOOOOOO ready to get into my fitness journey. Since this will be my last baby, I’m excited to walk into this new chapter and truly focus on my body again.

That 8 minute abs video brought back sooooo many memories. I’ve been doing that video for forever.

I'm impressed by your energy and willpower! Good on you for sticking to your goals and figuring out ways to do so in challenging situations.

I love watching your videos!! And now your mommy videos and watching you in general. We are the same age and it’s very inspiring to know that my feelings on childbirth were somewhat similar to yours as far as having kids later in life. so I really appreciate you sharing your story.

Your transparency is everything.

I am not a Mama and never will be, but I have a niece and nephews. This was A Beautiful share Shan!! I live your podcast too💕 Enjoy your sweet family ✌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Shan for being so transparent, vulnerable and honest. I'm still working toward the body I want. I've tumbled off the wagon many times but I always find my way back. I only have 1 baby but I did not bounce back at all I had to work to get to where I am now. I'm going to keep at it because I'm stubborn like that!

Loved this video Shan! I had such a healthy pregnancy with my first. I worked out 3 x a week and ate so well. I did gain 60 pounds but I felt amazing. I didn’t even get any stretch marks till the last two weeks. However I had to have an emergency c section. The recovery, ppd, and life circumstances had me gain 40 pounds Post partum. My daughter is 15 months now but I still feel horrible about my body. This was still nice to see. I always appreciate your transparency and vulnerability!!! Ps please talk about the daycare journey if you can! ❤❤

You look amazing, Shan! This gives me so much confidence. I am currently 36, pregnant with my first baby and surprisingly I haven't gained much weight and didn't develop any stretch marks so far (7 months now). I have been working out throughout the pregnancy on and off. So I have a lot of hope of snapping back or getting in an even better shape after having my child. Loved hearing about your experience. I also loooove your whole outfit! Would you mind sharing where it's from? Both the top and the skirt (skort?).

This was super informative and engaging. Thanks for sharing, Shan!

I didn’t know you were an athlete Shan! You go girl

That happiness quote is great! I literally want to put that on somewhere on my wall.

Loved this episode. I can't not begin to tell you how similar our postpartum journey is. I currently have a two year old and a two month old. It's been a journey with body changes. Breastfeeding/ pumping as well

Princess jasmine hair!! 🧞‍♀️✨

This is a pretty awesome video, I’m happy you made it

yaaaaass queeen! your glowiiiing

you look gorgeous and luminous, Shan!

You exude strength, Shan!

I really enjoyed this, and your realness. I'm a person who's putting off having children for the fear that I will lose my body, and this helps. It may not be all bad.

I'm soo grateful for your sharing ❤ I needed to hear this 🦋

I needed this video! Still pregnant with baby #2, but definitely inspired and ready for a change.

YESSSSS! Love all of this so much. You are my muse soulmate! Love seeing you love your beautiful body and hearing about your journey. First eight pack of my life and feeling better than ever in my body after my second baby and feeling sick for the entire pregnancy. That baby is now 2- for me the double stroller-run-and-nap situation hasn't worked in some stages and has worked so great in others- it is such an incredible workout to push 2 up hills when I make it work! I hope you have felt solidarity and support as you have been sick all these months. Every time you say on your videos- we're sick again- I'm like yep! So amazed that you can put out any videos! Me & my sons were sick pretty much straight from September to march. Exhausting. Hoping you get the resolution you need around this soon! Also, if you ever need a new idea for a video, sex & sexuality during perimenapause is something that I think should be demystified as well. You have done such a great job with this with the pregnancy and post partum phase. I went into perimenapause a few months post partum with my second baby and did not know what the hell was happening to me. I thougt I was dying. Being told I was in perimenapause at 37 was like a punch in the gut. Like I would be dry and no longer sexually attractive. Two years later, I am having the best sex of my life. Just like having a baby doesn't mean you are destined to a sexual loss, neither does menaapause. It would be cool to hear you do an episode on this. Love your work! Thank you for all the gifts you give us!

I got my nipples pierced and regained every once of confidence I had ever lost on my whole life LOL

Thanks for this! And dads quote is beautiful

Congratulations. And thanks for sharing your raw real journey

I need that yellow spotted dress!!!! That was everything!!!!!

The B-Roll are superb. And the quality of the video HD to the max with superb colour grading. Shoutout to the dude doing that and if it Shan Shoutout to her.

I love watching you grow and evolve!

Yes Shan!!! Love this and thank you for sharing:) You look amazing 🔥🔥🔥

You haven't popped up on my feed for years. Wow! two babies 😅 Congratulations. You look amazing.

Yessss mama!! I am in the best shape of my life after my son. It’s so empowering to know our minds are our only limit and you can do anything you set your mind to 💪🏼

Thanks for sharing Shan! Sending my love❤ you look awesome! I am proud of you!

Thanks for this video! 4 months postpartum and I had my babies basically the same time span as you did in terms of being back to back and I have really been pushing myself to get on my fitness. I’ve lost 6 pounds so far and the goal is to lose another 14 to be back at my pre pregnancy weight but I want abs! Thanks for sharing 🧡

I can definitely relate to this! I love your disclaimers! Not everyone will have the same experience. I have your body type. The athletic build. And I've never been more grateful for this body type😅 than going through pregnancy with my twins at 30. I was working out hard right before then and tried to work out the first trimester. I would at least walk for 15 to 20 minutes with my dog, but otherwise, I was on the couch! Lol. I am planning to have one more at 36 now, and I'm moderately working out now.

As a mom of 2 being 1 and a half year postpartum I am just getting into gear with my feel good journey. It's not about the weight for me similar to you I lost a lot of weight breastfeeding but now I want to feel strong and energetic. Thanks for sharing this beautiful journey. It is different for everyone for sure.

I had no idea there was something called a mobile gym! We need this everywhere

Oh wow bless your heart. I couldn’t imagine noro virus while being pregnant. I got it last thanksgiving and it was brutal.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am in a commited relationship with outlook on starting a family with my partner. I want to be a mother, but now I can look forward to having kids without fear of losing my body to motherhoods consequences ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing!!! Love this share!

Amazing video, great message. ❤thank you

not a mom, but someone who has struggled to lose ~40lbs for years. I'd love to hear more about the diet part, since diet is most impactful for weight loss

honest to god idk why im watching this, i will never get pregnant but you are such a good storyteller.

Love your content!

❤❤❤❤ I really needed this push

9 months pregnant now and waiting to give birth. I am looking forward to reclaiming my body after pregnancy!

X the daycare and get a nanny ! Often times, a nanny is cheaper than daycare

Shan looking bombbbbb 👀

Great video Shan!

Congrats you look amazing. An excellent way to heal inside and out is Prepartum and Postpartum Yoga. The weight melts off, the body tones up, and hormones return to normal. The most important part is that you're also healing internally.

Try to give the babies elderberry and vitamin C and D every day to help with germs at school. Mine were always sick from daycare until we started that routine. ALSO if you want to with both try a jogging double stroller with some music and snacks to help!

Thank you for this!!

yes, loved this. It's possible to leap forward in love with your post party body. Loving my mum-bod! I also committed to two times of 45 min a week from month 7 PP, and I got great results very quick. I'm now 18 month PP and in the best shape of my life.

I’m encouraged because we’re 6 months post from the first baby but we’re already planning on trying again later this year. I love my post baby body because it’s come together well but also heard it’s so much harder the second time.

I’m exactly where you are! Booty is booty-ing and titties are titting even though they are lower than before. I jumped into health to cope and helped me to pass on healthy habits to my daughter. I really love your transparency!

Thank you for this video

Great video - thank you

I am 27 and planning to have a child in like 4 years or so. This video was sooo helpful ❤

Im back to pre baby weight but I still have a pooch and diastasis recti 2 years pp. In my head I’m trying to figure out how to fit in working out in my schedule. It’s so hard. It’s encouraging to know that you only go 2x a week. I may start small and have a dedicated schedule. But I just need to start!

wow what a great idea paying your friend to make you meals, love that so much

thanks for making this video!!!!!!!!!!

I’m all ears, I had no idea you were 38 (at most I assumed 28), but I can only hope to age as gracefully! So encouraging!!

Leaving a comment for the algorithm

NOT OBNOXIOUS TO ME🎉 bc i remember when u were sad about losing your s3x appeal😢 so i KNOW THIS FEELS AMAZING!! IM 39 no kids tho but my body looks better now than when i was in my 20's lol idk how😅😂😂 I def understand how u feeling boo!!

Pregnancy #1 made me feel bad ass, 2nd pregnancy kicked my ass lol

When they're older they still get sick often. But it doesn't last as long or make everyone sick. I have a 2 and 4 year old. I really struggle with my weight before and after pregnancy.. first year is very difficult.

you know whats crazy? i followed you before you had kids right after you married jared, and you said you didnt want kids. I knew you would change your mind though. love mommyhood for you. thank you for sharing.

That remind me to add abs well more core workout to my routine just for stronger core as procaustion for if I ever get pregnant

I’m due to give birth to my first and only in July and getting married the following March so this is so motivating! I’m very athletic and was a full on gym rat before I got pregnant and still workout at least twice a week so I would love to feel like myself two or three months post!

Wait a min ! You 38?? You look HELLA GOOOOODD

thank you for saying that

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID THOSE OLD SCHOOLS VIDEOS! sometimes I’ll just be casually doing things throughout my day and blurt out “these will never hurt you!” 😂

Your abs look better than mine and I have no children 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Gotta get serious about these ab exercises

So helful Thanks U

38 where ? You look great ❤

Did she just say she’s 38 !? Wow 😍

Please be careful using diffusers. Short timing only/large rooms. You look amazing!

wow, and I have none yet....at this point I have NO excuses.

Shan, perhaps try derma rolling your tummy to tighten things up? KZfaq it! 🌷

Unrelated, but Shan could you please tell me what bra you’re wearing. I love the straps and that it isn’t making weird bumps. One of my biggest struggles while breastfeeding has been finding a bra that looks good and smooth

As someone who just had a baby, let me say... eating is the ONLY thing that helped my nausea in the early months. I would feel sick... _until_ I ate. Since my body was very slender and you need extra fat to support the growth of a second person. I believe in intuitive eating and actually began to eat less later in pregnancy. I had already gained 40lbs and looked like a whale... people kept trying to feed me because I was 'eating for two' but all I wanted to eat were apples and nectarines. So that's what I ate. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Belly button looks fire. We judge ourselves the hardest.

You look great. Shan hopefully you came back to yourself last video I seen last year you seemed out of touch with yourself!

You look great more importantly you are feeling good!

I want to meet Shannon so badly, ugh. Every time you are in Toronto, I miss it. This year is my first year doing Caribana and I am honestly praying (to the same God that's probably mad my butt cheeks are out) that I get the chance to meet you. But Shan, you look amazing. Thank you for sharing.

I think its mainly impacted by having 2 kids in a really short time frame. usually the female body needs 3 years to recover from a pregnancy- while you got pregnant again you were just recovering from your first pregnancy even if you were in great shape. 2 babies is super tough as it requires more attention for them and even less for yourself. Probably also age contributed as with every year we get less efficiant in producing collagen and repairing. Also totally understandable that you ate fast food during 2nd pregnancy as you already had an obligation to take care of your first born.

I guess the one good thing about being bad built and fat is I don’t have to do all this stressing about a snap back cos I never had a nice body in the first place.

Oop it’s shan body

❤

I always have the upmost respect for anyone who keeps in shape or gets back in shape after becoming parents. I never understood why so many people let themselves go when they have kids. I know they must take up a lot of time and energy and I know not as easy for some parents as it may be for others, but it's still doable. Aside from physical attractiveness, it's simply much healthier and I think parents should be in the best possible health they can be for the sake of their kids. I would also argue that kids seeing their parents work out and having healthy habits motivates them to do the same, which is what's badly needed in a time of a childhood obesity epidemic.

Mommy

I'm happy for you that you were able to get the body back you wanted. But you said it yourself that you have daycare and food services. Most women I know aren't able to afford that.
