| Is it just a girl thing? Abs....
I have great abs in my opinion. I flex and you can see them pop out on the sides middle. But why is it that I can not freaking get rid of the layer over it. I have always tried to flatten my stomach. Make it super nice like some people out there. But with my slight sway back and bit of "extra" weight I can not seem to get that six pack ab look I would like. Well not a body builders abs....but a nice set. Any advice or suggestions?

Any advice or suggestions? | Honestly, as you start dropping weight, you will notice more definition with your stomach. It's not just a girl thing. The stomach is one of the first places fat can accumulate for people, moreso for guys than girls. Ihave a 6-pack stomach myself, but it's just hiding under my keg.

LOL nice. I always say the same thing too. It is just hiding. 
I hate that. I mean the 2 main places I want to lose is my stomach and my thighs. I have always had this issue. How horrible is it that I am nagging over this? :O

Well I guess a part of me feels guilty for writing on here and complaining. I mean I have not that much to lose and have not been doing it for too long. I appreciate you saying that.
Go figure the 2 areas that are the hardest I have. LOL Plus some. haha. Part of life I guess

That's one of the reasons all those ab contraptions sold on TV don't work as well as people hope. Sure you can built up your muscles, but if you can't see them you won't be 100% satisfied with the results.
