    If your stomach sticks out UNDER your muscles, not fat on top, you need to tone your transverse abs. :D Look it up!

    Hi guys! New to the group but have been using MFP daily since August 2014 and on and off for years. 34yo and looking to slim down without losing too much of muscle I've built up strength training. I've been at maintenance the past 3 months giving my metabolism a chance to recover from a very low calorie diet, and I just recently began a moderate cut again :)

    I just wanted to pipe in on this thread. I have a girlfriend who is one of these people who just has a flat stomach. Even when she was 30lbs heavier than she wanted to be, she could where mid-riff showing outfits without the slightest bit of tummy pooch. She carried almost all of her extra weight in her hips, bum and thighs. People use to ask her all of the time how she got her stomach so flat, what exercises, and her answer was nothing. She didn't go to the gym... and she was a bartender so she drank a lot of booze. So for her, yes I totally think genetics. She's now a yoga instructor and so her entire body has toned down and slimmed up, but her stomach looks the same as it always has! So fascinating.

    As for my stomach, I don't mind the way it looks standing, but doing a plank... oh my! It just sags way down. I think a lot of people who have had kids have this problem, but I haven't had kids. I have yo'yo'd up and down 50lbs for the past 10 years and I'm guessing my stomach skin is stretched out. I don't know for sure. My core is strong though... I'm super proud of that! I can hold a 3 minute forearm plank.
