With comments like yours, yes indeed.... there is.
The OP asked how to see her abs and you told her that you think lifting a car is cooler. She didn't ask for your opinion, plus abs and lifting a car aren't mutually exclusive. I'd consider that some derp.
That's all I told her? Really? You better develop better reading comprehension skills.
I told her the problem & solution. And tossing an opinion at the end, AFTER answering her question is "derp"? Amazing the lack of intelligence & comprehension in adults (if you are one even) now days.
I never told her she was fat in any way shape or form either like she was suggesting I did.... I'm not sure where the hell that one even came from. Reading this *kitten* is hurting my brain... I'm going to go enjoy some cookie butter and watch Arnolds new flick "Maggie" ...

OP - if you want you could post some pictures and we could try to give you an assessment/body fat % ...0

Thanks @MamaFunky I just got Six Week Six pack and No More Trouble Zones and I can't wait to do them! I'm doing a round of 21 Day Fix with a friend (workouts only because I'm happy tracking calories right here on MFP) right now and I really enjoy those DVD's as well.0

@ndj1979 I thought about doing that. I just took some the other day but they aren't that great lol. I see if I can find them.0

Sorry for the bathroom background lol.
you have some upper ab definition ...
I would put you at around 24% ..
I would be curious what @usmcmp thinks..
I think you would benefit from a structured lifting program as opposed to the DVDS but that is just me...0 -

ok - well two of us do OP..!0 -
OP what exercises are you doing in this DVD?
BTW I have no clue how to guess body fat% so I have no comment on that.

@ndj1979 @IsaackGMOON any program suggestions. I really don't know anything about lifting. I have thought about getting New Rules of Lifting for Women because I've seen that mentioned a lot here.
yopeeps025 The DVDs are circuits (3 workouts 3 circuts each with warm up and cool down) so there are a lot of different exercises I'm not sure I can think of all of them but here are some:
slow squat to overhead presses
jumping jacks
modified push ups ( I suck at push ups but I do a few normal ones)
modified bicycle
deadlift to upright row
crescent hold with tricep kickbacks
wipers
low impact burpees
figure 8 squats
scissor crunches
squirms
rows in a plank position
plank
lunges
Tricep Dips
push kicks
bridges
dead lift to upright row
I'm sure there a some that I am forgetting too.
I usually use 5 or 8lb weights when required.

So is this workout still moderately diffcult or is it getting on the easy side. Stronglifts 5x5 is a MFP favorite for beginner lifters.0 -

I would also say that she's around 24%. There is some ab definition at the top and sides if you look at the side view.
I also suggest a structured lifting program instead of DVDs.0 -

My reading comprehension is just fine, thanks for your concern. I wasn't saying that's all you told her, I was saying it was unhelpful and that you can be strong with visible abs, therefore it was derp.0 -
Thank you!! I will definitely look into lifting programs and give it a try!0
