Hello. My name is Kristen and I want abs. :happy:
I went from obese (180 lbs) to thin for me (130 lbs) back up to 140 ish. I really want to take off the extra 10-15 pounds again but this time I want to be more toned. Any tips for getting flatter abs would be great. :blushing:

Hey! I'm on the same boat right now
I am about 5'5 and at 112 pounds right now. My absolute goal is to get abs.. I have been working out for it for about a month but I lost track right before Christmas.. I plan on restarting either tonight or tomorrow. The program I have found to work the best is Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. ITS AMAZING! You can find level 1 for free on youtube It works so well, and I'm definitely gonna stick with it this time It shreds tummy fat insanely fast, and my goal is to get killer abs in 2 months 0 -

Awesome. I love Jillian's workouts. They're ridiculously hard but make me feel really good afterwards.0 -

I think ultimately you need to lower your body fat % and get off any extra weight, right now I have abdominal muscles I just can't see them under the layer of fat, the same is probably true for you.0

Definitely need to lose a layer of fat but my abs feel weak so I don't think there's much going on under the blubber. haha0 -

Thanks. Yeah, abs are the hardest for me. I'm assuming I just need to lose more fat before any abs will even show.0 -

I am a girl. I posted that. It works for men and women. Women aren't special.0 -
Good luck with your goals.
It is gonna come down to eating at a caloric deficit, and doing some weight lifting.....for all over your body.
Not just focusing on abs.
So I would suggest make sure you hit your macro minimums...
So if you are going to do weights...
0.8 - 1.0 gr of protein/lb of bodyweight, you could prolly also get away with 0.6 gr/lb of body weight
0.4 gr of fat/lb of body weight <- minimum
Start doing some weight lifting, making sure your you include the basic compound exercises.
Chin/pull ups, squats, Dead lifts, bench press, shoulder press, dips.....
Also something else you could try is doing some cardio first thing in the morning before you have eaten anything.....do it on a completely empty stomach.....water is ok to drink.....
Your body will look to fat stores for energy.0 -
Oopsie daises. haha Sorry
I just figured that girls would have to eat less protein than dudes.0 -

That's awesome advice. Thank you very much. How many calories should I be eating in order to lose weight but still gain muscle? Right now I'm doing 1200.0 -

Why? We are made the same. Only difference is hormones. Our cells (fat, muscle and every other cell) are built the same. Stop thinking of women as different from men. We gain muscle slower and without steroids won't build huge muscles by mistake.
You can eat less protein than that, but like I pointed out having more protein is like insurance for our muscles.0 -

You can't lose weight and gain muscle. They're pretty exclusive outside noob gains.0 -
