    I do just out of habit, my mom used to tell us to suck it in when we were kids! (and we weren't even overweight kids). I will "let it all hang out" when I'm at home by myself though... but even then I don't find it as comfortable

    Its automatic for me. I had to walk with books on my head when I was younger...shoulders back and holding in my tummy.

    omg I didn't know it was so common! Lol.. I feel lazy :x I always just let it umm..hang out. I'd probably look a lot better if I didn't! I'm going to start sucking it in.

    I do. It makes my posture better too. But it's more keeping my abs engaged than sucking my stomach in. :wink:

    This :laugh: Makes me feel less fat...and I figure its gotta be helping out the ABs right?

    My mom said the same to me as a child! It wasn't till later that I took that advice seriously.
