Stomach crease/line!

Random question... But... Doesn't matter how much I weigh I have an ugly crease on my stomach! I'm assuming it's from my posture but it seems like nothing I do gets rid of it.

Here is a pic taken a couple weeks ago of my problem area. See that pesky line!

Does anyone else have something similar? Any ways to get rid of it?

PS will it be gone when I have a six pack? :D

    I don't really see what you're talking about! Looks fine to me. Where is this line?

    I guess it's hard to see in the picture. When I wake up in the morning it's more a pronounced red crease from one side to the other. O_o

    so it sounds like it's worse after you curl up to sleep...try sleeping flat on your back or stomach maybe? otherwise, when I was younger I had pretty defined abs and I remember still getting a crease. It can just be your skin. There is almost no way to have a flat stomach when you are sitting down.

    I have that because of my back problems. But unless you have scolisosis like I do... then I have no idea!

    at your navel or near the panties?

    I get one at the navel because of my poor posture. coming home to change clothes after work it is not there (stand all day at work). changing clothes for bedtime it is there, prominent, and like you said, ugly. I sit all day at home hunched over like a weirdo at the computer desk. I can assume the crease is from my bending my body like that for so many hours at a time.

    I have (had?) the same thing in the same area! Actually, I haven't really thought about it in a while, and now that I do, I think it has gone away for the most part. I think it has a lot to do with posture, and probably the more I lean out (eating clean, weights, and cardio) the less I've seen of it. I don't know if that helps you much - every body is different but I'm guessing it's similar. Also, I wouldn't worry about it - your pic looks great! I only really noticed because of your comment and my previous experience with the same thing :)

    I have it and I've always had it. I can see my abs now and I still have it. I do still have a small amount of fat to lose, so I can't tell you if it will always be there or not. I also hate mine, but don't know what to do about it! I'm 5'11 and VERY long waisted. Are you?

    Near my naval. It gets red. Like my skin is permanently folded. Bothers the hell out of me!

    Maybe it's the way I sleep on my side in the fetal position or my hunchback at my work desk. :(

    I have it too. It is right under my ribs though and it is from a crease on how I sit. I have been trying to sit up straighter though as I am sure it is from the posture.

    I'm 5'3 and kinda lanky, lol. I hope it's just my extra fat causing the crease and will go away when I'm super muscular like I'm going to be!

    I have it also and also am hoping it is just from fat and will go away. It drives me crazy, right at my underwear line.

    Gosh! Don't be so hard on yourself. Not making 'light' of your concern but probably only you can see it.
    Look at the 'big' picture and from what I see, you look lovely. Enjoy!

    me too...I always sort of assumed it was just how I sat (I sit at a computer ALL DAY)

    I have it as well no matter how much my body fat percentage drops. Honestly I can't see it on you at all. I guess the old cliche' applies, "Nobody knows your body like you do".

    I have the same thing and also have scoliosis. When I am at my goal weight it is much less noticeable but still always there.

    It's a few inches above your navel right? I have the same thing. I don't remember having it in high school (super skinny), so I am hoping it will go away when I get to my goal weight. Right now I just grin and bear it.

    I have the perma crease near my pantie line. No matter how small I've been, it's always there.

    I get that when I sit all day with bad posture at work (desk job) weekends / morning it's not there it's all posture / how you sleep. Just like you'd get a red spot on your leg if you cross your legs for a long time I think

    I have this line too! A few inches above my belly button. I hate it, but alas don't know what to do about it other than try to sit up straight more during the day. Hoping by the time I am ready to wear a bikini (maybe someday!) that it will be gone along with the fat :)

    GL!

    I'm under 105 lbs and I have this. I didn't have this in elementary school. I used to workout my abs in high school, but I had to spend most of the time near a computer desk or when I was attending schools/college, I had to sit for a long period of time. Wish they would've had stand-up desks for computers. I wouldn't have had this problem. My sister works in retail and she stands for a long period of time and she doesn't have these lines I have and she weighs 111 lbs. Most of my time is at a work desk. I think the crease will be there for a long while if I don't start to change up things. Various stand exercises and ab exercises when I do have time. Put AHAs creams/lotion. Stand up straight even when it's difficult and just look straight up at the sky when jogging. Also eat a proper diet that doesn't include too much fat.

    It will take awhile maybe a year and I wish my insecurities of my stomach will fade soon.
