Underweight with tummy fat, help! (pics)

Honestly, looking at your pics, it looks more like muscle than fat to me. You can almost see a pack. Looks awesome to me.

Update!
Its been almost 2 months and I completed 30 day shred, and have continued to do cardio and pilates. I haven't exactly been happy with my progress as I have stayed pretty much the same weight. But i took pictures the other day, and i actually notice somewhat a difference!

I may be the same weight, but my stomach has noticeably gotten smaller and firmer. I have lost maybe a total of 1-1.25" off my waist. however there is still quite a bit of fat on it. I am now moving on to heavy lifting. Hopefully that can give me better results faster!

I can't see the pictures- but I assume you looked great to begin with due to all the comments- but congrats on the progress-

but throw out the god damn scale.

The weight is just a number. I really REALLY REALLY wish women would stop caring about it. How much you weigh is completely irrelevant to your general health and fitness.

Keep eating properly: clean and ENOUGH and balanced (fat/carb/protein%%s) and keep working out doing things you love to do as well as trying new things.

Keep up the pilates- keep up the shred stuff- start looking into weight lifting- or rock climbing or mud runs- whatever it is that sparks your fancy. You'll be more concerned with can I do XXXX thing rather than I weigh XX amount.

I promise you- you'll feel better about yourself knowing you can DO stuff. It's more important to me to be able to push my car from a ditch or change the tire- or move my own grocieres than say I hit some magical number on the scale.

Besides? who said how much you are supposed to weigh? what does that mean anyway? and who CARES!!!! LIVING and DOING are way better than just being something. besides being kick *kitten* and awesome

Thanks for the encouraging words! I do agree that the scale is just a number! I have to keep telling myself that. As long as I feel good about myself and can see a difference I shouldnt care what that number is.

You look amazing, I wish my tummy bulge was like yours

Exactly!

That bulge is also your muscle sticking up...

Try working out your lower back more. Help pull those abs back a lil.

Looking amazing though!

You're pretty much an ideal candidate to lift weights. You could probably do an amazing recomposition with just 2-3 months of lifting.
