I have always had a crease horizontal across my belly.... Like I had been wearing my jeans 6 sizes too small.... I am very close to my goal weight of 130 pounds.. (I'm sure it will change once I get there...) but my question is.... DOES ANY ON HERE HAVE OR HAS HAD A CREASE IN THEIR BELLY LIKE I DID..... I am wanting to know if it is at all possible to get my tummy COMPLETELY flat.... I am going to post the pic on here but MAN and I worried lol... It used to be worse than this but I just wanna know if it is possible at all for me to acheive this!!!!!

    Mine's continously gotten better and I have 2 creases because I've had 2 csections so I have a crease where you do and one lower. My only suggestion is keep at it! You've done great this far.

    I don't see your crease. When I gained weight, I had a couple of creases in my belly that I would notice when I was lying in the bath. Now I've lost weight, they've gone.

    Your stomach looks good comparing to mine..:sad: I have a deap crease across my tummy where my belly button is... I want to get a belly button ring but you can't see the belly button right now.. It is better since I have been with MFP , working out , and loosinng weight.. I think every woman wants a flat tummy back expecially after we had our kids.We will all get it.. We can do it..:drinker:

    I don't see what there is to "fix." It's the shape of a real, non-photoshopped body.

    Well, my belly isn't always flat - especially not when it's my TOM. It just doesn't have creases in it anymore. I've found that doing planks helps. But I'm not convinced that bellies are necessarily supposed to be totally flat - there's a womb inside there, and muscles too.

    yoga, pilates, spinning, and core exercises will help that. i wish i could loose these last 10 to reach my goal so I can work on this too!

    once you have a baby your stomach will never be that flat with out a tummy tuck the skin stretches and the muscles sort of shred inside..The plastic surgeon I went to can usually remove the stretch marks and tighten the ab wall . My surgeon calls it a mommy tummy ...this also is the same for someone who was very over weight and never had a baby .

    I have this crease as well. I think you hit it on the head when you said it looks like you were wearing pants that a few sized too small. I am hoping this goes away too with working out lifting weights.

    i'm 20, a size 6, train 6 times a week, and my abs are coming through. I've always had a little line going across my stomach, from where i sit down. Even when people sit down, their stomach comes our slightly. Maybe i should learn to sit up straighter? :P

    What the original poster shows in her pix is what a lot of peoples' GOAL tummies would be, seriously! It looks pretty flat to me, honestly. We women are supposed to have a little bit of a curve there anyway, even when fit and of normal weight. Plus the very real fact that some of us store a bit more fat there naturally, even with workouts and diet - just the way we're built and in order to get a fatless tummy we often have to go much stricter than it's worth because then the rest of the body gets wa-ay too thin. On the other hand, many pear-shaped women have very flat tummies with hardly doing anything for exercise and not being totally strict with their diets either. All that said, it still boils down to tightening up diet for a lot of people to get rid of the last bit of chub on the tummy, along with intense cardio, assuming one is also hitting the weights solidly.
    On the crease when sitting down issue - Very few people's tummies are flat and creaseless even when they're sitting. Or if you see a picture of such a situation, usually it's been Photoshopped to death. If they actually do have that creaseless tummy when sitting, then usually they're quite underweight.
