Ladies who went from squishy stomachs to six packs...

Everything that has been said and sounds like you have a clear path now.

I was totally, 1000% skinny fat. Abs are created from your diet, proper rest, and compound/heavy lifting. To see abs, a person must be lean enough. You asked for pics so thought I'd share so you can see progress with lifting and proper nutrition.

Pics:

8/11/11 - around 130ish - so I put on some weight because I started eating more. If you read my profile I was kind of bad at that before... anyway I was doing mostly cardio and some weight machine work.

10/12/11 - still around 130 but you can see I leaned out a little more. I started lifting with dumbbells and didn't do nearly as much cardio. Read up more on nutrition and macros as well.

12/30/11 & 5/19/12 - I think I was doing a 4-day split routine by this point, with one day of cardio. Typically the cardio is sprint intervals.

9/21/12 - a little bit before starting Stronglifts 5x5 routine. I did that for a couple of months and now I still do the compound movements but do a push/pull routine instead. I typically do Spin class 1x/week and maybe sprint intervals if I'm antsy.

thank you for posting your question..im in the same boat as you...
