I dont know how to post pictures on here but on this website is a photo of what I consider my dream abs! I love it and would love to know what I need to do to get to that point..As of right now I am trying to lose the last 10 lbs. So I will have prety low body fat percentage. Any other tips? I am very determined to get to that point. Even if it takes me 6 months to a year.!

Where you at now? (bf%)
if you could possibly show a picture of what your abs look like now it'd be easier to give estimates ^^ but generally, to get the abs, you'd need to be at a lower body fat percentage..0 -
Oki doki I just checked your pictures on your profile.. To be honest, you'll need to be at a lower bodyfat percentage.. BUT you can start working on some crunches or a few light tummy exercises for when you've dropped the fat off0

I can help you get there girl! But there's no magic recipe. Where are you at now BMI and bf%-wise and what are you doing nutrition/exercise wise?0

Those pictures of my tummy was 7 lbs ago and I still want to lose another 12 lbs and get down to 115. But I do realize that low body fat percentage is the key for abs..I am currently around 126ish..Its just taking forever to get rid of my last 10 lbs. I do cardio 3 times a week and p90x weights dvds 3 times a week but its a recent thing so I havent gotten too much of results yet.Any advice on how to get rid of the last 10 lbs faster?0

you can still do some cardio, but definitely look into strength training. Eat. Move. Lift. Bry0 -

In my opinion, yes. Strength training while maintaining a small caloric deficit will help you preserve your muscle mass. Muscle mass you need, if your goal is to have visible abs.0 -
I don't think I would mind have abs like that! Right now I am working at just getting it FLAT! :P I have lost almost 3 inches off it in the last month (YES!!!) but still have a ways more to go. (I think I started to late to make my goal date of my birthday) I am doing Jilliam Michael's 30 days shred and am enjoying the results I am starting to see. I had to laugh when I got to Level 3 though. She says you should be starting to see a 6 pack form by now. Um? No??? I'm stilling working on getting it flat! I've been debating about doing additional crunches (different ones) in addition to her workoutout.0

Okay well it sounds like lifting weights is a big thing I just wonder if I should focus on cardio for this last 10 lbs of weightloss then go focus on lifting weights..It makes sense in my head but I am not an expert!0

Yes. Though, for me, I do find cardio necessary as my appetite will otherwise get in the way.0 -

No. You lose 10 pounds without strength training, and you're likely to lose as much muscle as fat.0 -
