Hi everyone
This is going to be very embarrassing, but does anybody else have a line that separates your upper abdomen and lower abdomen? Like right above the belly button? When ever I look at my stomach it looks very strange as if my stomach was cut deeply. Currently I have a flabby lower abdomen lol and I am working really hard to tone it by doing circuit training and Pilates. I also started eating more healthy, but I just feel like I am stuck and am getting no where. Is anybody else going through this? If you got passed this how did you do it!? I have 2 months to get a flat stomach, and I feel like I am getting no where.): I am willing to do anything now. Please help me out!

    Yes, it is where the skin is attached to the muscle, so there is weight above and below and can cause creases and folds. Not everyone has it, though. I'm one of the "lucky" ones who does.

    ETA. I don't know if there is a fix for it. I saw a plastic surgeon talking about it and he said that the skin has "memory," so when they do tummy tucks it can still be a problem, because the skin tries to reattach.

    I have this too, I think it's somewhat common. It was a lot more noticeable at my highest weight, but now I only notice it when I'm sitting down! I think I'll always have it unless I lose all of the fat on my stomach, and I still have a little bit at 120 pounds.

    Also, my advice would be to forget the deadline. 2 months isn't enough time. It's been 2 years and my stomach still isn't completely flat and I wear an xs in tops! Some people get flat stomachs easily though, so maybe you're different than I am!

    Stomach line?

    Does your stomach live around here?
    What sign is your stomach?
    Does your stomach come here often?

    Oh wait, that's not what you meant. Never mind.

    I've been noticing definition in my abs peeking through and it indeed looks like little separation marks. Like a grid almost marking where my six pack will be. I love it!

    Aha! I guess I was wrong. I have also been working out for 2 yeas, and I have sort of achieved a little bit. I know I am getting closer so that's good. Thanks!(:
