hello everyone! i have noticed something in my lower belly, that it looks separated from my groin zone!
all my friends with a belly don't have this problem, my belly seems to "gently hangover" while their belly seem to gently hug their groin
now i am not sure if this is completely normal when you have fat and everyone is just different, or if it's a sign of loose skin!

also i did a internet test with measurements of waist and others that tells me i am around 17% bodyfat, i think it was too kind! (66kg x 177cm)
what bodyfat is most realistic in your opinion?

i have asked in the past a similar question where everyone told me it's just fat, however i didnt ask the specific question about this sort of "separation line" splitting my belly from my groin, this is what scares me and makes me doubt! i will see an expert in 14days however in the meanwhile you guys can give me your opinionszgjlg7xl7ce2.jpg

    That doesn't seem abnormal, but if it worries you, ask your doctor.

    It just looks like a fold of loose skin.

    That's how my stomach looks now I've lost weight. I had a caesarean though 10 years ago.

    I'm sure it's perfectly normal and just needs that last bit of belly fat to go?

    It's fat

    Just lose it - build some ab muscles and you'll be good

    It looks exactly like my mummy pouch. I haven't had a c section. I'm guessing you haven't either lol. So I think we both just have a bit of fat there

    Mine looks like that but I have had two children (no C-section though). So I would say it is the result of putting on a lot of weight then losing it. It looks totally normal to me

    If I didn't know better I would've sworn those pics were of my husband and not some random dude online. Most definitely completely normal!

    Got the same thing going on. It's annoying especially since that's the last place the fat *kitten* off from.
