Howdy!! I'm, glowupmama and it is great to be here. I've lost about 20lbs total since I've started my weight loss journey and I'm excited to get to where I will soon feel good in jeans again. Lol

For us slightly shorter and maybe more petite women....I felt attractive at 120lbs. I didn't have abs, but I felt good. This time around at 30 I want to get abs and be more lean and slender. I want to see if I like it. If not....LMAO I know how to eat. 😉

At what weight do we have nicely defined abs? Maybe a 6 pack?

Thanks!!

    I am 5’5’ and I am happy at 130. I can see some abs in the morning but don’t have aspirations for a six pack! I do HIIT training.

    That's great! Seeing abs in the morning is nice. I would love to see them all around the clock. 😂 It's a big goal but it is achievable.

    HIIT is fun! It absolutely drains my soul, but I enjoy it. 🤣 I intend on taking up a dance class or maybe boxing again. Anything to get those endorphins flowing during this crazy pandemic!

    Thanks for replying!!

    I’m 5’3 and 117. The only time I saw any visible abs was when I was 130 and started training my abs with TRX and kettlebell moves. Love the name and the emoji with the natural! 👏👏

    i'm 5'4", and i'm aiming for 140, as i'd like to put on muscle.

    since i'm down from 242, i have a lot of loose skin over my abs, and i doubt i'll be seeing them - even when i was too thin, under 100 pounds, my abs didn't show due to that extra skin.

    I like her kettlebell moves for abs - here’s one for WHEN you do get it! Trying for the 6 pack - or 2/6 by summer 😂.

    I’m 5’ 4 and 155-160 lbs and I have abs! Body fat % is around 26-29%? I find that weight lifting and yoga has given me amazing abs lol! I do plan on losing a little weight though (probably 15-20 lbs). I have more fat on my arms and thighs 😩 and less on my stomach! I’m a little heavier right now because I just attempted a mini bulk and my period is around the corner so I suspect it’s a lot of water weight and glycogen.

    Thank you ma'am! Currently just letting my weight hover, give or take a bit, and trying to get stronger.

    I’m 5’4” (and 48 years old) and I can see abs when I’m at about 125. This is assuming I am working on my abs, which I generally am through barre classes online three days a week

    Never seen my abs. 51 and they're probably wrapped around my knees then tied in a knot behind my back, these days.

    I'm right there with you. 5'4 and felt my best at 120. I have an extremely small frame, so I may try to hit 115 and the. Maintain/recomp.
