Hi there!
I last posted on here two years ago, so thought I'd reintroduce myself!
I'm Lucy, 29, officially lost 25kg and happily maintaining!
However, I've set myself the goal to have a flat tummy (preferably a pack of some kind, and I don't mean a pack of chocolate biscuits for a change!) by the time I'm 30, in April!
I've recently started kickboxing, which I love, and try to visit the gym for weight lifting three times a week as a minimum!
Almost a decade ago I posted something on a board about how I wanted to lose a little more weight and was criticised for wanting to lose 'vanity weight', which really knocked my confidence, but yes, I'll admit, I want a vanity six pack! I'm a strong minded and dedicated individual, and I want the tummy to prove it!
I am today, saying, 'oh my goodness this abs being made in the kitchen malarky is hard work, isn't it!? Help!'
So anybody who can direct me to helpful discussions, or provide any advice I would very much appreciate!
Happy to be back and can't wait to get to chatting! Hi everybody!

Welcome back!
This is a great thread: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1161603/so-you-want-a-nice-stomach/p1
It really is all about the body fat percentage, and everyone has a different level at which your abs will "pop", but lower percentage of body fat and weight training seem to be the key.
Good luck!0
