lower abs!

[ArielleMaree]

okay so i've been skinny the whole 19 years i've been alive and right now my diet is...okay i'm workin on making it better! i've been working on getting leaner and putting on more muscle mass. i know that diet is FIRST priority! and then lifting heavy weights and doing some cardio...i do all of that!
i'm having a little trouble getting rid of my lower ab...chub i guess you could say...i don't even know if its fat...i mean it could be but it just feels like extra skin. my boyfriend calls it a pooch
i guess the question is...do i need to be eating more healthy fat burning foods? or taking a fat burning supplement? or will it go away the more i work out and let my body just change on its own.....

any comments would be great!!!

I would eat a bit less if your not losing fat . Fat also loses everywhere , you can't just spot reduce . Good luck !

116 at 5'6? You are already very lean...there's no stomach pooch in your pictures.

There are no magical fat burning foods. If I were lucky enough to look like you I'd ditch cardio and lift heavy and I definitely wouldn't lower calories.

I was very skinny my whole life too and the same thing started creeping up. Honestly? It's just life as a woman, becoming an adult. You don't stay a skinny teenager forever. Your pictures clearly show no 'pooch' but at the same time, you have to be realistic with your anatomy as an adult female.

I definitely wouldn't eat less.
It is true about the female figure unfortunately.
You could try lifting a little bit heavier, do lifting sessions that involve a lot of core work (they pretty much all do)
For cardio you could give HIIT sessions a try too.

It could also just be a little water that you hold there! Do you still see it first thing in the morning?

OMGGGGG! really!? I sorta have the same thing but miraculously every morning it's gone! Anything one could do about that?

Unfortunately as sonti said, it is just part of being us sometimes...

You could up your hydration a little to see if that works, but honestly, by the end of the day we all could be up to 5lbs heavier and everyone holds it a little different in different places.

[fitfreak805]

if it is water witch i doubt that it is...drinking more water will help. remember water in= water out

Potassium , or better yet , Layne's two week pre-contest water cut down .

I'm sorry I don't see your pooch. I wish my 'pooch' looked like that. LOL (I'm working on losing my pooch too)
