When I was in my late teens and early twenties I weighed around 107 and even then I did not have visible abs although I always trained them and even trained them with weights. As you can see I have a short and thick torso. I definitely think genetics has a lot to do with it. As others have pointed out, we all have different strengths and weaknesses that we were simply born with.

A set of abs is actually my ultimate goal (as long as the rest of me looks proportinal (Sp?)) But I know that even when I was at 20% BF I wasn't even close. I lost the weight EVERYWHERE else and still had stomach fat, which makes it hard to develop abs for me, even when I am working towards it.
It may be a while though, after having a baby It's going to be hard to get back to where I was, let alone progress.

I agree with you 100%... but I am speaking in a general sense. I agree their are SOME that tend to store weight differently. But I have found its better to use black and white in alot of area's, because if you give someone the concept that a very few loose weight this way, they will jump on it and assume its them. People tend to like the Gray area when it benefits their own problems.
I do not sugar coat things, but you got in the condition you're in by "sugar coating."

skinny fat is far from my concern I do 1-1 1/2 hours of lifting 5 days a week with only maintenance cardio, I am an ff, and I take it very seriously. I get 2000 plus cals a day of the correct nutrition for my body, I am steadily gaining weight, until I reach my goal of 115-120. and my mom has abs just like mine, and other people I have trained with so I do plan on keeping them
strong is good by all means and my goal is to get stronger, and I agree, and i was meaning the women that use roids and such that truly do abuse it
strong and muscular are good and I agree, but some times, I feel slightly less feminine personally as my body is changing, and more so that comment was directed in the people that truly over do it, and use other means to improve there performance that can take away female attributes
I still think it is sexy to be strong I think six packs can look great, and be amazing I dont know about the general public, but in my sense there is a point where it can be over done like anything. I am not on here to get more toned I want to be stronger, I want to be better at my ff daily work/volunteer stuff, i live in a small town and most of the ff's are volunteer, hence it says seattle but I live out side of the area

The most i've ever had is a two pack. I had a very low BF% before but not enough muscle to have any definition in my abs so decided to bulk to gain some muscle. I've never cut far enough yet to see the abs fully though. One day, one day!

Glad this thread was brought back to life. Enjoyed reading it!
I myself just recently started working my abs consistently. Also learned about BF% and the whole nine yards. (Thanks BB.com for all the information). Having a flat tummy to me was always okay but would much rather see more than a two pack these days. As well as muscles all over. Muscles on women are sexy IMO!
As far as loosing the boobs to see a little muscular midsection... being a member of the A- club (as my son says) I don't have anything to worry about! I just do extra chest exercises to make it appear to be more than what it really is.(another tactic I learned on this site)
To each "her" own because as we are the ones who have to be happy with ourselves!**DIRTYSOUTHCREW**
