Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I am short waisted and don't have problems, but I have heard that other factors, such as the way your pelvis tilts, can also make it harder to acheive a flat look. It depends on if you really have more fat there, or is it just your reproductive organs and intestinal contents pushing what fat you DO have outwards. In other words, some women may have the exact same skinfold reading as you, but have a flatter lower ab due to the way they're put together or dietary differences.

Its funny both my mom and grandmother have this same little pouch. It does go away when contest dieting, but until then..
I do eat tons of fibrous veggies so that could contribute. I see all these young things with the flat bellies or hardbellies as my hubby calls them.
Yep me and my pot belly or even better a buddha belly-valerie

lmao - some funny responses here. I just needed to get that off my chest 
So tired of people either knowing what to do and not doing it, or having no clue and just doing whatever they're told to by so-called "experts" in the national media.
Most people in the civilised world appear to be in severe denial about what they put into their mouths every day, if my mum and class-mates are anything to go by. My mum knows the story back to front inside out - but still won't do anything about it. She asked me to make a diet for her, telling me she just can't understand why she can't lose "weight", since she's cut out almost all carbs, and eats lots of lean protein and good fresh veggies etc - no more bread, pasta, potatoes, etc., and really doesn't eat that much. So what I'm wondering is what all those pies and cakes and ginger snaps and rusks and lemon creams that come out at tea-times are made of, if not carbs???? ha ha ha ha ha.
I said sure, I'll make you a diet, but first write down every single thing you put in your mouth for a week, so we can see what you're maintaining on. Ah, but no, she couldn't do that, because then I'll know about all the snacks etc. But ma! I ALREADY know, and so do you, so why the ongoing denial? Ah, yes, I know I'm in denial, but chocolates are easier .....
Sigh.
And my classmate thinks wholewheat crackers with cream cheese is "healthy" for lunch. The sad thing is - it IS healthier than what she usually eats .....
JJ - I won't be competing for at least 2-3 years - unless it's powerlifting. I want to buckle down and work on building some nice thick strength and muscle before dieting it all off again. I'm gonna be a big girl
I've been around - just super busy trying to catch up and remember my entire high school maths syllabus, and the whole of high school chemistry and physics that I never did anyway, so that I can sort of get a clue of what the lecturers are nattering on about in class. It's coming together slowly, but I'm having to spend hours and hours and hours studying and tackling problems. My life is eat, sleep (not enough), cook, train, study.
Nice and simple
