Anyone Out There With A Completely Flat Stomach?

Good idea Anya! I'm a walking festival of flab. Recent exertions have led to my core muscles firming up a lot but this just makes me more aware of the jelly wobbling about on top of them! Och!

This is really weird, because just over the last couple of months I've been aware of wobbly bits accumulating around my middle and nothing will shift them.

I've not put any weight on, in fact I weigh less than I did a year ago, but it think my derriere has shifted upwards and forwards at the same time my bosoms are shifting downwards.

Would standing on my head for long periods of time be an option and return my bits to their former placement d'you think?

teetime you and I must be twins!! Did you mention the 24" waist, the legs up to here, the swan like neck and glossy tumbling locks?
Thank god for t'Internet and anonymity!!

I have 2 DiLs with perfectly flat tums and one of them is a Mum. I am size 12 with lots of wobbly bits but always feel enormous when they are here. Their husbands are trim too.

Yes I e a perfectly toned abdomen long lean legs and perfectly toned arms-- oops sorry another daydream I am a dumpling!!

I don't understand those sizes. I'm about 5'4 and only weigh 55kg (about 8st 9) and I take size 12-14.
I have a small tum but not flat.

You have peak muscle tone around age 18/19, so even if you're the same weight now as then, it's probable that you were smaller then as muscle takes up much less space.

Body composition does change over a lifetime, particularly if you lose weight (fat & muscle mass) and then gain weight (just gain fat unless you've trained). So it might be that you have a higher % of fat than when younger and if you're remotely stressed or your hormones aren't optimal, then it's likely to be round the tummy.

I've never had a flat tummy and so I'll shut up now. :-)

I too am a size 10-12 gettingonabit. I weigh about nine and a half stones (maybe a touch more) but could lose another 2 stones and still have a round, wobbly belly. I'm 54 so perhaps it is an age thing. My sister is 50 and has a nice flat tummy but she never had any children. I wonder if maybe it's because the muscles have gone relaxed, due to carrying babies? Grrrr.

If there is, they're lying (you can breathe out now)
