six-pack

Avatar m tn These stretch marks are affecting my bodybuilding and my well being. My self consience with my shirt off is at a all time high even though I had a six pack. I've applied cocoa lotion, bio oil, you name it I've tried it..nothing works :(.. Any help would be fantastic!
Avatar f tn It's photoshop, for the most part. I'm sure some of them actually don't have stretch marks, because a few women get away with none, but most of it is editing.
Avatar n tn Gymdandee does not share my view on this, but genetics plays a big role in having six pack abs, and so does an unhealthy obsession with looks. Very few of even the most highly trained professional athletics have highly visible six pack abs. Most who do got them by taking steroids and human growth hormone. The sports with the most six pack ab types are the sports with the highest known use of illegal and unhealthy diets and drugs.
Avatar n tn For a six-pack to show, you must reduce body fat. The body fat percentage necessary to reveal a cut torso varies according to your genes and body type, but for most men, a percentage of 6 to 8 percent will reveal abs, while for women require a percentage of about 11 to 13 percent. To reduce body fat, reduce calories below what you burn daily, which can be determined by finding your basal metabolic rate. A 250- to 500- deficit daily will lead to a 1/2- to 1-pound weight loss in a week.

Any answer? Thank you for your time. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1060819'>tummy tuck</a>.
Avatar f tn I'm 20 pregnant with my second. 6 weeks tomorrow. I didn't use anything with my son for stretch marks just got lucky I guess. I don't have any except on my boobs but with this one I'm definitely being careful when should I start using something and what is the best thing to use? help!
Avatar f tn I have this strange cluster of stretch marks [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/smbvb7.jpg[/IMG] someone please tell me what this means. The leg they are on is hurting to move. I can barely use my muscles to lift that leg forward. I put an ice pack on that leg and found these clusters of stretch marks after taking the ice pack off.
Avatar n tn Hi there , id like to know you experiences with bioline elasticizing stretch marks cream . Does it work& how to use it?
Avatar f tn I have a semi squishy belly but my main concern are the stretch marks. Those are my biggest fear. I dont want to look like a tiger for the rest of my life. I loved wearing shirts that showed my tight little belly and belly ring..
Avatar f tn m 26w and have been using Palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks since I was 16w.
Avatar n tn Genetics have a lot to do with it. In other words, not everyone has the ability to have picture perfect 6-pack abs. What kind of ab exercises are you doing? And no, its not a waste of time. Working out is making you healthier. Something like 6 pack abs aren't always the best indicator of who is healthy and who is not.
Avatar f tn / after my I had my son was like omg! He will be six weeks on Wednesday and I still have stretch marks on my hips and legs and my coco butter isn't helping... And I still have a little belly. It drives me crazy. I want my 6 pack back. I tired sit ups and nothing. I was 120 and when I had him I was 175 and now I'm 144. My hips are wider, and my arms and legs are bigger, but my hubby said I look better. I just wish my tummy would go away.
Avatar f tn White/silver stretch marks are old ones, new are usually purple so you must have always had them they just may appear more now with being pregnant, so don't worry at least they're white :0) I am sure your fiance will still find you attractive though, try and share your worries with him.
Avatar f tn Not that anyone knows how to best work the abs, though, as far as I can tell. For six pack abs, quite frankly, most who have them don't get them through exercise -- it's a sure sign of steroid use, since the belly should have some fat. You'll never see agricultural or hunter-gatherer cultures with flat stomachs. Other than this, the above post is right on.
Avatar m tn Hi people, everyone has concerns about the well being of their child I too have some. Lately, he is getting mad to get the abs (six pack abs as they call it). I don’t think that this is something bad but the ways he is trying is a bit crazy. He believes all that is being told to him and I can’t figure out how he can get them without training the right way with the right exercises.
Avatar f tn I'm a nice guy when people aren't trying to flummox other people. What are we here for but to help other people instead of spreading misinformation, which is something you do a lot -- I don't think you do it unintentionally, I just think you do it because you read a lot of things and like to report them as if they're fact and not theory based on limited research.
Avatar f tn For me, hard work hard physical labor such as yard work, lifting, perhaps building a wall with stone ... this was the type of work that got me a six pack, but at the same time I was losing weight for a health problem (Celiac) so my body fat got low.
Avatar n tn Hi Everyone, I have been trying these for months and months but it doesn’t help me anymore. I am talking about six pack abs that I am trying to get. I joined a gym for this and the trainer told me that I would get them…but NOOOO!! That did not help me and later on I have tried a few tips that I have been suggested by my friends but that also was of no use (the whole thing helped the abs a little…but not as I wanted).
Avatar f tn I use Palmers cocoa butter formula massage lotion for stretch marks. I'm almost 15 weeks with my 3rd and don't have any strtch marks on my tummy.
Avatar f tn My 1st child I never got any stretch marks. I am 21 weeks with my 2nd and still hve no stretch marks. I would say regardless butter up ur belly & keep it moisturized.
Avatar f tn Not all small girls get stretch marks my sister was 103 pounds before she got pregnant she gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy and she never got stretch marks but me on the other hand I was 115 before I got pregnant I've gained 22 pounds so far and I have stretch marks all over my stomach!

6333619 tn?1386598382 My sister has a large winding flower tattoo down ribs and tummy to hips she had it between babies so where she got new stretch marks with 2nd baby they are still visable through her tattoo but the image is the same.
Avatar n tn You improve balance and engage your hip flexors and rectus abdominis—your six-pack muscles.
Avatar f tn t really see this tummy butter (cocoa butter) really working for my stretch marks and ive been using it everyday since i saw them first show up. Any thing else i can use that'll work better?
Avatar f tn Many articles written about the flat abs fantasy. One geneticist stated its all in the genes for having a six pack. The goal should really be to decrease belly fat. I work out a lot, but my body just will never have the Hollywood abs mythos and I am fine with that. You are right. Its not normal.
434240 tn?1216392070 Just wanted to know if any of you noticed that you seem to stretch out and get larger with the more children that you have. At my appointment 2 weeks ago, I am already bigger now than I was with my 2nd at full term. Ouch, have never gotten stretch marks before, but I have a feeling they may develop with this one.
Avatar m tn I am a Biology Major and have a Chemistry Minor so if you want to speak somewhat medical terminology feel free to and I can look up / figure out what you mean to save you some time. In other wards you don't have to dumb it down too much if you don't want, what is easiest for you I will be MORE than grateful! This is really stumping me!
