Stopped working out 4-5 days a week. Started 3 maybe 4 days and less exercises Per muscle. Am feeling much better now. I am still dropping tonnage and will step up the workouts as i get into better shape.

Soo people who have previously not had a six pack then got one. Ive only been doing sit ups for about a month ive worked myself up to about 240 a day and ive lost 10 lbs. Not sure how much i should weigh im 5'8 and 155 lbs. Well after a month of doing sit ups my obliques are starting to get defined but my stomach is not. Its completely flat and I have noticed that it is much harder than it was before. Do i need to loose more weight or just build more muscle mass? Im also working out the rest of my body dont worry lol

put some weight into it when you do situps? The hard thing about the abs is that you have to not only gain muscles there, you need to cut off the fat too. It doesn't matter how much muscles you have there, if it's covered by a thick layer of fat, you'll never see those muscles. It works the other way around too of course, if you have no muscles and no fat, there really won't be anything to look at either.

Loosing weight alone doesn't really achieve that, losing body fat is key, like I stated. I think the avg for a male should be around 7-10% body fat to show off 6packs

Try elevated crunches from a stable location. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Abs aren't made in the gym, they're made in the kitchen. Fix your diet.

Is there something special I should eat? or is it just a matter of loosing weight? Ive changed my diet too in the past month of starting to work out, quit drinking pop completely stoped eating fast food and junk food. I try to eat as organic as possible and eat a lot of meat and protein

Can never have enough veggies. Steam in the bag from the store are cheap, fast and easy if you are hungry and don't to eat something less healthy.

Good luck, it will be a great feeling when you finish. As soon as the ceremony is over, you are going to want to sign up for another, and another etc. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I did not want to take the time to read all the pages but false getting fit is 100% diet 100% lifting you can't not put in 100% on either end and expect the other to make up for it... But glad to hear you decided to change your un-healthy ways keep it up!
