Even when I played sports in high school/college and was at my peak fitness, I couldn't see my abs.
I've been working out a lot lately and still can't see them. They have to be under there, right? Maybe someday I will see them! Not gonna obsess about it though - just gonna eat healthy and exercise and see what happens.
Have you ever seen your abs?

I had a 6-pack when I was a sprinter, from about 11-16. After I stopped running I could still see my abs though my 6-pack started disappearing. Maybe one day.

yes - when I was 16 I had great abs and then again when I met my DH at 28
I am pretty sure I will never see them again though

Nope. Even when I was very skinny they weren't very defined.

Just the top pair. The other members of the "pack" have been hidden forever.

In middle school when I played a bunch of sports and early college when I was in Tae Kwon Do.

Nope! I was almost there and then I got pregnant. Now my abs have run away.

They showed up for a couple of years during high school, when I grew really fast and thinned right out. I miss those little guys! At this point, I'm not sure I have any abs at all....

I can kind of see them now...or the top pair anyway. A two-pack, haha. I've been working out more and eating healthier than I ever have, though, and I'm not sure it's sustainable. I'm lazy and am getting tired of thinking so hard about what I eat

Yes. I think I've always been able to? I don't have a 6-pack or anything, but I've always had decent definition. I've exercised my abs consistently since I was about 12, though, so I guess that has probably contributed.

Yes - the only time I couldn't was when I had S. It took me about 6 months PP until I could see them again, but they've been back ever since.

I can see them if I suck in my stomach. I don't think I've ever been able to see them without doing that.

Pre baby I had a legit 6 pack. In between kids my stomach got pretty muscular again.

Yes, but mostly just the top ones. So hard to tone those lower abs.
blogger / pomegranate / 3201 posts
Nope. My core has always been my strongest area, and my stomach has usually been pretty flat, but no defined abs.

Nope. My stomach is usually pretty flat...but no abs. I don't really mind as long as there isn't pooch!

As a six pack? No way. As a huge keg like shape? Yes three times. (Get it?! When I was pregnant I saw them really stretched out!!!! Just me, that's comedic gold. You'll laugh later).

when i was a 9th grader playing soccer and running track! we were literally doing hundreds of crunches/ab exercises. never since then.

Nope, I'm sure they're under there somewhere, I'm sure they're just covered by insulation

Yup. Not hard core six pack but I used to do sit-ups quite a bit and my stomach got toned as a result. You wouldn't know it since I've been post c section.

Nope. Not even in my early twenties when I worked out twice a day, 3 times a week with a trainer, and ate nothing but lean meats and produce for a year. I was skinny, had great arms and legs, but not even a hint of an ab. I think sometimes genetics just work against you.

Over 10 years ago when I was unemployed for almost 10 months and had nothing better to do but hit the gym a lot!
