| You need to strengthen your core in addition to working out to hold everything in. Work your way up to daily 3 min planks and do a couple ab routines a week. Also look at what you are eating. There are lots of foods that can me women bloat. Dairy, anything with skunk (corn, etc) |
I respectfully disagree. I went to a large high school and we recently had a reunion - looking at pics from the old days we didn't have fat stomachs, tall, short or average height. It's an observation. There were definitely young women with hips and butts - that's pretty normal given hormones. Belly fat is an endocrine issue. I really think that the environment changed and younger women have been screwed - it's not under their control. |
^^^^ Also more young men have belly fat these days. Environment has to be the factor. |
Hormones and pesticides in foods. |
I hate the word brigade, it's annoying. Your certainty and know it all vibe, even moreso |

I'm 5'2" so slightly taller than you asked for. I have a flat tummy until I'm over 140/141. Above that, slight love handles begin to appear.
My arms on the other hand? Another story. I have a six pack, jiggly arms, and thick thighs. |
| It’s genetic. I’m 5’ 5” and even at my thinnest - 103 lbs, due to a heath issue, and pretty fit (lifting heavy etc) - my stomach was not completely flat. |
+2 I've always had visible abs even when I've had extra weight around my hips, even post-babies. |

Isn’t that the girl from Modern Family? The one who had the breast reduction? |
Frickin’ never.

I believe it is. People should never slut shame her or anyone else for what she wears. She likes the clothes, so deal. And she’s not fat whatsoever. GTFOH. |
NP. I somewhat disagree. Fatness is based on socioeconomics now. Upper middle class teens are just as thin as they were “in the old days.” My daughters middle school has very few overweight girls or boys. Unfortunately working class, middle class and obviously poor families have not enough money or time to have well balanced diets or enough time/money for exercise. In “the old days” poor and working class were skinny. |
