2 years and no ABS

Hi  my name is Mahika and I am new to this forum.
My goal as a woman is not to become bulk but to get ABS I have been working out for the last 2 years and have nice muscles but NO ABS. well should not say that they seem to be shy.
I have never try any diet but I am wondering if someone can give me a tip on diet..I am not to let go of my chocolat bar on fridays but still would like to know if you can suggest something.
Thanks all
Mahika

Well I'm not a diet expert, so I'm not gonna start there. But I will say I wanted abs at the beginning of the year and I barly had a 3 pack. What I did was just do sit ups every night for about 10-20 minutes, yeah its a pain in the ass, but its worth it. After about 1-2 months I noticed the last 3 came in and I have been doing them sense august last year and now I have eight so, If you really want abs, might as well go for that, unless someone else here has an easier solution, I'm all ears on this one.

abs won't show if there is a layer of fat infront of them.  diet will show the abs.  working out the abs will make them bigger and harder, but even the biggest abs won't show through fat.

Thanks Kris142,
 
 I have nice upper Abs and can see them but the lower Abs are well hidden under ...I will try to do sit ups more often.
thanks for your quick reply.

Well dmobley01..  TRUE
 
Everyone tell's me that, this is why I wanted to know if someone had a idea about diet or else.
 
Thank for the reply

i wasnt going to reply but after kris's comment i should. dont waste your time with sit ups every night unless your bodyfat is low enough like dmobley said. abs can be worked 2-3x a week and that will be enough, the rest has to do with how much fat you have

oh sorry, guess i should read the whole thing.  there are so many "how do i get abs" posts it's crazy.
 
good place to start with your diet:

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

lol well your welcome, but thats Ronnie Coleman (8x mr. olympia) not me. However i've been told i look like him..besides the whole big black guy part

Hi RedJeep,
 
 your 100% right to be honest . But I do not want to try anything also. This is why when I saw this Site that someone real not a advertisement could give me a tip or a link to diet or else.
Thank for your reply!

hahahaha, thats ronnie coleman one of the biggest body builders right now.  it is confusing though.  you should still listen to him though.
 
 
also don't think of it as a diet but a lifestyle change.

Well David if you look half like him in my book you know more then me !!! and good for you to have this fitness level !

Ronnie Coleman?

Gary Colemans brother?

you have no abs huh?  if you didn't have abs, you'd have no stationary muscles holding you up and you would fall over face first.

EVERYONE has abs.  even 400 pound people.  

you have abs, but you want to get your BF % low enough to where you can see them.  which is why i kinda laugh when i see obese people at the gym doing lots of crunches.  it really isn't going to do anything for them at the moment.  and they should be on the treadmil getting rid of excess body fat so you can see certain muscles.  many people are misled in this type of thinking.

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

Holy hell that man s pretty damn huge

Hi TheSilverFox , your right I have abs but as i write earlier they are hidden for now under fat.

also, can we talk more about mahika's lips and size?

Now I am in trouble lips and size ... lool
Well to skip subject I want to thank you all for your answers..
 
Thanks

well what else would we talk about... how to lose fat gain muscle???  psh!

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

im sure this has been posted but you are going to want to find your resting metabolic rate there are plenty of calculators online just google it.  From there subtract 300 or so calories and have that as your target each day for caloric intake.  You should be losing roughly 1.1 pounds a week doing that alone.  Now if you incorporate cardio into your routine you can lose more each week but dont go past 3 pounds a week as that can be very unhealthy in the long run.

Hi ,Soccerking3000,
 
 I have about 6-7 opunds to loose to be happy but it seems that my lower Abs area is the area that my fat likes the mosts.
Well I will follow your guide lines .
 
Merci
