I am 16 years old, I weigh 165 pounds, and am 6 foot tall. I started going to the gym around 3-4 months ago and started at 185 pounds. I lost 20 pounds and look alot thinner than before. Since i lost the weight ive been working on my abs. I have a little bit of flab at the bottom and around the mid section of my abs. I am not perfectly flat on my lower stomach. I was wondering if i should loose more weight and go to like 150? Would it be easier to get abs? Or should i keep trying to work on getting them. I eat right , a good breakfast ,cereal, an ok lunch and dinner. I dont drink soda and only drink water and iced tea with no sugar or calories. If anyone can help me on what to do here I am stuck and dont know what to do. Drop more weight and get rid of the remaining fat or should i work on getting the abs. Thanks!:confused:
 
Hey Phil, welcome!

Congrats on the success so far! Although at six feet tall, 165 sounds like a decent weight, I probably wouldn't recommend losing weight, but rather, losing fat, but building muscle mass at the same time. What are you currently doing at the gym? Also, can you list a few more details about your diet?

One of the best ways to burn fat I by building muscles!!! Big muscles = more energy spent = easier to burn fat!
You burn about 50 kcal per 1 lbs muscle you have, so if you gain 10 lbs muscle mass you will burn 500 kcal extra each day by doing nothing!!!
I will defiantly recommend you to make muscle building you first priority, and then the abs will easier pop out….

Cheers :action11:
 
I do inclined crunches , captains chair , free weights, bench , and all the ab workout machines there. I eat cereal in the morning and a regular lunch of whatever i can get thats not junky and a good dinner. I do not take any suppliments even though i was wondering if i should take whey protein or not? Tell me what you think Thankyou for your response
