Your biggest challenge would probably be in keeping the six-pack.

For a real quest, try for an eight-pack!

BTW, I am large-framed for my size...a tape measure around my chest on
the outside of my arms is about 25". *I haven't had my body-fat
checked in a while...I'm sure it's still a big number at this point.

Thanks.

Haven't you ever seen that TV show "The Biggest Loser"? *These things
can definitely be done, but the real problem is staying in tip-top

BTW, just as an FYI, I'm also 240 pounds right now and have a four-
pack at somewhere around 20% bodyfat, give or take a little. *There
are people who weigh 50 pounds less than me but look a good roly-poly
hundred pounds more! *I suspect bodyfat percentage, while a much
better figure than a simple bathroom scale number, could also be
deceptive like that somehow....

Sure you can, but not each kind of sit ups will help and once you get
it, you just need to be very concistent in keeping it. Good luck!
