changes (diabetes is a great motivator!) I always set big goals and

see the abs is too big a goal.


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
condition.

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....

Six pack abs is a question of body-fat. You need 10% for them to be
visible.

I'm just starting week 4 of this:
http://www.iwantsixpackabs.com/my_video_journal.html

I don't expect to get ripped because it requires a bodybuilder's diet,
which isn't worth it to me. But after only 3 weeks of the program, I
feel every muscle in my body tightening up, and that IS worth the
effort.

You can do all the wild exercise in the world, but it you don't eat
correctly, you will never look good. Diet plays a FAR bigger role in all of
this.

Not exactly true, at least not for everyone. I lift regularly *and* eat
like an idiot. Sure, I have a pretty puffy mid-section but my enormous ass
(in a good way), thighs, shoulders, biceps, and chest help detract from
that...somewhat.

As I tell to the ladies, I have a six pack, I just keep it in the mini
fridge.

SOMEWHAT? You are a lardass.

And as they reply "I have a pussy, I just keep it away from fat guys
like you".

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!

to put it simple: yes a 6 pack is possible for you....Definitely. the
key? patience and persistence. You have to keep at it dont give up on
it. I made a blog to help people like you you could check it out if
you want http://superrippedabs.blogspot.com/ You have to remember
that you cant expect to get a 6 pack if your eating crap or if you
only do your abs excersises a couple times a week. You really got to
be persistant and try and work at them almost everyday. Hang in there
the end results are well worth it. ...Expecially come summer time (:
