My question is this, several people told me not to worry about abs until you lose weight in your stomach area because if you dont it builds muscle under the fat and makes you look fatter is this true? And should I still do the ab work out or wait until I lose alittle weight? thank ya

I think it is important to work the abs because they are one of the important stabilizer muscles that are utilized in other exercises. Hope this helps. Good luck! -------------- "Without the will, there's no way" Stan
