  I don't have a belly pooch, I have a belly balloon.

  I was working out heavily and at my skinniest (about 17% body fat). Still had a low belly pouch, it was always slightly hard bump and had a “v-line”. 9 years later, discovered I have endometriosis so the pouch turned out to be a “endo belly” the whole time. Moral of story, it’s okay if you have little pouch, we’re women not tiny men.

  I genetically store a lot of fat on my stomach, all the women in my family have that pouch, no matter how skinny. I think it's really nice/ endearing. When I am bloated/ on my period/ have eaten too much fiber, it is very common for my stomach to look about 4 months pregnant (if I don’t suck in), even though I'm very athletic and look lean/ “skinny” otherwise. The human body is fascinating and I do not at all wish for a flat stomach. I love that I look like all the amazing women in my family and I think it suits me aesthetically

  We should just normalize having a healthy body and for women this means to have a fat pouch on your belly. <br>So many people losing their menstral cycle because their bodies are in survival mode. THIS IS NOT NORMAL <br>This means you are starving.

  I was in a deficit for months but didn’t drop the lower belly fat until I took more days to rest and recover from hit cardio &amp; weight training. The largest drops on the scale came immediately after eating in a small surplus while being in a deficit 6/7 days of the week. I’m in a deficit 4-5/7 days now and am seeing amazing results. I still walk on my rest days for movement and steps and eat mindfully but am not strict with my diet on these days and my body has responded so well.

  I like how you say &quot;pouch&quot;. It almost sounds like &quot;pooch&quot;. Making flab sound cute.

  Video is so unbelievably helpful and underrated. I had been technically “obese” my whole life (weighing at 150 in 6th grade😬), and only up until the past 4 years have a lost weight considerably. Going from 200 to 136 at my lowest. When I was heavy, I always wanted to be in the 130s (I’m 5’4), but now that my body is there, I realized it wasn’t the weight that i desired because I don’t like how small I look. I just wanted to LOOK healthier. And little did i know looking so small and thin (without working out) made me feel unhealthy again. So I’m back to losing overall body fat but maintaining or even gaining weight but it being muscle mass. This video is a god sent fr

  When I was underweight (about 110 pounds, I&apos;m 5&quot;8 for reference) I still had the pouch. And I think it actually stuck out more when I was skinny, because since gaining a healthy amount of fat and a little muscle it doesn&apos;t look out of place anymore. But I spent years doing workouts just focused on getting rid of it. Nothing wrong with wanting to change your body, but there&apos;s also nothing wrong with having a little extra fat.
