Probably. But not always. It depends as usual on ones ability to lower
their bodyfat percentage and their genetic skin elasticity. The
popularity of tummy tucks shows that most people either arent willing
to go the distance or just cant get to that level no matter what. One
example of a woman who did tho is Mina:

Pam ... her first pics: http://www.bodychangers.com/interview_reading.php?id=119
who went into competitions: http://www.pam-brown.com/index.html

So altho not probable, its possible ...

Most of this is going to have to do with one's genetics and age. If she was
older and had a lot of stretched out skin, then she may never get rid of the
skin other than through surgery. If she is young and has good elasticity to
her skin, it should be no problem. When I decided to get back into shape
when I was 21, I went from a 33" waist to a 28" waist and had no problems
with skin. I was young too. Most people don't get rid of the fat, so many
times they want to blame their genetics when they are just lazy.

Having missed the rest of this thread and not having seen the show, I
still have to point out that fat loss normally follows the first on,
last off rule. If a person is predisposed to abdominal fat (the "beer
belly" it would be more difficult for that person to develop a
'six-pack" than a person who has fat stored all over.

Not impossible, but difficult.

As well some women have a 'pooch' which is the result of the skin
stretching during pregnancy. Once again, makes it difficult for them.

Even among extremely muscular, low bodyfat bodybuilders the six pack can
be elusive for a few. Boyer Coe comes to mind. Amazingly muscled, low
fat and yet it was tough for him to develop a six pack.

As again though, as a general rule it is simply a matter of reducing
bodyfat. There are some exceptions.

Did you think the personal trainer was in the least bit credible?

Amazing what diets can do, doesnt it?

Besides reducing bodyfat, your skin color and bodyhair pattern also change.

Not to mention the skin that starts to secrete excess oil.

The placement disposition is genetic - it won't change. However, there
are other hormonal factors that have changed with age which may affect
how you store fat when you are younger. As with most body things it is
multifactoral. Lots of stuff going on. So while gene expression may be
saying 'store fat on gut' hormonal expression may be saying to store on
other places too. So how you store fat can change with age, but it isn't
because gene expression has changed - it is moderated by other factors.

I'm not sure what you mean here. You have rectus abdominus and internal
and external obliques. The internal and external obliques are
responsible for flexion, rotation and lateral flexion. If your
traditional exercises don't target them you are doing the wrong
traditional exercises, as most core work uses them. Put another way both
traditional gymnastics and traditional pilates exercises target them
extensively.

Not able, willing to go. I guarantee you most people are able to develop
a six-pack, but most aren't willing to. It is a question of volition,
not ability.
