In November of 2001 I went on a permenant diet. Basically I eliminated all fat from my diet, all fried food, high fat dairy/snacks, almost all sugar, chips/cookies/cakes and ate purely vegetables, fruits, grains and that nasty soy crap.. Not fun..

In April of 02' I started eating chicken and turkey again, along with some of the leaner fish. Ive been on this diet until now, and went from 220 to 170 lbs ( in a 4 - 5 month timeframe ) ( 5'11 )

Now, I know that getting rid of all that stuff probably was bad for my overall health , and I wasnt even thinking about weight lifting, I simply wanted to lose some weight..

Now as I work out, I work my abs to hell and back, yet my abs never show. Ive virtually eliminated the fat on my chest/stomach, but I have this extra skin that just wont go away. I cant burn it off as fat, and I really dont know what else I can do to get flat abs. Im only 16 and have no idea how much taller I will grow, so I cant just hope that it 'stretches' out.

Any advice would be great
