yes, it is possible, I was in the same situation in May, and I have obtained the coveted six-pack,and the good news is that you dont have to do thousands of situps every day! ok first you eat all that good stuff (veggies,fruits,breads,lean meat) and drink LOTS OF WATER every day, NO JUNK FOOD OR SUGAR or any of that stuff u know isnt good for you. second you run for at leats 20 min a day, it doesnt matter about the speed as long as you keep going, you can stop to walk a little, but gradually build yourself up to the point where you can go 30 min withought stopping. About situps, you dont need to get fancy, just regular situps with an assist holding your feet down works perfectly,and you dont need to do thousands, just do 2-4 sets with short 15-20 sec breaks in between do sets of 15-25. whatevers comfortable, do these at least 5-6 times a week and you should have those results in at least a month at most 3 months depending on your current weight. It took me 1 and a half months cause i kept eating a lot still, but thats normal. Just try to eat less but more often.

depends on how much fat you have around the stomach to begin with. you can not just get a 'six pack' without first losing weight all over. In order for a six pack to show, you must have a low body fat.
1. run ALOT
2. do lots of situps/crunches.

Read the recommendations below. Also, go to the book store and locate the book "Weight Training for Dummies". In chapter 15 you will find excellent information on how to perform abdominal exercises correctly. Page 218 of the book dispels all the myths surrounding abdominal training. It is impossible to tell how long it will take because everyone's genetics are different.
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.
*Click on all the source links below to get the full benefit of the recommendations. The answers presented to your health questions are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

Dude, you can do a thousand sit ups a day, and you'll have a six pack...it'll just be underneath all that fat. Make sure you do a good load of cardio to burn it off and then do your thousand sit ups.

eliminate any saturated fat and hydrogenized oils in your diet then, drink lots of water and dedicate 30 minutes a day to cardio. in addition, do ab exercises at least three times per week. try flat bench leg lifts, crunches, hanging leg lifts, twisted decline sit-ups, planks, etc. one month maybe a little premature but don't quit. it may take three or four months to get the look you want
