Hello.
Im currently 153lbs and 5'9". I was 140lbs prepregnancy and now Im 16month post preg and still 153lbs BUT I've been lifting heavy for a few months now. I was wondering if my bum has gotten bigger from doing the 30 Day Squat Challenge in April and then switching to barbell front squats in May (I started 50lbs 3 times a week, then 60lb, now 70lbs) The reason I ask this is #1 No where's closer to fitting my prepreg clothes. #2 A person(an idiot, fat old man) asked if I was putting on weight and that I was getting "chunky" last week and this week. Unfortunately I never took measurments before hand so this 2 things are just making my feel fat and that heavy weights aren't helping me look lean.... Thoughts people please!!!! Thanks

You said in PMs that your clothes fit looser. This means that your butt did not get bigger.0
-
no pics... no measurements... only that you are still 13 pounds away from pre pregnancy pants and you don't understand why you aren't fitting them? i'm not really sure what you want anyone to say0
-
I doubt it. Let it go, take measurements now.0
-
Are you tracking your food intake? More likely that you are hungrier from the lifting and eating more than you should be.0

you know what would clear this up? measurements. continue doing what you're doing and take measurements in a month
not sure how you would expect feelings and opinions to translate into any meaningful information that would give you an exact answer of yes or no0 -

Squats made me fat..... or was it the endless bags of doritos... I can't tell...0

Also a butt sculpted and elevated by squats is rarely a bad thing. My momma was stingy when handing out the booty genes (but oh so liberal with the thighs.) and I'm using squats to try to make up for what she didn't pass along. If your booty is suddenly popping I'd say you're doing everything right.0

^^Your food diary is inconsistent at best. If you're gaining weight it's from the food, not the squats.0 -

Bicep curls made me fat. Mostly because I was curling slices of pizza to stuff in my face.0 -

Did you curl that pizza in the squat rack?0 -

Oh, hell no. I didn't want the squats to make me even fatter!0 -
I tried to make an evaluation by profile creeping, but no bums? So I'm not sure? BTW, what is that contraption you are strapped into?0

Good, because everyone knows squats make pizza and doritos teleport into your *kitten*. If it runs out of room there, it steals your boobs and puts them on your thighs.0 -

Damn squats!0 -
I've been eating at a deficit for sure. I stopped logging a few weeks ago because I couldn't handle it anymore - it was stressing me out. Yes my current clothes are a bit loser BUT when I try on a pair of shorts that I wore last summer (6 months postpartum), they seem to fit just a snug and now im 16 months postpartum so i just don't get it. Scales says I didn't gain any weight either. I guess I just thought that since i noticed a bit of change from the heavy lifting that my prepreg clothes should fit now....but they don't. and it sure as hell doesn't help with this one a hole's person's comments to me about being chunky. Anyways, squats do tend to give a butt lift so maybe that is what has happened here. Gonna take some measurements tomorrow....0
