in Health and Weight Loss
Hi everyone. Ok so I've lost about 44lbs so far since September 2015. Stalled for the last 2 months (no loss no gain) simply from not caring anymore. I still have around 30 more lbs to go. My problem is I don't like the way I look. I have the dreaded "Apple" shape and even with weight loss it's still tragic. Is there anyway I can gain a butt, a shape, through a specific workout? I don't have access to a gym. Any workouts would have to be done at home without equipment. I know I can't change my body type but being shaped like a fish is depressing.

    You look to have the foundations of a pretty good butt there! And you have a shapely waist. You're already the envy of plenty of women. Learning to find the positives will help you so much.

    Otherwise, you can do full body workouts as a general starter, making sure to get in lots of squats and lunges which are great for shaping the legs and bum. All these can be done with just body weight or weighted with dumbbells (adjustable ones are great for at home).

    I personally love Fitness Blender, on Youtube and their own website. Then there's You Are Your Own Gym and Convict Conditioning which I have seen recommended. I believe there's also a body weight Strong Curves/Bret Contreras plan available.

    Squats are magic. Keep a wider than shoulder stance to work those glutes.

    How many squats per day? How long does it usually take to start seeing results?

    Another great exercise is deadlifting. It's a total body movement - it'll help transform your body from neck to calves - deadlifting, squatting, benching and rowing have changed my whole body in the past two years. No more mum-bum here!

    Check out the web site of Bret Contreras. He is known as The Glute Guy. He has the top butt building techniques.

    You may need to purchase some weights to use at home but you can get them cheap at Walmart. :) That's where I get mine.

    As you continue your weight loss your curves will continue to improve and the "pear" shape you refer to will begin to change. Exercising will help you look even better as you reduce fat and increase muscle.

    That being said... I am very impressed with what you have accomplished. You are looking great! Remember that it takes time. Don't focus so much on the end, but the little accomplishments along the way.

    If you only have access to stuff around the house lunges are always good too. 44lb loss is excellent. Great job so far!
