    There are tons of great youtube work outs to get the "best" results in building up the glutes and a few sites have some tips.

    I'm trying to prevent this right now. I started at 244lbs and i didn't have weights XD I'd been using 1ltr water bottles until a few months ago when i decided to buy some weights for my partner and myself. I imagine I have some muscle i can hopefully save while i lose which is why i started weight lifting straight away. I'm down 30lbs and my butts still there, it seems nicer than it was tbh, the cellulite's gone already o.o. So i'm hoping if i keep up my weight training it will stay there when i get to maintenance. Fingers crossed.

    You would probably need to gain very slowly to get the results you want and eat 200-250 calories more each day and i think you'd want to up your protein to 0.8 - 1gm of protein per lbs.

    Once you achieve the results you're happy with, you'd have to keep up the workouts to maintain it. So find a balance of work outs you enjoy =D I'd also invest in some weights =)

    I am having a huge issue with the protein, that may have something to do with it. I only get about half of that on a good day :(

    Just in case, since it wasn't clear to me whether you're all the way to goal weight or not: Protein requirements stated in terms of body weight can be calculated based on a healthy goal weight. We don't need extra protein to maintain extra fat mass.

    I lost mine too. Then built it back in a calorie surplus with hip thrusts and other money lifts.

    I'm old enough to remember you when you first started. Prior to bbell.

    Dedication shines through.

    Aw! Thanks. Sometimes it feels like time is standing still with all of this.

    When I'm thin I have no butt. I've never HAD a butt when thin. As a little kid I remember people complaining about my bony rear end if I sat in their lap. I was a jumper from elementary through high school track & field and I never, ever had a butt despite all the training. I was decent, too.. I just didn't have that nicely defined rear. Instead, pancake *kitten*. It never got "bubbly" when I got huge either. So I'm not terribly surprised it's nearly nonexistent now that I'm down to being a healthy weight again.

    The only irritating thing, to me, is that I have to wear a belt with low- or even mid-rise jeans to keep them up if they're at all loose. I guess I figure its not worth the effort when my entire family is full of flat-bottomed folks.

    Bad news for you. Your genetics are going to determine how fast and where you lose the wait and the fat. Yes you can do exercises to tone it up but it will only help so much.

    Learn to embrace the new you congrats on your success so

    I am at goal weight, actually a little below. Upped my calorie intake and it went straight to my stomach where I have residual fat/ flab, so that is very undesirable to me. I probably took in more carbs too than I should have but I was/ am hiking at least 4 days a week. I started doing squats with small weights but idk....

    I did track in high school as well, long jump, 100 m and relay. Always had a butt. But, I haven't given up completely yet. Determined to do something, Genetics and history has proven not to be the issue, I suspect age has something to do with it. It is firm, still have some dimple in upper thighs, sigh...I just don't want to be skinny fat lol

    I like the cable lunges and the forward push ups. Inventive.

    Sure. Look at the YouTube videos. Stable couch or chair - heavy, or backed up to a wall, is a fine bench substitute, for hip thrusts. Start with bodyweight for form, and add almost any manageable heavy household thing when you're ready to add weight. Eventually, you'll probably need real weights, but you can start without them.

    Deadlifts for life!

    *Squats are so overexposed these days but yeah they're great too.

    Hip thrusts are supposed to be amazing but I honestly just can't be bothered.

    The hip thrust has changed my life... and my booty. Try it !! :)

    Me too, I had a flat but even before I lost a lot of weight. Hip thrusts helped me more than squats.

    Your butt is prolly hanging out with my boobs on the beach somewhere. They ditched me last year when I lost a mere 15 lbs. Didn't take much for them to pack up and leave. *kitten*.

    Heavy hip thrusts helped my deads out too.

    OP, I got back into lifting after hiking a lot and seeing some nice changes in my butt. Yay!

    I had a similar problem, but I started having pain in my left hip due to a torn labrum from running. I did 4 weeks of PT because I was diagnosed with the injury right before my vacation to Machu Picchu (last week). Then I spent 8 days climbing around 7 different Incan archeological sights and walking around in cities where all the streets are steep hills (like in the photos below). My butt isn't so flat anymore. Climb stairs, walk up hills, do one leg deadlifts, one leg hip bridges, and one leg squats and you should start to see some flute definition.
