    AHEM!!!!! And what about me? Otter isn't even hard to spell.

    Okay, I'm still at high bf% and can't really be considered fit yet. Butt, I want to act all pitiful and left out and stuff, too :cry: . I'm feeling left out of being left out. Or something like that.

    Also I'd beg to disagree. I'm sure you could outlift and outrun many of my lower body fat friends which do not have climbing walls in their kitchen. I'd consider you more fit then many skinny irl friends.

    :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

    Now, if only I could climb the stupid (err, I mean awesome) rope in my kitchen instead of hanging from it.

    I bet you'll do that waaaayyyy before I ever run a 5k...lol.

    First, I want to say - preach it girl! You look amazing and have really put in a lot of hard work. Congratulations!

    Second, I want to thank you for sharing this with all of us, but mainly women. It's hard to get used to the more lifted, "squat" booty. Because it does feel bigger and doesn't fit into the smaller sized pants I used to have (I'm talking as someone who needed to gain a little rather than lose it).

    Third, I want to thank you for your humor and correct use of the English language. I see that so rarely on here that I feel a need to point it out. :)

    Congrats again! Once I get the form down, I long to be able to squat 110!

    Make sure you're using good form. I have arthritis and fibromyalgia and squats have never bothered my knees. Actually I find that heavy squats are better for the knees than body weight squats when done correctly because you get a lot more bang for your buck. There's no need to do hundreds of reps.

    Yes you'll get a lot more benefit from weighted squats for a lot less reps. Instead of doing 100s of reps of bodyweight squats you can do 5x5 weighted squats and get great results.

    Since you've still got weight to lose what you'll accomplish is to keep the muscle you have while you lose the fat. So basically your body will shrink and your butt will stay the same size, which will make your butt look fuller and rounder.

    OP - Chelled... you are amazing! Your post makes so much sense, and it's something I was actually struggling with. I bought new trousers the other day, and was really deflated because I went UP a size. I tried blaming the shop, but it happened in 2 others. The only problem was that I couldn't get it over my *kitten*... and it's kinda too big in the waist.

    Now I realise the issue - my *kitten* is actually doing what it's supposed to! :P

    Thanks so much for this post :D
