    you already know that i think this, but it bears repeating: dayum, girl. that is one sweet, sweet squat-enhanced bum.

    i'm thinking i better take pics of my own bum progress...
    Highly recommend bum progress pics. Wish I took more.

    1) CONGRATS! I just keep looking at your pictures and it appears to be more of a mind trick that there's barely any difference in weight on the scale. You seriously look like you lost 20 lbs in the pictures, and completely sexy. Gives me hope. I bet you are turning heads left and right and all the way around =)

    2) I know this is your success story, but you have me incredibly interested. May I ask what moves exactly you did and the length of time it took between the 1st and the 2nd picture? If you added things, started out with things and realized little effect. I guess I'd just like to hear more of the background story so I can start somewhere and hope that I look half as good ;)

    Turned up the exposure on the first pic and I gotta say....I thought it was only noticable naked but nope...yay for *kitten* no longer folding onto my legs.

    photo.jpg+ exposure turned up = photo.jpg->photo.jpg

    And this is why our hips sometimes increase in size while losing weight...my *kitten* decided to move up in the world. It may take up less space, but it's up higher and firmer which makes it show up on the measuring tape in places it wasn't before.

    This thread made me book an appointment with a trainer this morning to learn the right and wrong ways to lift. Starting Monday it on!

    Thank you!

    Ladies, be sure to do some good hip flexor and abductor stretches before and after squats. You'll definitely be using some muscles that get very little use once you start doing squats. Very nice progress pics CG.

    I am completely impressed with what you have accomplished!!! Wtg girl :) I also was of the mentality to drop the body fat first then start with weights ( I think in reality I was just REALLY intimidated by the weights) I didn't know where to start & how to use them.. Then there was the whole less weight more reps vs. more weight less reps debate & I was so confused ( still am most times lol ) but now I just go for it & do what feels good :) I try new things & change it up as I learn more & I'm loving It! You have inspired me more!! Can't wait to hit the gym today ;)

    You look fantastic! I am even more so jealous of the fact that you lost weight and kept your boobs. -_- (lovingly hating you right now in a jealous way)

    Thanks! And no need to be jealous, you are looking pretty damn fab yourself. I didn't have boobs until I was in my mid 20s, so there is still hope for you yet :tongue:

    Regardless, all the people I have seen who have worried about losing their boobs over exercise end up look so much better in the smaller version.
