Squats Ruined My *kitten*!

IN to find out what the hell a 5% deficit is.
Especially interested in what it means for a person that isn't even logging
TDEE is 2050. For the last 3 months i have eaten pretty much the same things every day. Equalling 1900-1950 cals per day. I made my own meal plans and made sure they equalled around 1900cals per day. NOT for December though. I have been eating whatever whenever in December.
so this would the Margin of Error Eating Plan?
i believe this is called - the four week plan to add poundage to your rear plan"0 -
what is the difference between a bubble butt and a squat *kitten*? I thought those were the same thing..... can anybody find me pics of the difference? I have "fat girl *kitten*"... so I know what that one looks like.0

You gained weight, and you're surprised some of it is in your *kitten*, which you've been exercising.I don't care what guys think. I don't want a body with a big *kitten*, period. There are other exercises i can do that target the thighs and hammies. My *kitten* was fine before squatting, especially when i was 15lbs lighter. I have really nice jeans that i can't wear because of this squat *kitten*.

If you have the muscle mass capability you will grow that region. You are right, lower weight and more reps will firm and not build. Cardio does wonders as well. How many long distance runners are huge? None.0

You don't log your food. You're probably building some nice muscle under the fat, which is why your pants are tight.
I had a bubble butt my whole life. Heavy squats (200+ pounds) plus heavy lunges, deadlifts and hip raises have just made it look even better. Had to get rid of fat along the way. My butt is actually pretty famous around here and the envy of many.
Cool, what did u do to get rid of the fat? Just kept heavy lifting and ate at a deficit? fat burning cardio?
Lift heavy (bodybuilding hypertrophy routine) and eat at a slight deficit every day until I got to where I wanted to be (TDEE minus 10 or 15%). I didn't do cardio.
ETA: If you don't log and refuse to log good luck getting to where you want to be. It is very important to log and log accurate.0 -
You're saying a fat round *kitten* is better than a small tight *kitten*?0

Without pics, it is hard to tell what's going on. But it can be irritating not to have clothes fit the way you want them to fit.
uhem! ur a guy just wanting to see a pic of a chics *kitten*. Move along please.
I thought he was being honest and also empathetic... I felt like it was a kind little post. Both parts are true - it is hard to tell what's up without pics... and it most certainly can be irritating to not have clothes fit the way you like.
See the good :-)
That being said - it sounds like you've probably built up more muscle - glutes - that you'd like... heavy lifting does tend to build muscle, whereas lighter weights but higher reps may build a little muscle but mostly just tone, which is more like what it sounds like you want.
Good luck reaching your goals :-)0 -

Yep I wanna be the small again. 140lbs is small for me. New Year is new food plan, more deficit, prob 15%, and cardio 3-4 times a week with some lighter weights as in deads, ohp, bench press and on the machine: butterflys, leg extensions. I thought lunges didn't work the glutes AS MUCH as squats do.
Grammar: who cares. lol. And FYI - passed college course with an A in grammar and proofreading. But really, who cares? Maybe the business in which i apply to a job for?0 -
Not sure what you would think a "5% deficit" would accomplish. As others have mentioned, you have more than likely been eating considerably over TDEE. As a result you have gained and it's gone to your *kitten* and now you think the squats are to blame. With only 15lbs to lose there isn't much room for error in terms of your diet.
Dial in your diet, eat at a true deficit. If you aren't tracking and logging your food then start. Also weigh and measure everything. Keep lifting add some cardio if you feel like. And as an FYI, you won't find that many exercises for your "thighs and hammies" that don't include the glutes and any that do, well, you will get no where quick if your strength routine only includes those exercise.0 -
Lose the fat.Maybe i really did build nice muscle ----UNDERNEATH! If so, how do i reveal these muscles?
What was your weight 3 months ago?0 -

Squats actually work quads more - they are not really the 'best' exercise for glutes...something like hip thrusts are.0 -
lol. you've stated doing squats gave you an *kitten* you don't like. and you also allude to the fact that you attended college. I may be making a leap of faith here, but i'll assume you passed said college and obtained a degree. with this logic, i assume from your initial complaint that doing squats gave you an *kitten* you don't like, you can try to squeeze that big *kitten* into your tight big girl pants and deduce what it is you might be able to do, or not do as the case may be, to get a scrawny flat *kitten* back.0

I think you've posted this before, like a week ago.0

Me too, as I just spent some time holding onto my own squat *kitten*.0 -

Fluctuate between 150-155lbs. So annoying. And i know everyone is gonna tell me to log.............i hate that. Especially knowing that some people (including myself) have lost weight without logging. Just healthy in moderation and cardio and weights (light or heavy) I just want to be smaller and therefore, weight less. I said earlier that 140lbs in my "sweet weight". That's the weight that makes me feel sexy and small. I don't think focusing on heavy lifting is gonna get me there. I think deficit and cardio will. Remember people, i just wanna be smaller. No BIG pertaining to my body in my vocabulary.0 -
Um. k. :huh:0

I'm not sure what sort of outcome you were expecting from squats. They're known to lift and firm your butt, this could give the appearance of a larger butt. In my case I had a flat butt and squats + dead lifts gave me actual shape. If you prefer a flat butt or no butt at all then don't do them.
This is my first serious post in a long time, so I have to ask, have to tried It Works Body Wraps?0 -

Can't out-train a bad diet.
It does not matter what exercise you do if you don't eat a reasonable (more than about 5%) deficit.
Any deficit at all in the last 3 months should have led to some weight loss.
Log, don't log. But eat a reasonable amount less and you will get smaller.0 -

Just create a deficit...eat less and/or move more. I would not stop doing squats though as there are a bunch of other benefits. The squats aren't the issue from the sound of it - its the fact that you have gained a bit of weight.0 -

I think squats ruined my *kitten*. I've always had a nice bubble butt but now from 3 months of squats 3 times a week getting up to 100lbs 3X5 I don't even fit my jeans and I just got this big round thing for a behind. I don't like it. Maybe lunges will do more what im looking for? Leaner hammies and get my small, regular bum back? FYI - was eating very healthy the last 3 months, Prob only 5% deficit but still a deficit, although December has been a different story. Eat whatever, whenever and shovel snow every 2-3 days.
Anyways, point is i don't like anything on my body to be associated with the work BIG. Im 5'9" and 155lbs and i wanna weigh 140lbs because that is the weight i felt sexy and SMALL at. I am thinking i should just switch to deficit and cardio with heavy weights 1-2 time a week. Once goal weight is met, then eat maintainence plus a little sometimes and continue the same exercise.
I know my body looks good at 140lbs and I don't want to wait and see what lifting heavy all the time will do. Like i said, i hate my big, round *kitten* from squats!
PS: Not me in the profile pic. Im not ready to post pics. Not til my goal is met. That will be my reward. Professional fitness pics.
I know this is bad for you but do not take this the wrong way... but THANK GOODNESS! Someone who got the results I'm searching for doing squats! Love this! Go ahead and give that big ole booty to me and you can have my regular one! lol
But seriously, stop doing squats.0 -

Please use correct grammar when making a post that is condescending to me. Thank you.

i see a "why is everybody so rude?" thread in your future.
good luck with your goals. or not. whichever is the one you want to hear.0 -

Well, to be fair, you are on a logging website.
Yes, people can lose by not logging. They are still eating less than their TDEE, they just happened to find that other ways, by lowering food intake, upping exercise. However, if not logging it isn't working you can eat even less or add more exercise (or a combo of both). Or, another very logical step would be to actually log to see what you are really eating.0 -

Squats are not intended to make an *kitten* smaller, but they can make an *kitten* better.0 -
this is an interesting thread..
OP wants to eat whatever she wants for month of December and not track/log; then complains about the massive rear that she gained; then says that a after new years wants to get "small again"; but then in same post says "hates logging/weighing' = *mind freaking blown"
note to self - this is what happens when you go off the rail for a month and then have to spend the next three months getting back on track, only so you can once again go off track ….0 -

Lol, ur too funny. I said i wanted my nice, bubble butt back. Not this bigger, rounder squat *kitten*.0 -
You're so upset that you squatted and your *kitten* got huge. Stop squatting or use less weight. Why whine about it? Also, when we ask to see pictures, some of us want to actually form an educated opinion on the matter and not drool over your bubble butt.0

Wrong. Correct grammar is for people who don't want to look like an effing illiterate. It sickens me to see how many people these days don't care that poor spelling/grammar/punctuation/ gives the impression of ignorance.0
