"cottage cheese" butt and thighs...

This makes total sense! When I was working full time last year for an entire summer I used to go running a lot after work and then after running I used to do squats with weights, and I did a lot of hot yoga. By the end of the summer I loved my *ss and thighs. It never ALL went away but it became minimal, but then when I went back to school in the fall I let myself go and now it's all backk. I guess I just had to maintain it. Oh phew-ey! now I gotta do all that work all over again. :grumble:

I have lost a lot of weight and this very issue is the reason I am still not comfortable in a bikini (or any swim suit for that matter) because while I am working and working and working ... my butt and thighs have been the last place to lose. The trainer at my gym said a great visual for how the body drops fat is from the head down and the feet up at the same time. Sad but true ... that means the middle section ... butt, thigh, belly ... yep, those go last and then when you gain, those gain first.

I figure the most important thing is that I AM working and working and working! Other parts have slowly started to shrink, so eventually I figure by butt as legs will catch up ... right?
