First of all, I hope everyone is well. I am sort of freaking out here was hoping for some encouragement or advice.
For 3 years I've sat at a desk all day at my job and my butt and thigh size has tripled. I'm only in my twenties and yes I didn't exercise or eat well.
Now I am out of a job at the moment and going to school. I still sit all day but I diet and exercise about 1 and half hours a day. Its been a few months since I started doing this and there has been some improvement thankfully, but it has stopped.
I will try and change things up but what I want to know is, is it possible to get my butt back the way it was if I just keep going at it? Is it not enough that I exercise and diet? I hope to find a job where I'm standing...
I know it took years to get the way it was and I can't expect it back right away but its been a few months but I'm getting scared.

    The more overall fat I lose and muscle I gain my hips are going away and my butts looking back to what it did YEARS ago. Keep toning and losing fat - you may not be the same but you'll have a firm happy healthy rump to sit on!

    I feel ya on that one, girl! I have always had a plump rump and "child bearing hips" :grumble:

    I asked for some advice on here a while back about toning my butt and thighs and a lot of ppl suggested running. I've been working at running more and every time I do I love the next day when I can feel where my hips and thigs are sore. I also do a lot of walking lunges with dumbells. I haven't worked up the nerve to try squats in the gym though, I definitely should! :blushing:
